Engineered wood products (EWP)
acific Lumber & Truss is the exclusive
full-stocking dealer in Oregon and southwest Washington
for Roseburg Forest Products (RFP), one of the nation’s
leading suppliers of engineered wood products (EWP.)
EWP is
produced from quick growing fir and pine and it is processed
into strands that are oriented to maximize performance
characteristics. Engineered wood is essential in floors,
walls and roofs.
RFPI Joists weigh approximately less than half of conventional
framing lumber and are available in long lengths. This
accelerates construction time since it’s no longer necessary
to lap joists over bearing walls or support beams.
