Boise Engineered Wood Products Meet the Demands of Environmentally Conscious Consumers

Boise Cascade is a leader in manufacturing engineered wood products that more efficiently use our forests while providing building products with improved structural characteristics. Boise is a member of the Built Green Industry Leaders, the driving force behind Built Green Colorado.

"Builders wishing to meet Built Green Colorado standards will find our products a perfect fit," says Tom Hoffmann, manager of Boise Building Materials Distribution.

Boise's engineered wood products – BCI® Joists, VERSA-LAM ® Beams, VERSA-STUD®, VERSA-LAM® 1.7 Header, and VERSA-LAM® LVL Truss Cord – are designed to meet the demands of the quality-conscious consumer, as well as the environmentally conscious one.

BCI® Joists and VERSA-LAM® Beams are more reliable, more stable, and stronger than conventional structural lumber. These products are engineered to virtually eliminate shrinking, cracking, and other problems associated with conventional lumber that cause ill-fitting doors and windows, problems that waste energy in a home.

"Because every piece of our engineered wood products is identical and usable," said Hoffmann, "builders experience less waste and reduced debris."

Boise's engineered wood products have been featured on the popular PBS TV series Hometime and in Life magazine's dream house issue.

Boise, headquartered in Boise, Idaho, manufactures engineered wood products, plywood, lumber, and particleboard and distributes a broad line of building materials including wood products manufactured by the company. Boise also manufactures a wide range of specialty and premium imaging papers for the office and home, papers for pressure-sensitive applications, printing and converting papers, containerboard and corrugated boxes, newsprint, and market pulp.
