Industry Affiliations Our staff stays actively involved with professional organizations. These affiliations allow us to stay informed about cutting edge building practices and products. We are members of the Timber Framers Guild of North America, and the Timber Framers Business Council. We were founding members of the Structural Insulated Panel Association. Quality Control Our manufacturing plant receives quarterly unannounced inspections from a certified 3rd party quality control company called RADCO. For more information about this process, visit www.radcoinc.com. Our Panels also undergo structural testing at the University of Maine’s Advanced Engineering Wood Composite Center. 1 SPE ci AL I ZED SERV ic ES Foard Panel offers a wide variety of specialized services for all levels of customers. Some of our customers specify and design for their own materials. Other customers may ask us for help designing and specifying for their project. We can pre–cut your panels to make installation easier for you, or we can come to your site and install the panels for you. Mix and match our services to meet your needs. Manufacturing to Your Order If you already know what materials you need, just give a call with your lengths and quantities and we will price it for you. Our quotes are always free and quick. When your quote turns into an order, expect top notch technical support and on-time delivery. Designing Your Enclosure When you don’t know exactly what you need, our design staff can assist you in determining which of our products will work best for your project. We can provide you with CAD plans of your building. These plans are used to minimize panel waste and therefore reduce overall project costs. Fees for this service are priced on a project-to- project basis. Precise Pre-Cuts With adequate planning and accurate drawings, we can pre–cut your panels prior to delivery. Pre–cutting your panels for your project increases the speed of installation and reduces job site waste. We offer two choices. Our standard pre–cut option allows for some of the cutting to be done in our shop and some in the field. Panels are cut to length, miters on eave wall panels are cut, ridge cuts and many routing details are included. Fees for this service are bid per job. Our standard pre–cut is less expensive than a full pre–cut and sometimes can be the better choice for the job. Our full pre–cut option allows for all panels to be cut and routed in the shop. This even includes window and door rough openings. Fees for this service are also bid per job. We find this service to be a greater advantage for projects constructed in more challenging job sites such as ocean front or space restricted areas. Installation Options Foard Panel can provide you with a full installation or we can provide the technical assistance you might need to install our panels yourself. (see page 19 for more installation options). Deliveries on Self-Unloading Trucks With Foard Panel’s self unloading trucks you won’t need to worry about scheduling other equipment to coincide with your delivery. “Foard Panel’s standard pre-cut service saves us time in the field and cuts down on a lot of excess waste & mess.” —Mike Gilley, Timberframer 2 FOARD PANEL PRODU ct S panel configurations and application materials Foard Panels are available with either an expanded or extruded polystyrene core. Choosing the core material as well as the panel type, thickness and R–value depends on your specific design. Our expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam core offers a lower cost per inch of thickness and in many projects is the best choice. Our extruded polystyrene (XPS) foam core offers a higher R–value per inch of thickness which may allow for the use of a thinner panel and creates a better vapor barrier. When determining the thickness of panels, there are two factors to consider, R–value and load capacities. Thicker panels have higher R–values. Higher R–values are better; however at some point the cost of more “R” does not provide increased return on investment. Our project managers will work with your general contractor and timber framer in order to select the most cost effective materials for your project. (for more information on load capacities see page 4, for more information on R–value see page 17) Application Materials Foard Panel project managers calculate the quantities of application materials that are needed to complete your project. Application materials distributed by Foard Panel are: Foam Sealant: Foard Panel sells two types of foam 1) “handi” foam with disposable nozzles and 2) “gun foam” with reusable dispensers. Panel Fasteners: Foard Panel offers Headlock screws or galvanized rink shank nails for panel installation. Plywood Splines: We use 5/8", 5–ply CDX plywood to make our splines. Splines are used at panel to panel connections. Blueboard: Foard Panel uses “blueboard” for all drywall applications. Unlike most construction, drywall is often exposed to the elements during panel construction. Blueboard has a special paper surface that is designed to handle a lot of water and holds up to weather better than other types of drywall. Blueboard can be skim–coated, have a plaster veneer applied over it, or simply be painted. Many of our jobs call for pre–applied blueboard on the walls. This means that the blueboard will be hung on the frame independently of structural panels. The blueboard is applied horizontally while the panels are applied vertically. This system is preferred by many builders because it keeps the drywall seams horizontal for easier mudding and also keeps these seams from aligning with panel joints. The offset seams are stronger and less likely to crack as frames dry to normal moisture content levels. note: Blueboard should never be applied independent of the panels on roofs. Wood Decking: Foard Panel can supply the wood decking for your job. Please let us know if we can help you with pricing and availability. 3 FOARD PANEL PRODU ct S panel configurations and application materials Out-gassing Foard Panel products do not “out-gas” or lose R-value over time. Our customers can choose between EPS (expanded polystyrene) and XPS (extruded polystyrene). Our polystyrene foam cores, that give our panels their exceptional insulation qualities, are stable, inert materials. EPS is blown with an agent that contains no CFC or HCFC ozone depleting gasses and is formaldehyde free. XPS, which is blown with HCFC, contains no CFC or formaldehyde. Minute amounts of HCFC may linger in XPS foam for a short period but are typically no longer present when processed at our facility. OSB (oriented strand board) is an APA, or TECO, stamped, Exposure 1 rated material. OSB does emit minute amounts of phenol formaldehyde.

Artwork that is seen less often can test a framer’s nerves since the particular needs and framing methods of that type of art might not come readily to mind.

Historically a handcrafted skill of mortise and tenon joinery, heavy timber construction has been modernized by tools such as CNC machines, high- strength engineered wood products, and mass-production techniques. A growing environmental awareness that recognizes wood as the only renewable and sustainable structural building material is also invigorating this type of construction. Heavy timbers are differentiated from dimensional lumber by having minimum dimensions required by the building code. Modern versions include sawn stress-grade lumber, timber tongue and groove decking, glued-laminated timber (glulam), parallel strand lumber (PSL), laminated veneer lumber (LVL) and cross laminated timber (CLT). Structural laminated products can be used as solid walls, floors and columns to construct an entire building. Modern heavy timber construction contributes to the appeal, comfort, structural durability and longevity of schools, churches, large-span recreation centers, mid-rise/multi-family housing and supermarkets, among many other buildings.

    #LB-4020 SPECIFIER’S GUIDE WEYERHAEUSER FRAMER SERIES® LUMBER WITH WARPSTABLETM TECHNOLOGY Structural Framing Lumber with Predictable Performance • Computerized grading virtually eliminates warp • Comes with crown edge clearly marked • Eliminates field culling • Treated with a mold inhibitor • More stable and consistent than ordinary lumber • Limited product warranty STRAIGHT TALK ABOUT FRAMER SERIESTM LUMBER Framer Series lumber is mechanically graded to virtually eliminate warping, and each board comes with the crown clearly marked to speed up installation. 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.
