An apparatus for connecting framing components of a building structure to a foundation wall includes a connector having a generally L-shaped cross-section. The connector is configured to be secured to the foundation wall. The connector has a joist shelf configured to support one or more floor joists and a ledge configured to support one or more wall sheathing panels.

A wood composite material comprises wood strands disposed in surface layers and one or more core layers, wherein about 70 wt % to about 98 wt % of the wood strands of the first and second surface layers are comprised of a wood species that has a density greater than a density of a wood species from which about 70 wt % to about 98 wt % of the strands in the one or more core layers are stranded.

Wood composite material containing strands of differing densities

Disclosed is a wood composite material comprising: wood strands disposed in surface layers and one or more core layers, whereby an intermediate density divides the wood strands so that the two surface layers of strands are more dense than the intermediate density, and the one or more core layers of the strands are less dense than the intermediate density, and wherein the core layer contains at least about 70 wt % of the strands that are less dense than the intermediate density; and the surface layers contain at least about 70 wt % of the strands that are more dense than the intermediate density.

Disclosed is a wood panel having a core layer, and upper and lower surface layers, the surface layers comprising a melamine urea formaldehyde surface resin, wherein the melamine urea formaldehyde surface resin is a product of reaction reagents, the reaction reagents comprising: about 5 to about 25 wt % melamine; about 5 to about 20 wt % urea; about 15 to about 30 wt % formaldehyde; and water.

Engineered wood boards with reduced VOC emissions

Lighweight lignocellulosic board materials, such as oriented strand board and others, having reduced densities while maintaining suitable mechanical properties, and methods for their manufacture.

Strength-enhanced, lightweight lignocellulosic composite board materials and methods of their manufacture

A melamine-containing resin modified with a cyclic urea prepolymer comprising urea, formaldehyde and ammonia or a primary amine. The prepolymer-modified melamine-containing resin provides useful binders alone, or when combined or coreacted with other resins. Products prepared with the binder include wood composites such as particleboard and medium density fiberboard.

Composites prepared with ready-to-use resin/wax emulsion adhesives

A phenolic resin modified with an alkali salt of sulfite or bisulfite in order to provide compatibility with a wax emulsion sizing agent, an adhesive prepared from the phenolic resin and wax emulsion, and the use of the adhesive in making bonded composites such as wood products, including, parallel strand lumber, oriented strand board (OSB), laminated veneer lumber (LVL), medium density fiberboard, wafer board and particle board, and textile products.
