Distributed exclusively by BlueLinx, Georgia-Pacific engineered lumber is the right choice for floor and roof systems, as well as beams and headers. Today’s residential building trends include large, open spaces and high ceilings – creating a demand for products that provide higher strength and greater stability over longer spans. 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.

Lightweight and cost effective, WI (Lumber Flanges) and GPI (LVL Flanges) Series Wood I Beam joists are the builder’s choice for residential floor and roof systems. Plus GP manufactures deeper depth joists for larger projects and commercial applications. A wide selection of sizes and flange choices make it easy to specify the materials that are right for the homes you build, whether you’re building smaller tract homes or custom plans. Additionally, most plumbing, ductwork, and wires can pass through the web of Wood I Beam joists, so you can maximize ceiling heights.

GP Lam LVL is used as primary support beams in floor, roof and wall structures. This high-grade engineered lumber product is ideally suited for floor systems configured with Georgia-Pacific Wood I Beam joists as well as other I-joists of the same height. 2.0E GP Lam provides superior strength over long spans and reduces the need for support posts and features FiberGuard sealant to provide short-term protection from moisture damage during the construction cycle that can cause splits, cupping and warping.

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
