Construction and Materials
Boise Cascade offers a range of engineered wood products, primarily focusing on structural panels such as plywood and sheathing. These materials are essential components in residential and commercial construction, providing foundational support and structural integrity.
The construction of Boise Cascade's plywood products typically involves layering thin veneers of wood. These veneers are rotary peeled from logs, then dried and sorted. Each layer, or ply, is oriented perpendicular to the grain of the adjacent layers. This cross-laminated construction is what gives plywood its exceptional strength and stability, allowing it to resist warping, shrinking, and swelling.
The veneers are bonded together using waterproof adhesives under heat and pressure. The type of adhesive used is critical for the product's performance, especially in exterior applications or where moisture exposure is a concern. Boise Cascade utilizes high-quality resins to ensure a durable bond that can withstand various environmental conditions.
Materials used in Boise Cascade's plywood products include:
- Wood Veneers: Sourced from high-quality timber, these thin sheets form the core of the plywood panel. Common wood species used for plywood include Douglas Fir, Southern Pine, and Spruce, depending on the product grade and intended application.
- Adhesives: These are crucial for bonding the wood veneers together. Boise Cascade employs advanced adhesive systems, often including phenolic or urea-formaldehyde resins, to ensure structural integrity and moisture resistance.
Boise Cascade also offers sanded plywood. This product undergoes an additional step in its manufacturing process where the surface of the plywood is sanded smooth. This creates a superior finish, making it ideal for applications where appearance is important or where a smooth surface is required for subsequent finishing treatments like painting or staining.
The structural panels, including plywood and sheathing, are designed to meet stringent building codes and industry standards. They are engineered for consistent performance, providing reliable load-bearing capacity and dimensional stability for framing, subflooring, roofing, and wall sheathing applications.

Product Summary
Here at Stone Truss, we do one thing, and one thing only: design and build the best wood trusses in our area. For more than 30 years, we’ve worked hard to earn our reputation for being the provider of choice for wood, roof, and floor trusses in Southern California for residential and light commercial construction..
We don’t try to do everything. We focus on doing one thing exceptionally well: engineering and manufacturing structural truss systems that builders can trust without hesitation. From custom homes to production builds, our trusses are designed for structural accuracy, efficient installation, and long-term performance.
Construction and Materials
Stone Truss Co. specializes in the design and fabrication of engineered wood trusses. These structural components are essential for roof and floor framing in a wide variety of building applications, from residential homes to commercial structures.
The primary materials used in the construction of Stone Truss Co. products are:
- Lumber: High-quality, kiln-dried dimensional lumber forms the basic framework of the trusses. The specific species and grade of lumber are selected based on structural requirements and local building codes.
- Metal Connector Plates: These plates, typically made from galvanized steel, are crucial for joining the individual lumber members together at their designed angles. The plates are pressed into the wood under high pressure, creating strong and durable connections.
- Nails and Fasteners: Specialized nails or other approved fasteners are used in conjunction with the connector plates to ensure a secure and reliable bond between the lumber and the plates.
The construction process involves precision engineering and manufacturing:
- Design: Each truss is designed by experienced engineers using specialized software to meet specific load requirements, span lengths, and site-specific conditions.
- Cutting: Lumber is precisely cut to size based on the engineering designs.
- Assembly: The cut lumber members are laid out on jigs and assembled according to the design.
- Plating: Metal connector plates are applied to the joints and pressed into the wood using hydraulic presses. This process ensures consistent and strong connections.
- Quality Control: Throughout the manufacturing process, stringent quality control measures are in place to verify dimensions, material integrity, and connection strength.
Stone Truss Co. products are designed for optimal performance, offering benefits such as:
- Structural Integrity: Engineered for specific loads, ensuring stability and safety.
- Efficiency: Pre-fabricated off-site, reducing on-site labor and construction time.
