R-17* Insulated Structural Headers
This one-piece header for 2x6 wall framing combines 31⁄2" Weyerhaeuser Trus Joist® TimberStrand® LSL, 11⁄2" high R-value insulation, and a 7⁄16" OSB face. Our unique design, using 31⁄2" TimberStrand LSL, allows for a direct load path. A typical sandwich header requires additional calculations to ensure proper sizing and load transfer. The OSB face makes drywall attachment fast and easy.
R-10* Insulated Rim Board
Reduce the time and materials of insulating your floor cavity with this one-piece, 11⁄4" Weyerhaeuser Trus Joist TimberStrand LSL rim board and 1" of insulation with a durable foil face. The insulated rim fits and fastens like a conventional rim board … all in one easy step.
R-30* Insulated Structural Corners
Weyerhaeuser Trus Joist TimberStrand LSL or Framer Series® lumber combine with 4" of insulation for a better three-stud corner or interior wall (T) intersection with fewer structural materials. The assembly is sized for 2x6 exterior walls and provides nailing surfaces for drywall—and meets ENERGYRGY STARTAR requirements for framing corners.
