Whether you're a professional builder, contractor, or a homeowner embarking on a DIY project, we're your one-stop shop for all your engineered lumber column needs.
Understanding Engineered Lumber Columns: Unlike traditional solid wood columns, engineered lumber columns are manufactured by bonding smaller wood pieces, like veneers or strands, with adhesives and heat. This process creates a stronger, more consistent, and dimensionally stable product compared to natural timber. Here are some common types:
- Parallam PSL (Parallel Strand Lumber): Made from long, thin wood strands glued together, offering high strength and capacity, ideal for long spans and heavy loads.
- Glulam (Glued Laminated Timber): Layers of lumber glued perpendicularly, resulting in long, versatile beams and columns, perfect for larger structures.
- LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber): Similar to plywood construction, layers of thin wood veneers glued with the grain running parallel, providing good strength and dimensional stability, well-suited for renovations and additions.
Applications:
Engineered wood columns excel in various construction applications, making them a versatile choice for your next project:
- Supporting beams and floors: Their high strength allows them to carry heavy loads over long spans, making them ideal for open floor plans, large rooms, and heavier structures.
- Columns and posts: Offering a visually appealing alternative to solid wood, they provide structural support for porches, decks, and other features, adding a touch of elegance to your design.
- Headers over doorways and windows: They offer superior strength and stability compared to traditional lumber headers, enabling wider openings and more expansive designs.
- Renovations and additions: Their dimensional stability makes them suitable for integrating seamlessly into existing structures, simplifying your project.
