Engineered Floor Trusses

Engineered floor trusses are custom-designed structural components used to support floors in residential and commercial buildings. Built from dimensional lumber joined with metal connector plates, these open-web systems are engineered for strength, stability, and efficient load transfer.

The open-web design of floor trusses allows for easy routing of plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems without the need for drilling or notching—saving time, reducing labor, and preserving structural integrity. Each truss is tailored to the specific span and loading requirements of the project, providing long, clear spans with fewer interior supports and greater design flexibility.

Engineered for consistency and performance, floor trusses reduce common issues like floor bounce or squeaks, while offering superior strength-to-weight ratios compared to traditional framing methods. Their predictability and ease of installation make them a trusted choice for builders seeking efficiency, precision, and long-term durability.

Wood I-Joists & Engineered Wood Products (EWP)

Wood I-Joists and Engineered Wood Products (EWP) are advanced framing components designed for superior strength, stability, and efficiency in residential and commercial construction.

Wood I-Joists are lightweight, high-strength structural members used primarily in floor and roof framing. They are shaped like the letter “I,” with top and bottom flanges made of laminated veneer lumber (LVL) or solid sawn lumber, and a web made of oriented strand board (OSB). This design offers excellent load-carrying capacity with less material than traditional framing lumber, while reducing issues like warping, shrinking, and twisting.

Engineered Wood Products (EWP) encompass a range of precision-manufactured wood components such as LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber), PSL (Parallel Strand Lumber), and glulam beams. These products are engineered for consistent performance, allowing for longer spans, fewer support columns, and design flexibility that’s difficult to achieve with traditional lumber.

Both I-Joists and EWP are ideal for creating flat, stable floors and strong roof systems, offering builders and designers a reliable, sustainable alternative to conventional framing. They also contribute to efficient material use, reduced jobsite waste, and increased construction speed.

Structurally Insulated Panels (SIPs)

Structurally Insulated Panels, or SIPs, are high-performance building panels used in floors, walls, and roofs for residential and light commercial construction. Each panel consists of an insulating foam core sandwiched between two structural facings, typically oriented strand board (OSB). This composite construction provides exceptional strength, energy efficiency, and ease of installation.

SIPs are manufactured in a factory under controlled conditions and can be fabricated to fit nearly any building design. The result is a building system that is extremely strong, energy-efficient, and cost-effective. Because SIPs combine framing, insulation, and sheathing into one product, they significantly reduce construction time and labor costs.

In addition to their structural and thermal benefits, SIPs also improve indoor air quality and building envelope integrity by reducing air leakage. These panels meet or exceed most building codes and are widely recognized for their role in creating sustainable, energy-efficient buildings.
