TimberStrand Benefits

With short-span applications like window and door headers, it’s shear strength that counts. TimberStrand® LSL has a shear stress of 400 psi—up to 50% stronger than other common EWPs—making TimberStrand® LSL the right solution for the right job. Thanks to its dimensional stability and durability, it resists warping, twisting, cupping, or checking and stands up to the challenges of dry climates.

Bearing strength can be an issue with headers, and here again TimberStrand® LSL is the clear winner because its high bearing strength can reduce the number of trimmers you’ll need at openings. Green-minded builders also appreciate the fact that TimberStrand® LSL is made from fast-growing wood species and Trus Joist's manufacturing process makes the best use, with virtually no waste, of each log.

When our header is stronger, greener, and a better value—why are you still using other headers?
