Nelson Lumber Manufacturing
We offer design services for tall walls, all types of floor systems, from manufactured floor trusses, to engineered I-joists. Our design team can assist you at all stages of your custom home construction.
Product Categories
Manufactured Roof Trusses
- Manufactured in our state of the art factories.
- Drawings transferred to computerized omni-saw and laser-guided truss jigs to ensure accurate cuts and precision.
Stair Manufacturing
- We are able to construct stairs for residential and commercial buildings as well as for decks.
- Nelson offers both open and closed style stairs.
Manufactured Floor Systems
- Nelson utilizes two types of engineered floor systems: the I-joist and its own Open Web truss design.
- The open web allows for longer floor spans - up to 22 ft.
- The web design will minimize floor bounce and makes for a strong, quiet floor.
- Ductwork can be hidden in the open web design, often eliminating drop downs in basement ceilings.
Panelized Walls
Nelson is capable of producing panelized interior and exterior walls for residential and commercial construction to save time on site. A signature product which is also used by our Homes and RTM divisions to drive efficiency and accuracy.
Panels come in pre-built sections, using only top grade lumber, have framed-in window and door openings, and OSB sheathing applied - ensuring quick framing time, lower labour cost and less material waste.
Components are numbered and cross-referenced with the blueprints for quick assembly at your job site.

Energy Wall System
Our factory assembled wall system applies a 1 ¾” rigid extruded polystyrene insulation that creates a thermal break (no cold studs). This design reduces heat loss, increases energy saving, increases r-value, and eliminates on-site costs for installing rigid installation. Exterior sheathing allows for easy installation of any siding type. Additionally Nelson Lumber offers optional moisture and mold resistant sheathing.
Building The Energy Wall
Lloydminster Manufacturing Plant
Manufacturing Plant Specifics
With climate controlled manufacturing, lumber remains dry, resulting in straight components due to less warping, twisting and shrinking. That means you'll have less cracks and nail pops and windows and doors will fit properly, thus requiring fewer repairs and adjustments later on. Computer technology ensures that cuts are made precisely and components fit together with great accuracy.
