Lightweight and easy to handle, the I-shaped configuration allows for longer spans and more load-carrying capacity than dimensional lumber
Manufactured with Machine Stress Rated (MSR) or Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) Flanges and an enhanced OSB Web
Low moisture content means greater dimensional stability resulting in quieter floors and fewer costly callbacks
Wide flanges provide more support for floor sheathing and more surface area for nailing, saving time and money
