Products for the 199Os and beyond

T HE engineered wood products presented in I a special feature in the following pages are impressive for a number of reasons. Not the least of these is how they fit into today's fevered world of environmental considerations.

A boasting point of engineered products is that they stretch the supply of wood from the forests and/or they can be manufactured from trees that were formerly considered "weed trees," unsuitable for anything other than firewood. Through the sophisticated use of chemicals and advanced manufacturing techniques, we now have products that in many applications can out perform nature's best. In some cases they are longer, stronger, lighter, stifferthe list goes on and on.

One major manufacturer, Louisiana-Pacific, even notes in its sales literature that "as we move into the 1990s, there's an even stronger reason to choose L-P Inner-Seal l-Beams. They use 500/o less wood than solid sawn lumber."

They go on to say that "with the increased pressures to conserve the old growth timber needed for the large solid sawn beams of the past," their products "are an environmentally sound and cost effective alternative for the future."

While builders and other customers have been slow to use engineered products in some markets, their resistance is being overcome by heightened marketing and education efforts. As builders have gained experience with these new products and become fully aware of their many and varied benehts, reluctance has quickly faded. Some have become enthusiastic users. touting them to others.

As the supply of wood diminishes, these resource-stretching products are likely to gain dramatically in market acceptance and use. They also provide an excellent case study for our industry to present to the public to prove that American lumber companies have indeed been wise stewards of America's forest resource.
