Boise Cascade's Rim Board offers a robust and efficient solution for framing the perimeter of engineered wood floor systems. Designed for structural integrity, this product provides a continuous load path, transferring loads from the floor joists directly to the foundation walls. This integral component plays a crucial role in enhancing the overall stability and performance of your floor framing.
Manufactured with the same engineered wood technology as Boise Cascade's renowned I-joists, the Rim Board boasts consistent quality and strength. It acts as a solid, uniform edge for floor joist systems, preventing twisting and bowing while providing a secure nailing surface for subfloor panels. This results in a more dimensionally stable and squeak-resistant floor. Easy to install, the Rim Board streamlines the construction process, contributing to faster project completion. It is available in various dimensions to accommodate different joist depths and building codes.
