  • Residential I-Joist & LVL Installation Guide
    Engineered Wood Products Wood—the miracle material. Wood is the right choice for a host of construction applications. It is the earth’s natural, energy efficient and renewable building material. Engineered wood is a better use of wood. The miracle in today’s wood products is that they make more efficient use of the wood fiber resource to make stronger plywood, oriented strand board, I-joists, glued laminated timbers and laminated veneer lumber. That’s good for the environment and good for designers seeking strong, efficient and striking building design. A few facts about wood. We’re growing more wood every day. Forests fully cover one-third of the United States’ and one-half of Canada’s land mass. Residential I-Joist & LVL American landowners plant more than two billion trees every year. In addition, millions of trees seed naturally. The forest products industry, which comprises about 15 percent of forestland ownership, is INSTALLATION responsible for 41 percent of replanted forest acreage. That works out to more than one billion trees a year, or about three million trees planted every day. This high rate of replanting accounts for the fact that each year, 27 percent more timber is grown than is harvested. Canada’s replanting record shows a fourfold increase in the number of trees planted between 1975 and 1990. GUIDE Life Cycle Assessment shows wood is the greenest building product. A 2004 CORRIM study gave scientific validation to the strength of wood as a green building product. In examining building products’ life cycles—from extraction of the raw material to demolition of the building at the end of its long lifespan—CORRIM found that wood was better for the environment than steel or concrete in terms of embodied energy, global warming potential, air emissions, water emissions, and solid waste production.
