BENEFITS OF BOISE CASCADE®
ENGINEERED WOOD PRODUCTS
There are many benefits of Boise Cascade® engineered wood products when compared to traditional lumber. Here are some of the reasons Northern Building Supply recommends their engineered building materials over traditional lumber:
RELIABILITY
Boise Cascade® engineered wood products are produced in a controlled factory setting, which makes them much more reliable than other standard wood products. Engineered wood boards and OSB are made up of wood particles that are bonded together, usually using extreme heat and pressure, resulting in little moisture left when the product is finished – ensuring high strength and minimal shrinking. This manufacturing process makes Boise’s engineered wood extremely reliable, no matter what the application.
VERSATILITY
The engineered wood products from Boise Cascade® are manufactured to suit various conditions and building situations, including roof, floor, and wall sheathing. Every product features outstanding strength, fire protection, and moisture resistance.
EFFICIENCY
Engineered wood is easy to install and each of Boise’s engineered wood products is precisely cut to match each of the depths of their other products, lessening the work of builders in the field and resulting in easily-installed flat surfaces. Plus, since engineered wood products are remarkably lighter than traditional lumber, installation requires fewer hands, which saves you money.
DURABILITY
Engineered wood products feature all the durability benefits of real wood, with the addition of waterproof adhesives. These adhesives add an extra layer of durability, decreasing the risk of cracking, bending, warping, etc. And since engineered wood is manufactured in a factory with high test requirements, there’s very little potential for the material flaws that occur naturally in traditional lumber.
SUSTAINABILITY
The team at Boise Cascade® is dedicated to managing its operations’ environmental footprint. They rely on forests for timber to make their wood products and are committed to managing forests so that there will be an abundance of healthy, diverse forests in the future. They utilize loggers who comply with state and provincial laws to protect conservation values, maintain water quality, and conserve wildlife habitats.
