Let FireProShop™ Value-Engineer Your Next Project

Steve Conboy won the CTX contest in Texas with his Go Wide and Deep program, beating the biggest I-joist producers.

The lumber industry has changed. There is now a TER for Class A fire-retardant treated lumber with no reduction in wood fiber strength, no need for hot-dipped fasteners and no need for framers to wear special masks against toxic sawdust.

What if we made you Class A top-chord-bearing open-web trusses that eliminate one layer of drywall, all the LVL rim joists and the A35 connectors? You save time, a boatload of money and dumpster waste.

Architects and builders: Ask any fire marshal or firefighter which they'd rather have in your building, Class A fire-treated top-chord-bearing trusses or raw I-joists. Ask your structural engineer which holds up better under ground movement and high wind loads. Then ask the framer which he'd rather install. It's a no-brainer.
