Website: wun u.coxwood.com effectiveness is the latest \-tbuzzword for engineered wood products. Willamette Industries and Louisiana-Pacific have become just the latest EWP producers to introduce more economical I-joist products.
"I-joist use has grown significantly," said Willamette Industries' Larry Foley, who has been selling engineered wood for nearly 30 years. "They had been primarily for custom homes, but now they're becoming common for tract and entry level home construction. So, we've been asked by our suppliers and their customers to develop a more cost effective joist for shorter spans."

The result was the SJ- 120 StrucJoist, which features a new ll12" wide flange configuration in depths of 9-112" and ll-7 /8" According to Mike Hunsaker, general sales manager for engineered wood, "For years, Willamette has offered the most extensive engineered wood product line in the industry, and the creation of the SJ-120 reinforces our commitment to delivering high quality products that meet the construction needs of our customers."
