Construction and Materials
Perkins Home & Building Center offers a comprehensive selection of lumber and engineered wood products designed for a wide range of construction applications. Their inventory includes dimension lumber, essential for framing and structural components, as well as various engineered wood solutions that provide enhanced strength, stability, and design flexibility.
Engineered Wood Products
The engineered wood offerings from Perkins Home & Building Center are designed to meet the demands of modern construction, providing superior performance compared to traditional solid lumber in many applications. These products are manufactured using advanced techniques that utilize wood strands, veneers, or particles, bound together with adhesives.
I-Joists
- Construction: I-joists, also known as engineered joists, feature an I-shaped cross-section. They typically consist of a top and bottom flange made from solid lumber or laminated veneer lumber (LVL), connected by a vertical web made from oriented strand board (OSB) or plywood. This construction creates a strong and lightweight structural element.
- Materials: Flanges are commonly made from kiln-dried lumber like Douglas Fir or Southern Yellow Pine, or from LVL. Webs are typically constructed from high-quality OSB or plywood, ensuring structural integrity and resistance to warping.
Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL)
- Construction: LVL is an engineered wood product made by bonding together multiple thin wood veneers using a durable adhesive. The veneers are typically oriented parallel to the length of the product, resulting in a strong and consistent material.
- Materials: LVL is composed of hardwood or softwood veneers, such as Douglas Fir, Larch, or Southern Yellow Pine, saturated with a resin binder and formed under heat and pressure.
Rimboard
- Construction: Rimboard is used to create a structural perimeter around the edges of floor or roof joist systems. It is typically installed perpendicular to the joists, capping the ends.
- Materials: Rimboard can be manufactured from a variety of materials, including OSB, plywood, or LVL, ensuring dimensional stability and load-bearing capacity.
Other Wood Products
Beyond engineered solutions, Perkins Home & Building Center also stocks a variety of traditional and sheet goods.
Dimension Lumber
- Construction: Dimension lumber refers to sawn pieces of wood used for structural framing, such as wall studs, ceiling joists, and rafters. It is typically sold in standard nominal sizes like 2x4, 2x6, etc.
- Materials: Common species include Southern Yellow Pine, Douglas Fir, Spruce-Pine-Fir (SPF), and Hemlock. The lumber is kiln-dried to reduce moisture content, improving stability and strength.
Decking
- Construction: Decking boards are designed for outdoor surfaces like patios and decks. They are typically installed over a joist system and are exposed to weather elements.
- Materials: Materials can include pressure-treated lumber for durability and resistance to rot and insects, as well as hardwoods like cedar or redwood, known for their natural beauty and resistance. Composite decking options may also be available.
Oriented Strand Board (OSB)
- Construction: OSB is a panel product manufactured by layering wood strands that are oriented in specific directions and bonded with adhesives. It is commonly used for sheathing walls, roofs, and floors.
- Materials: OSB is made from a mixture of wood species, typically hardwoods and softwoods, cut into uniform strands. These strands are then mixed with waterproof resins and formed into large mats under heat and pressure.
Plywood
- Construction: Plywood is a panel product made by cross-layering thin sheets of wood veneer. The grain of adjacent layers is rotated by 90 degrees, creating a strong and stable sheet. Plywood is used for sheathing, subflooring, and in various other construction applications.
- Materials: Plywood is typically made from softwood species like Douglas Fir, Southern Yellow Pine, or Spruce. The veneers are glued together with durable adhesives, creating a strong bond. Different grades and types of plywood are available depending on the intended use.
