What is Engineered Wood?

March 30, 2010 | By ATBEStaff

Stick Built might not be all that great. You may have heard for years that the best built homes are stick built. Well stick built means one piece at a time but maybe those sticks go together in the rain, sleet, snow or cold. Worst still it often takes as much as 3-4 weeks to get your home “dried-in” Today the best built homes are built in an environmentally controlled space on sophisticated equipment that insures accuracy.

Engineered Wood, Wall Panels, and Trusses speed the field installation times and make for a tighter, more energy efficient home. Precision equipment and advancements in handling and delivery equipment have made the “Stick Built” house an inferior choice.

Industry professional Bill Sauder provides this unique opportunity to learn more about the internal working of your home. Why does drywall crack? Why do floors squeak? Why are there cold spots on your walls? You will learn how these can be eliminated and be introduced to a fascinating aspect of building that few people have a chance to see.
