Services
X-Beam Glulam
Rosboro X-Beam 2.0E represents the industry's first full-framing-width architectural glulam beam. Engineered with a true 2.0E modulus of elasticity, these beams span farther while deflecting less than conventional 24F-V4 glulam. Available in 3", 5", 6", and 8" widths with architectural finishes, they install flush with wall framing systems. The beams' higher load capacity reduces connector costs through standard hanger compatibility. Our proprietary manufacturing process using over-dimension lumber feedstock maintains full-framing-width dimensions after surface finishing.
Custom Glulam
Western Structures division provides built-to-order glulam solutions for unique architectural requirements. We manufacture beams in Douglas Fir or Alaskan Yellow Cedar with custom dimensions up to 16" width, 53" depth, and 100' length. Available in premium, architectural, industrial, and rough-sawn appearances, our custom beams accommodate special fabrication needs including corbels, bevels, and pressure treatment. The division specializes in complex geometries with lead times as short as one week for urgent projects.
Laminated Decking
Rosboro Laminated Decking (RLD) offers a cost-effective alternative to cross-laminated timber systems. Available in 3.5", 5.5", 6.75", and 8.75" thicknesses, RLD panels provide superior strength-to-weight ratios for floor and roof applications. The product's strong-axis orientation allows 3.5" RLD to replace 3-ply CLT while 5.5" RLD substitutes 5-ply CLT. Available with architectural or industrial finishes, these panels support single and multi-span configurations with optional pre-fabricated connections and openings.
Pressure Treating
Our factory-controlled pressure treating service enhances wood durability for exterior applications. Using American Wood Preservers Association (AWPA) standards, we apply treatments that protect against decay, insects, and moisture damage. The process maintains structural integrity while extending service life for beams exposed to weather conditions. We offer customized treatment specifications for both Douglas Fir and Alaskan Yellow Cedar glulam products.
Dimension Lumber
Rosboro's dimension lumber program provides #2 & Better KD Douglas Fir in standard and custom lengths from 8 to 20 feet. The lumber meets grading requirements for structural framing applications while offering cost-effective solutions for builders. Available in both green and dry conditions, our inventory supports residential and light commercial construction projects requiring reliable, code-compliant framing materials.
