As a provider of premium quality engi- neered wood products, the company strives not only to offer the best mate- rial on the market, but also to cus- tomize a solution to meet exact busi- ness and project requirements. Its wide range of options and deep depth prod- ucts will ensure you get exactly what you need, when you need it. This leads to less wasted material and more buy- ing power. Whether you are a distributor or a builder, the company is working hard to make IB your single destination for all your engineered wood product needs. It guarantees that every piece of wood it sells is scrutinized and subjected to the highest quality control standards in the industry. The harder it works, the less you will have to. Benefits of IB engineered wood products: versatile, reliable and cost- effective building material; excellent strength to size and weight ratio; stronger and less prone to warping than solid wood lumber; modern manufac- turing facilities and stringent quality control ensure consistent dimensions and solid performance of every piece; fewer framing pieces are required with- out loss of strength (compared to dimensional solid wood lumber), lead- ing to quicker installation time, lower product and labor costs, and less mate- rial waste; lighter weight compared to solid lumber, making its EWPs easier to handle and install; no need for special- ized equipment, its EWPs can be cut and installed with conventional tools; deep depth options of up to 24 inches for its I-joist, LVL and rim; guaranteed to be free of manu- facturer defects and to last the life of the structure (when properly installed using the installation guide); and its responsible forestry practices ensure its wood is a renewable resource. MAX-CORE I-Joist: Manufactured under climate-controlled conditions and subjected to strict quality control stan- dards to ensure stronger, stiffer and straighter joists; resists splitting, warp- ing, shrinking and twisting; spans longer distances (ranging in depths of 9.5 inches to 24 inches and in lengths of up to 52 feet) so fewer pieces need to be installed, leading to quicker installation time, lower product and labor costs, and less material waste. MAX-CORE LVL: Provides superior performance and long-term durability; perfectly suited to bear heavy loads and multi-span applications; ultrasonically tested and graded wood; cured using a controlled process with waterproof adhesives to boost stability and reduce warping; machine ripped to ensure rigidity, uni- form sizes and a flatter surface for nail- ing. MAX-CORE Rim: Excellent strength and convenient packaging ensures superior performance; paper wrapped and edge sealed to maximize moisture protection and dimensional stability; manufactured in 12 foot lengths for ease of handling, minimal trimming and quicker installation; can be manu- factured to any depth to suit conven- tional framing, I-joist and open-web systems.

NEW COLORS FOR YOUR KITCHEN AND BATH DESIGN TOOL BOX Elias Woodwork recently expanded its production facilities to accommodate increasing demand for Rigid Thermofoil (RTF), Decorative Laminate Veneer (DLV) and acrylic products. However, expanding production is not always the only step needed for meeting customer demand. The company's team of experts has also been hard at work examining industry trends to develop the right color palette for its product lines. With this in mind, it also recently announced several new colors were added to its line of stained wood, RTF and DLV products. As most industry professionals understand, wood stains can be tricky to work with. Due to the properties of wood, the stains will often look very dif- ferent from one piece of wood to the other in the same species. Of course, this is also what makes wood unique and cre- ates many beautiful finishes that are sought after and simulated. Elias Woodwork ensures its wood products and finishes are the highest quality while remaining competitive in the industry. Decorative Laminate Veneers simu- lates the look and feel of real wood and can offer an excellent alternative to wood products with the added benefit of being antimicrobial as well as scratch, fade and stain resistant. Combined with quality standards for smooth, flush miter joins, DLV has become a popular option for many customers. Rigid Thermofoil can also be an excellent wood alternative with many unique colors and textures to help get creative with your kitchen or bath project without the extra cost of exotic materials. These products offer unique options for both color and tex- ture. Elias Woodwork has added some interesting new color options to its RTF line. Not only do these new colors offer modern color options for your project, they introduce some new textures for your customers as well. As one of the five senses, touch should also be considered when design- ing any kitchen or bath project. When we look at cabinets, our first instinct is to touch the doors, open them and inspect the finish. From the texture of wood grain or the smooth feel of a painted door to the rippled effect of a patterned vinyl, touch will elicit feelings for everyone in different ways. Several of these new col- ors are not only visually soft, muted popular solid colors, but they feel soft to the touch as well. The smooth, silky fin- ish of these colors creates a whole new sensation while handling them. The soft touch vinyl may feel vulnerable, but uses the same durable, scratch and stain resistant, low main- tenance material that can be a cost-effec- tive alternative to wood. As with all of its products, Elias Woodwork is dedicated to ensuring its customers receive high qual- ity, long lasting products. Be sure to get your updated sample chains so you can add these new colors to your kitchen and bath design tool box.
