iLevel™ Trus Joist® TimberStrand® Laminated Strand Lumber (LSL) Wall Framing

sponsored by iLevel by Weyerhaeuser

A home built today looks different from homes built even a decade ago. Today’s designs push the limits of engineering and the capabilities of traditional building materials. iLevel products can help your home have tall, dramatic walls filled with windows and a floor plan with huge open spaces.

A perfect example of these highly engineered materials is TimberStrand LSL. Wall framing solutions made from TimberStrand LSL are straight, free of knots and resist twisting, shrinking and bowing after installation. This helps cut down on callbacks due to sheetrock cracks. TimberStrand LSL framing also helps cabinets and countertops install flush without the hassles of shimming. The flat, stable surface they provide for tile installations reduces the chance of tile and grout cracking.

TimberStrand LSL is also an excellent environmental choice. The technology we use allows us to engineer high-performance lumber from logs that are not large, strong or straight enough to be of structural value. The trees we use are fast growing species such as aspen or yellow poplar.

Encourage your builder to use TimberStrand LSL in your home. Not only will they be impressed with your knowledge; you’ll be getting a better home.

Product Features:

Studs start straight and stay straight providing smooth, flat walls.
Ideal for framing wall “zones” that must be straight and true, such as kitchens, baths, tall walls and foyers.
TimberStrand LSL comes in long lengths, up to 30’, making it ideal for tall walls in foyers and great rooms.
TimberStrand LSL is one of few framing materials available that comes with a performance warranty.

iLevel products are warranted to be free of manufacturing errors or defects in workmanship and material. Provided products are correctly installed and used, the adequacy of its design for the normal and expected life of the building is also warranted.
