MSR
Machine Stress-Rated (MSR) lumber is the premier choice for structural applications where precision and performance are non-negotiable. Every piece undergoes non-destructive testing to measure its actual stiffness (E-rating) and bending strength (F-rating), ensuring it meets the rigorous load-bearing requirements of trusses, floor joists, and engineered wood products. By eliminating the uncertainty of visual-only grading, MSR lumber provides builders and manufacturers with unmatched structural reliability and design efficiency.
- 1650f-1.5E: Ideal for residential floor & roof trusses
- 2100f-1.8E: High-performance grade for heavy-duty structural use
- 2400f-2.0E: Premium engineering grade for maximum load-bearing
- Tested for Tension, Compression, and Modulus of Elasticity
- Available in SPF, Douglas Fir, and Southern Yellow Pine
