About This Product
These days, the trend is toward large open rooms in homes, with a reduced number of columns. Therefore, the remaining columns must bear greater loads and traditional wood is often inadequate. An attractive alternative to steel columns is to use Versa-Lam engineered wood columns. Boise Cascade VERSA-LAM LVL columns offer higher design values than solid wood columns. Versa-Lam is made at an ideal 10% moisture content. With Boise Cascade VERSA-LAM LVL, you'll find none of the deep checks, cracks or twists that can plague solid wood columns.

Questions & Answers
Can the Versa Lam be used in outdoor conditions
This product is designed for interior application and installation.
How do I connect the LVLs to the top of this column. I cannot find an AC Cap that is 7" wide.
Answer Connecting LVLs to the top of a VERSA-LAM column requires careful consideration of structural integrity and load transfer. For such a critical structural connection, it is highly recommended to consult with a qualified professional, such as a structural engineer or the Pro Desk at your local Home Depot. They can assess your specific project requirements, local building codes, and the loads involved to recommend the appropriate connection methods and hardware. Typically, specialized connectors, such as column caps or post-to-beam connectors, are used to securely fasten LVLs to the top of a column. The specific type and size of connector will depend on the dimensions of the LVLs and the column, as well as the design loads. The Boise Cascade VERSA-LAM column is designed to bear significant loads, up to 14,500 lbs., and proper connection is essential to ensure its performance. For further assistance, you can contact Customer Support by texting “Support” to 38698, or calling 1-800-430-3376.
Can you sand off the exterior coating to stain/paint?
This product is designed for interior application/installation.
Where can I drill a 3/4 hole through a versalam column to route electrical cables? I see the LVL beams must be drilled in the center third. What about vertical column?
Drilling holes through a Versa-Lam column for electrical wiring should be approached with caution as it can affect the structural integrity of the column. It's best to consult a structural engineer or qualified professional for advice specific to your situation and local building codes. They can assess the load-bearing requirements and determine the appropriate size and location for any holes.
