Parallam

Another building material used in many of our packages is Parallel Strand Lumber (PSL). PSL is a high-strength structural composite marketed under the trade name Parallam®. PSL is comparable in strength to laminated veneer lumber, and is often grouped under the heading Structural Composite Lumber (SCL). PSL is made from long strands of wood chopped from wood veneer. This process allows the removal of growth defects and inconsistencies that may reduce the strength of the raw material.

PSL’s consistent properties and high load-carrying ability, make it an ideal material for support pieces in both residential and commercial structures. When finished, exposed PSL pieces provide the perfect compliment to any structure.
