We switched from using 8′ panels to West Fraser’s full height panels on our two-story homes to save time and money and meet high wind codes. Starting these sheets at our sill plates we span through the first story floor band and wall section and join sheets in the second story floor band. The second sheet then takes us all the way up to our top plate. We save blocking material, handle fewer panels, cut waste and disposal costs, speed up framers, complete houses faster, and add savings to our bottom line. When I first spoke to my framer about West Fraser’s product he wanted to give me a hug. After he used them he said it was the best product to come along in years. Now our superintendent has other framers asking when they can use West Fraser’s product on their jobs. My framer, engineer, accountant, and I all agree that this is a better way to build.
