INNER.SEAI I.BEAIUIS COIhBINE l.P IECHNO1OGY AND INNOUAIIOJI.

In the 1980s, LP created a new line of oriented strand board strucfural panels, called Inner-Seal OSB, that revolutionized the wood products industry. As the world's most experienced producer of OSB panels, and as a leading pro ducer of lumber, itwas natural to combine the two to produce a shucfu rally engineered I-Beam.

THE L-P DIFFERENCE

The real difference in InnerSeal I-Beams is the web. made of rigid, flat, dimensionally stable and uniformly strong custom Inner-Seal OSB panels. Multi-layered solid wood forms of ideal length, width and thickness are coated with L-P's exclusive binder. then bonded together under exkeme heat and pressure, creating the APA@ exposure 1 performance rated panel that forms the web of our I-Beams.

By using a 16 foot long InnerSeal web member, instead of the 4 to 8 foot lengths used by the competition, Inner-Seal I-Beams have onefourth to one-half fewer web to web joints. Since this joint is generally the weakest part of any I-Beam, the Inner-Seal I-Beam is a strucfurally skonger, more reliable product.

l,ouisiana-Pacifi c's I-Beam flanges are made withkilndried, solid sawn, machine stress-rated lumber, structurally tested to insure strength. Solid sawn flange material is flnger-jointed with an exterior grade resorcinol adhesive, then cut to length. We use 2x4 and 2x3 solid flange material, for a wider nailing surface.

And both flange-web and web-web joints use a two component, exterior grade phenolresorcinol adhesive which meets requirements of ASTM D-2559-84 and ANSI A-190. l,ouisiana-Pacifi c's Inner-Sea] I-Beams are clean, and virfually free of glue stains and spatters. They provide the quality and solid reliability you expect from an L-P product.

Designed For Performance

Our I-Beam design combines the tensile properties of the flange material with the shear skength of the web material, to create a beam that's lighter, stiffer, and sfonger than comparable sizes of solid sarn beams

Inner-Seal I-Beams are strongerthan solid sawn beams of the same depth, so you get more load-bearing capacity per pound with fewer pieces to install. They can be used in longer spans without support beams, for larger, more open designs. And theirlighter weight makes them easy to handle, reducing both construction costs and time.

Louisiana-Pacifi c's Inner-Seal I-Beams are ideal for use as floor joists, or roof trusses. They may also be used for special applications, such as cantilever beams in balcony design, cathedral ceilings, Ligh pitched roof trusses, and for expanding conventionally framed construction. Ductwork and wiring holes can be cut through the webs, allowing for even greater design flexibility.

Inner-Seal l-Beams are available in lengths up to 64 feet and depths of 9l/2t1, LL7 /8tt,14rr, and 16rr.

AN INTELLIGENT CHOICE FORTHE 90s

Inner-Seal I-Beams have several advantages over conventional trusses - more skength with less weight, better stability, and long length capabilities. And as we move into the 1990s. there's an even stronger reason to choose Inner-Seal I-Beams. They use 50 percent less wood than solid sawn lumber. With the increased pressures to conserve the old growth timber needed for the large solid sawn beams of the past, Louisiana-Pacifi c's Inner-Seal l-Beams are an environmentally sound and co st-effective alternative for the future.
