iLevel by Weyerhaeuser has introduced its Insulated Series of structural framing members [1] designed to help builders meet the latest energy-efficiency standards. The series includes headers, rim board, and corners that incorporate a layer of foam insulation to provide higher R-values and reduced thermal bridging than traditional framing methods. iLevel Insulated Series products are pre-assembled to optimize materials and are available in standard sizes to fit 2x6 conventional framing dimensions.
Editors’ Comments: As energy codes become more stringent across the nation, products like the Insulated Series will help builders and remodelers meet code.
