Georgia Pacific

Georgia-Pacific Engineered Lumber is the right choice for floor and roof systems, as well as beams and headers.

GP engineered lumber products outperform conventional lumber in these applications, helping to ensure a solid floor system and maintain structural integrity. Lightweight and easy to handle, GP engineered lumber also helps to eliminate the need for supporting posts in basements, garages and bonus rooms. Superior performance at a reasonable install cost, GP engineered lumber offers the right solution for your next construction project.

FiberStrong® Rim Board completes the engineered lumber flooring system. Manufactured to match the depths of Wood I Floor joists, it serves as perimeter closure both parallel and perpendicular to floor joists and is used to transfer both vertical and lateral loads. When properly attached to ends of joists, FiberStrong® Rim Board helps to prevent rotation and provides perimeter nailing for floor sheathing. Because of its rectangular cross section, FiberStrong® rim board makes it easier and quicker to attach horizontal siding or ledgers for deck attachment.
