Nordic LamTM Columns—While glue-laminated timbers are typically used as some type of bending member, they are also ideally suited for use as columns. Because Nordic Lam products are manufactured from kiln-dried lumber under controlled temperature and humidity conditions, they have exceptional dimension stability.

• Industrial/architectural applications
• Time-saving installation
• No shrinkage
• Consistent moisture content
• Excellent fire rating
• Light weight
• Optimized fiber usage
• Meets all major building codes

Rosboro Treated Glulam—Rosboro Treated Glulam is a pressure-treated glulam beam made from Southern pine. This 24F, 1.8E glulam is treated by Permapost, allowing builders to use the beam in applications where it will be exposed to severe weather above ground without worrying about rot and decay.

• Resists rot and decay
• Easy to work with
• Available in common sizes
• Code Recognized: manufactured in accordance with ANSI Standard A190.1-02

Rosboro EWP Technical Notes

Nordic JoistTM—I-joists save builders time, and therefore money. I-joists are typically pre-cut in two-foot increments in length and shipped to the job site ready to install. This minimizes job site cutting and material waste. I-joists can be cut and fastened with traditional framing tools and fasteners—no special tools are required. In addition, allowable spans for uniformly loaded glued-nailed residential floors for both simple and multiple span applications are clearly stamped on each I-joist, making them easier for builders and remodelers to install properly, and more visible for code officials to inspect. Since I-joists can typically be used at greater joist spacing than conventional lumber joists, fewer pieces must be cut and handled on the job site, making I-joist installation less costly and less wasteful for the builder.

• 100% tension tested
• 100% MSR black spruce
• Simple to install
• Design flexibility
• Dimensionally stable
• Light weight
• Precut knockout holes
• Dressed/eased-edge flanges
• APA quality assured
