An all-aluminum residential light fixture -built to "last a lifetime"-was recently introduced to the building industry by Dellectra Products.

Vertically Laminated Beams

The beams ofrer strength and economy benefits. Board foot for board foot, vertical laminating gives high structured efliciency because the normal milling loss is a smaller part of a boards width than of its thickness. Because of this, a vertically laminated member is deeper and narrower than a horizontally laminated beam of the same nominal size. This makes the vertieally laminated piece stifrer and stronger.

Because of its pleasing rustic appearance, rough sawn panels are gaining acceptance for interior installation in restaurants, public building offices, even homes.
