Noyolams have been used as posts and vertical and lateral supporting members.

Ihe most important advantages of the Noyolam beams are perhaps those inherent to the redwood species itself.

The Noyolam beams are constructed under the grading specifications of the Redwood Inspection Service. An independent inspection agency, Timber Engineering Company, certifies standards of quality.

Union packages its Noyolam beams in polyethelene wrap with special corner guards, a step to protect against weather or handling damage during transit to storage. Moreover, the waterproof wrap serves on the job site as a safeguard during construction, thus the builder protects the redwood finish.
