Kuiken Brothers is now stocking Boise Cascade VERSA-STUD Engineered Studs (laminated veneer lumber). VERSA-STUD’s are strong and straight as an arrow, extremely important when framing:

  • Tall Walls
  • Kitchen Cabinet Walls
  • Curved Walls
  • Window or Entrance Door Walls
  • Stairwells
  • Long Hallways
  • Tiled Walls

While VERSA-STUD does cost more than dimension lumber, you’ll make it up in fewer framing hours and flat, plumb walls that finish faster. Plus, it offers 2 times more bending strength than douglas fir studs with none of the checks, cracks and warps that can plague dimension lumber.

While we don’t anticipate installers to build an entire home out of engineered studs, it should be considered for certain areas of the home, otherwise known as zone framing. Ensuring that you are setting up your finish carpenter with a square and level ceiling from the beginning will save significant amount of time for intricate coffered ceilings such as the one below.
