Multiple Uses of Rim Board
Boise Cascade Company
We bring people, products, and services together to build strong homes, businesses, and communities.
Most of us know rim board as a necessary building component for most wood floor systems. But did you know it has many other uses, too?
Not only does rim board provide rotational stability at bearing locations for primary (beams) and secondary (joists & trusses) framing members, but it transfers vertical loads from above (uniform & concentrated) to the wall/foundation below. Most critically, rim board transfers lateral/shear loads from the floor/roof diaphragms into the shear walls/foundation below. Rim board can also be used to transfer vertical loads around openings in the wall below in lieu of framing a header over the opening.
Boise Cascade? has eight different rim board products for increasingly more complex rim board applications. To help you understand their characteristics, and the applications of these products, please download our Boise Cascade? Rimboard Design Guide.
