Applications:

In the traditional milling of construction lumber, the wood fiber on the outermost edges of the log is often wasted or used in lesser-grade wood products. However, Trus Joist's award-winning Parallam® parallel strand lumber (PSL) takes advantage of these fibers and the unique and appealing appearance of Parallam® PSL lends itself to dramatic interior exposed beams and columns.

Applications:

Columns and Posts

Parallam® PSL columns and posts are unsurpassed for strength and consistency.

Exposed Applications

CCA pressure-treated Parallam® PSL posts, beams and columns are ideal for any project where there is potential for exposure to the elements or contact with moisture. Applications include decks, balconies, carports, or anywhere columns or posts come in direct contact with the foundation.

Headers and Beams

The outstanding strength and long lengths of Parallam® PSL makes it the choice of builders looking for a cost-efficient, attractive and workable solution to glulam beams and structural steel.
