 Dimension Lumber - a product of the saw mill and planing mill of nominal 2 in. through 4 in. thick and 2 or more inches wide usually not further manufactured other than by sawing, resawing, passing lengthwise through a standard planing machine, crosscutting to length, and matching. |
 Structural Glued Laminated Timber (Glulam) - a product produced in a laminating plant under controlled conditions of temperature and pressure by gluing together suitable selected and prepared pieces of lumber, normally of 2-in. or 1-in. nominal thickness, with the grain of all pieces essentially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the member. |
 Metal Connector Plate - a metal plate used to connect coplanar wood members , so as to transmit forces from one wood member to one or more other wood members , and connected to such wood members using either integral teeth formed from the metal plate and subsequently embedded in the wood, or separately applied driven fasteners such as nails. Also referred to as plate, metal plate, metal-plate connector, nailed plate and truss plate. |
 Prefabricated Wood I-joist - a structural member manufactured using sawn or structural composite lumber flanges and structural panel webs, bonded together with exterior exposure adhesives, forming an "I" cross-sectional shape. These members are primarily used as joists in floor and roof construction. |
 Structural Composite Lumber (SCL) - a composite of wood elements (for example, wood strands, strips, veneer sheets, or a combination thereof) oriented with the wood fibers primarily along the length of the member and bonded with an adhesive. These materials are intended for structural use. Examples included LSL, LVL and PSL. |
 Structural Connector - a mechanical device used to structurally secure two or more pieces, parts or members together, including anchors, ties and fasteners. |
 Wood Structural Panel - a panel manufactured from veneers, wood strands or wafers, or a combination of veneer and wood strands or wafers, bonded together with waterproof synthetic resins or other suitable bonding systems and intended for use in structural applications. |
 Truss - an engineered, prefabricated structural component, assembled using linear elements such as lumber or steel, and designed to carry superimposed dead and live loads. The truss members form a rigid, planar, structural component and are usually assembled such that the members form triangles. |
 Wall Panel - a product of the saw mill and planing mill of nominal 2 in. through 4 in. thick and 2 or more inches wide usually not further manufactured other than by sawing, resawing, passing lengthwise through a standard planing machine, crosscutting to length, and matching. |
