With the same quality and dependability you have come to expect from Biewer Lumber™, we are proud to offer Nail – Lams. All lumber, both treated and untreated, is NO. 1 Southern Pine (no mixing of species or using a lower grade material). All treated lumber is FOUNDATION GRADE to ensure complete penetration to protect against rot, decay or insect damage. Also, continuous quality control program, overseen by registered structural engineer, is in place to ensure only the best product reaches the market. The upper 18” -24” of every column contains no mechanical fasteners or adhesive which allows workers in the field a quick and easy way to notch plys for truss bearing. This is just one feature which neither solid sawn or GLU-LAM columns can offer.

Advantages of NAIL-LAM “Plus” columns over solid sawn columns:

• Individual plys have more complete treating than larger solids (treatment is with CCA to a 0.60 retention).
• Straighter, stronger and lighter columns greatly reduce labor cost in the field as well as eliminate call backs.
• Posts won’t crack or split and are of uniform dimension, (making framing and finish work easier).
• Untreated portion on upper end eliminates need for hot dipped galvanized nails.
• Longer lengths available in minimal amount of time from placement of order.
• Individual plys can be notched for a superior truss bearing connection.

Advantages of NAIL-LAM “ PLUS” columns over other mechanically laminated columns:

• All stainless steel fasteners utilized throughout column.
• Adhesive between plys greatly cuts down on interlayer slip resulting in better weak-axis stiffness.
• Structural finger joints utilized in Nail-Lam Plus are produced under SPIB Glued lumber Standards and carriers certification from Southern Pine Inspection Bureau, a nationally recognized third party inspection agency.

Advantages of NAIL-LAM “PLUS” columns over GLU –Laminated columns:

• Nail Lams can be easily notched in field for truss connections.
• No more need to worry about possible long term delimitation of plys.
• Nail-Lams are generally more economical than glu-laminated columns.
• Nail-Lam “Plus” columns and manufacturing process covered by various patents pending.
