Despite the fact that stained glass as an art has existed for 1,000 years, it’s not every day that someone brings a piece in to be framed.

With lumber like this, framing goes up fast, crews won’t spend valuable time culling, and there’s less material waste when the job is done. Each piece of Framer Series lumber with WarpStableTM technology predicts with 95% confidence which boards will remain stable after being dried below 7% MC. It maintains a stability that is defined by the American Lumber Standards to within the #1 grade limit for bow, twist or crook. Each board is mechanically graded and WHY MAKE THE SWITCH TO FRAMER SERIES LUMBER? the crown is marked. Framer Series lumber is performance tested to meet specific strength and density requirements. Because it's more stable than commodity boards, Framer Series lumber is ideal for any non-exposed application—even those where vertical-use-only products aren’t allowed. That gives crews more flexibility at the job Here’s why— site and helps reduce the potential for red tags. • Limited product warranty Only Weyerhaeuser Framer Series lumber offers so many benefits: • Crown edge clearly marked for fast installation • Limited warranty against warping • Performs more consistently • Floors, walls, and ceilings stay flat and even than ordinary lumber • Fewer callbacks to repair drywall cracks • Helps ensure smooth, flat • Crown edge clearly marked on each board to aid typical field practice of aligning finished surfaces crowns in the framing (a double arrow indicates an undetectable crown edge).

  • Innovative Framing Technologies Save Time and Money
    INNOVATIVE FRAMING TECHNOLOGIES SAVE TIME AND MONEY CONSTRUCT A BETTER PERFORMING HOME BY USING ENGINEERED WOOD PRODUCTS IN CRITICAL AREAS Framing is the hidden backbone of residential construction: defining the space, supporting the load, and providing the structural stability every house depends on. Tradi- tionally, this has meant heavy beams made from sawn lumber: strong but variable, subject to warping and shrinking. But an exciting revolution has been taking place, where engineered wood products combine wood’s natural strength, beauty, and versatility with precision engineering for stronger, more consistent, and more stable residential framing. Today’s wood-product technologies deliver strong, straight, and reliable framing components for builders. Products that exhibit consistent moisture content, fit precisely, and stay stable and true for a very long time. Armed with a powerful array of these framing components, savvy designers and builders are delivering high-performance homes that live up to the demands of modern residential customers, because they’re anchored by efficient framing technologies from top to bottom. INSIDE THE Wood is by nature a variable material, with knotholes, twisting, and ENGINEERED wane that varies from board to board. That variability makes for WOOD beautiful coffee tables...but in floor joists, inconsistency is the enemy. PRODUCT Framers want strength they can rely on, and beams that stay straight REVOLUTION and true every single time. To achieve that ideal, engineered wood products (EWP) are manufac- tured for specific performance characteristics important to homebuilders, including strength, stiffness, and consistency. EWP manufacturers begin by breaking logs down into smaller, more controllable components—strands and veneers that can be reassembled in innovative ways, delivering strength and stability.

Recent commercial and multi-family construction hurdles related to issues with building framing schemes will be reviewed through case studies and lessons learned. Best practices that builders can employ to avoid similar issues on their own projects will be discussed, and the audience will be asked to participate and apply practices reviewed during the session. Attendees will leave prepared with design strategies to produce high-performing structures and methodologies that can be considered and applied in construction immediately.

As well, opportunities and challenges to the expansion of more utilization of wood products in Hawai‘i, and the priority steps needed to overcome challenges or enhance opportunities is presented. This Hawai‘i Wood Utilization Study was conducted in October 2017, with this final report issued November 19, 2017. In conducting the research, it was clear that in other states, development of the use of wood products is not seen as a diverse effort. Every state researched appeared to focus increased marketing efforts for more wood utilization to a particular use or a particular species. California for example, focuses on plywood for general wood utilization, and redwood for species promotion. Similarly, Oregon focuses on Douglas Fir wood studs to compete against steel studs citing lower costs and comparable structural strength for the usage. Maine focuses on pulp from soft pines for pulp and
