Beams - Capital Structures' beams
are specifically designed to outperform traditional solid wood
beams. The products are made from ultrasonically and visually
graded veneers, and patterned to prevent naturally occurring
defects from affecting the beams' performance. They are then
bonded together, under pressure and heat, with waterproof adhesives.
The process ensures that our products are exceptionally strong,
solid, and straight, making them excellent for most primary
load-carrying beam applications.
With Capital Structures beams, problems that naturally occur
as solid sawn lumber dries (twisting, splitting, checking, crowning,
and warping) are greatly reduced. Compared to wood milled directly
from trees, Capital Structures’ beams are available in
longer and thicker dimensions, yet they aren't made from old-growth
trees. Our beams have more load-carrying capacity than traditional
lumber. The end result is a more reliable, better-performing,
and more usable product.
I-Joists - Prefabricated
wood I-joists are made by gluing solid sawn lumber flanges
to a plywood or strandboard (OSB) panel web to produce a dimensionally
stable, light-weight member with known engineering properties.
The uniform stiffness, strength, and light weight of these
prefabricated structural products makes them well suited for
longer span joist and rafter applications for both residential
and commercial construction.
