You've probably heard enough noise about quiet floors to make your ears ring. Fact is, today's engineered wood products make a quiet floor about as unique as a house with indoor plumbing. At Willamette, we have a lot more to offer than just silence, and we're going to make some noise about it.

For starters, let's talk about quality. Willamette gives builders a fully integrated package of engineered wood products to work with. We have StrucJoist@ l-joists and E-Z Rim' boards, which work together providing superior design criteria and dimensional stability needed to make ouiet floors. Our Glulams and StrucLamo LVL are available for the heavy loads and long spans needed in today's large open-area designs. We rigorously check quality to ensure our products will be defect-free and we back that up with a written guarantee.

Next there are the benefits of stable supply. Since we own and manage 1.8 million acres of forest, we are our own supply line, 1OO% ol the time. That enables our distributors to consistently provide unmatched breadth and depth of stock, as well as stable pricing.

When it comes to service we have even more to shout about'

We've orovided our authorized distributors and retailers with everything they need, so you'll get service options tailored to meet your individual needs.

You know there's more to consider than just squeaky floors. With Willamette Engineered Wood Products, you're guaranteed selection, service, support and a stable supply. lf you're a builder who demands quality, that should sound pretty good.
