Proper installation of products plays an important role in the durability and structural integrity of a structure. Design values and performance of Red-I™ joists, RedLam™ LVL beams, and RedBuilt™ open-web trusses assume that products are untreated and used in standard temperature ranges and dry conditions. See Environmental and Treatment Limitations.

The integrity of the structure can be seriously impaired if a damaged product is installed. Do not attempt to install or repair any damaged product. Contact your RedBuilt™ representative if any damage is noted. Questions or problems? Call Technical Support.
