We're the Glulam Experts.

BigBeam@: This big 30F beam is an integral component of your engineered floor system and is manufactured to match standard l-joist depths and wall framing widths.

Rosboro Stock Glulam: This 24F, kiln dried beam is available in Architectural and Framing appearance, and is the mainstay of our glulam product line.

IJC-24FrM: Similar but without the high design values of its big brother, this 24F beam is much more cost effective for moderate loads.

l.7E Header: An economical choice where high design values are not required. l.7E Headers go in straight and withstand the elements better than LSL or solid sawn timber.

We also have the support to back up such a complete product line.

Software Support: Rosboro now offeres KeyBeam@, a software program that helps you select the most cost effective Rosboro product for your application. This software is available on CD or can be downloaded from our website along with all other technical resources covering Rosboro products.

Rosboro's Toll-Free Technical Support: Please feel free to call our Technical Support Hotline at 1-877 -457 -4139 with your questions about any Rosboro glulam product. Drill a hole, and not sure if it's OK? Call, we'll let you know.

Listings are often submitted months in advance. Always verify dates and locations with sponsor before making plans to attend.

VillaCrest@ doors are designed to give the illusion of an expensive hardwood panel stile and rail door. Made of Low Density Fiberboard, these doors carry a high degree of structural integrity, For added strengtb, solid wood blocks are inserted, hinge-side, to provide for durable - and very critical - seats for the hinge screws,

RM Series doors have the weight and feel of a solid wood door with elegant raised moulding that creates an expensive custom look.

Boise Moving Midwest DCs

Boise Building Solutions, Distribution, a division of Boise Cascade Corp., has relocated its Minneapolis DC to a larger facility in Lakeville, Mn.. and also will begin construction of a replacement for its DC in the Chicago, Il., area.

The new 80,000-sq. ft. warehouse and office facility in Lakeview sits on a l4-acre site that is served by rail transportation. The move was completed in late June.

In the first quarter of 2004, the sales and distribution operation now in Aurora. Il.. will be relocated to Rochelle, Il., where an 80,000-sq. ft. warehouse and office will be built on a 2l-acre, rail-served site. Boise chose the Rochelle location because of its proximity to rail and highway corridors serving the Chicago trade area.

Fire Hits Lumber Warehouse

A former employee has been arrested on suspicion of setting fire to Elder Forest Products, Crowley, La., according to Elder's Arvin Compton.

Firefighters battled for 12 hours to extinguish the July l2 blaze that destroyed a lumber warehouse. Several firemen had to be treated for dehydration.

Investigators searched through debris for clues to the cause of the blaze that started just before l0:30 p.m. on a Saturday.

The damage was, according to owner Donald Elder, "very extensive. I'm grateful to God we still have one complete rough draft shed which holds our raw material."

The surviving shed, ironically, itself caught fire six years ago and the cause was never determined.

The unnamed suspect is also believed to be behind two other recent cases of arson.
