FRAMING LUMBER
Spruce-Pine-Fir
SPF is one of the most common, cost effective and consistently reliable types of framing lumber in our region. It is strong, lightweight and easy to work. It holds nails well and has small knots. It is white to pale yellow in color. We stock a wide range of sizes up to 24' in length.
Select Structural Southern Yellow Pine
SYP is stiffer and stronger than standard SPF lumber, allowing it to span longer distances. For example from the span tables in the International Residential Code, a 2x10 joist (16" oc) of SPF spans 15'5", where as Southern Pine SS spans 17'0". This can make a significant difference if you are building a 16' addition. Refer to our span chart for more information.
Machine Stress Rated Lumber
MSR has been evaluated for strength and stiffness properties by a machine at the lumber mill. MSR lumber is consistently stronger, stiffer and more reliable than conventional lumber and often used to build Roof Trusses. We stock MSR in 2x4 and 2x6 sizes in lengths from 10’ to 16’. Since MSR is 40-60% stronger than conventional SPF framing, it can often be used as post in walls instead of LVL or Glulam Posts.
Treated Southern Yellow Pine #2 and Better
Treated Yellow Pine Is long lasting lumber that can tolerate outdoor conditions. Pressure treated with chemical preservatives, this lumber can withstand conditions that would rot conventional framing lumber. We carry a wide selection of treated pine sizes.
Fire Retardant Structural Yellow Pine (SYP)
Specifically treated to withstand fire, this lumber is most commonly used for commercial building.
BLUWOOD
Bluwood is the name given a family of wood frame building components with a proprietary factory applied, two-part coating technology. Bluwood wood framing components provide the building industry with a new level of defense for protection of above ground, covered structure wood framing components against the costly, damaging effects of mold fungus growth; rot fungi and wood ingesting insects; as well as limiting moisture absorption, a key necessary element for mold growth.
FRAMING PLYWOOD, SHEATHING, AND UNDERLAYMENT
