Construction and Materials
Roseburg offers a range of engineered wood products, including I-Joists, Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL), and Rimboard. These products are designed to provide superior performance and stability in construction applications.
Roseburg I-Joists
Roseburg I-Joists are engineered wood structural members designed for floors, ceilings, and roofs. They are constructed with:
- Flanges: Typically made from solid sawn lumber or Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL).
- Webs: Typically made from structural quality wood strands or plywood.
- Adhesives: High-strength adhesives are used to bond the flanges and webs together, creating a strong and stable structural element.
The I-joist design offers a favorable strength-to-weight ratio, allowing for longer spans and reducing the need for interior support walls. This can lead to more open floor plans and design flexibility.
Roseburg Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL)
Roseburg LVL is an engineered wood structural product that uses multiple layers of thin wood veneer, laid up with parallel grain, and bonded with adhesives under heat and pressure. This process creates a strong and consistent material used for:
- Beams: Providing support for roofs, floors, and walls.
- Headers: Spanning openings such as doors and windows.
- Columns: Acting as vertical supports.
- Rimboards: Used around the perimeter of floor systems.
The manufacturing process of LVL results in a material that is stronger, straighter, and more uniform than traditional solid lumber. It is less prone to warping, twisting, or splitting.
Roseburg Rimboard
Roseburg Rimboard is an engineered wood product specifically designed for use as a structural component in floor framing. It is typically manufactured from:
- Engineered Wood Strands or Veneers: Similar to other engineered wood products, rimboard is constructed from wood materials that are bonded together.
- Adhesives: Durable adhesives are used to ensure the integrity and strength of the rimboard.
Rimboard is installed around the perimeter of floor joists, tying the joists together and providing a bearing surface for the ends of the joists. It contributes to the overall stability and rigidity of the floor system, preventing lateral movement and enhancing load distribution.
