Engineered wood is made with a top layer of hardwood called the “wear layer” that's adhered to multiple layers of backing material, creating a floorboard that's less affected by changes in temperature and relative humidity.

Retaining Wall Weep Hole Covers: While you should never fill weep holes with solid material—such as caulk, wood, or mortar—you can put strips of fiberglass screen wire or scouring pad in the weep holes to keep insects out.

Composition Roof Type: There are 3 types of composition (asphalt) shingles: 3-tab, architectural, and luxury.

Difference Between Dead Load and Live Load: Dead loads (DL) are essentially constant during the life of the structure and normally consist of the weight of the structural elements. On the other hand, live loads (LL) usually vary greatly.
