Overview: The decreasing supply of large diameter, old-growth trees has resulted in an increased popularity of engineered wood materials -- those that process young, small diameter trees into strands and reassemble them into panels, boards, and framing material. Engineered wood has many uses, including wall framing. Engineered wood wall framing is used as a replacement of traditional 2 x 4 and 2 x 6 dimensional lumber, installed with the same process, tools, and fasteners. A manufacturer of engineered wood framing states that its product is superior in strength, stability, and uniformity to standard lumber, and is comparable in cost.
