RedBuilt™ offers a complete engineered wood products package including I-joists, LVL and rim board. By combining more efficient use of our nation's vast resources with predictable, pre-engineered performance, engineered wood products have taken the guesswork out of product selection.
Red-I™ Joists: The dimensional stability of Red-I™ joists helps them resist the warping, twisting, and shrinking that can lead to squeaky floors. Red-I™ joists are strong yet lightweight and come in lengths up to 80 feet, giving you extraordinary design freedom. Because they're faster and easier to install than traditional framing, you save on labor.
The Red-I™ joist series has grown to include a wide range of sizes and depths in lengths up to 80 feet. Red-I™ joists are manufactured using high-quality, engineered wood -- including LVL flanges and an OSB web. In addition to the standard parallel flange configuration, some series are available with tapered profiles for added design flexibility. Camber is also available in some series, upon request.

RedBuilt™ Open-Web Trusses: Our trusses provide architectural freedom for commercial and light-industrial applications. Designed and built specifically for each job, they create efficient and economical floor and roof solutions. Open-web trusses give you the advantages of wood and steel -- their high strength-to-weight ratio and long-span capabilities free you to design and build large open spaces of over 100 feet wide.
RedBuilt™ founders invented the innovative composite steel and engineered wood open-web truss over forty years ago. Since its introduction in 1960, the open-web truss has become one of the most widely used engineered wood building products in commercial construction. Open-web trusses are lightweight, easy to install, have nailable chords for easy attachment of roof decking and ceiling materials, and allow for easy passage of ducts or conduit.
Pound for pound, RedBuilt™ Open-Web trusses are among the strongest structural members produced. They are the solution of choice for special projects with exceptionally long spans, as well as for typical, light commercial applications.
Every open-web truss is custom manufactured to the precise specifications of the individual job to carry the load for which it was designed. The added versatility of numerous truss configurations -- pitched, scissors, barrel, bowstring -- creates opportunities for innovative, economical designs with more pleasing aesthetics. Questions?
To produce RedLam™ Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL), sheets of veneer peeled from logs are carefully dried, ultrasonically graded for strength, and evaluated to ensure uniform thickness and moisture content. The sheets are coated with adhesive, layered and subjected to heat and pressure to achieve a permanent bond. This process minimizes many of the natural inconsistencies found in wood, such as knots, splits and wane. The result is an engineered wood product that can support heavy loads and can be precision-cut for a variety of applications including wood beams, headers and Red-I™ joist flanges.
RedLam™ LVL beams work well in applications all over the structure. They can easily be built-up on site to cut down on the heavy lifting associated with beams. No matter where they're used, they install quickly with little or no waste. Engineered RedLam™ LVL is very stable and resists warping, splitting and shrinking. Questions?
