Engineered Wood
Engineered wood products provide outstanding excellent performance for a reasonable cost, reduces the use of natural resources and minimizes waste on the job site. With engineered wood you will know the precise strength of every piece, taking all of the guesswork out of building a stronger, silent floor. It’s that simple.
- The new TJ®-Performance Plus® panels have higher predictable strength than any other structural panel.
- Add rim board, beams, and columns made of TimberStrand® LSL, Parallam® PSL and Microllam ® LVL, as well as our helpful installation guidelines, and you get more control, more strength and more reliability than with a package made up of typical framing materials.
Find out everything you ever wanted to know about engineered lumber (but were afraid to ask) by talking with one of our knowledgeable, trained staff.
Flashing
The primary cause of moisture damage in a commercial or residential building is water intrusion through the interface details around windows, doors, and other exterior penetrations. Water intrusion also represents the number-one reason for warranty callbacks and customer dissatisfaction in new home construction.
Flashing – properly installed and integrated with a weather-resistive barrier – is one of the most important factors in the successful performance of exterior walls.
We offer a variety of flashing options, including:
- Tyvek FlexWrap
- Fortifiber Building Systems Group.
Tyvek FlexWrap is an excellent choice for arch-top doors and windows. It is also great for door and window sills.
If you need some advice on flashing products or installation, feel free to ask one of our knowledgeable, trained staff. We’ve been here for 80 years supplying quality products and providing superior staff expertise.

Composite
Composite decking blends both plastic and wood to create a more durable material for your deck. Composite decking is impervious to conditions that cause rot, splintering, and cracking.
The combination of wood and plastic gives you the best qualities of both materials — the plastic shields the wood from moisture and insect damage so there’s no rotting or splintering, and the wood protects the plastic from UV damage.
Composite decking looks great year after year with only a semi-annual cleaning. And because there is no need to spend hours staining or repairing, the enjoyment of a composite deck is truly timeless!
We carry composite decking materials from the following manufacturers:
- TimberTech
- Trex
- EverGrain
If you have any questions about composite decking or need help choosing between the various options, stop by and talk to any of our qualified sales associates!

This product is easy to install for contractors and DIYers. Don’t forget, we offer tool rentals to help you get the job done!
Hardwood
Hardwood floors can add the “Wow” factor to any home. Bring the beauty of hardwood into your home.
Many factors define the look of natural hardwood flooring:
- the species of the tree
- where it grew
- the tree’s rate of growth
- the part of the tree used
… they all determine your flooring’s unique “character marks.”
At Hills Flat, we carry a wide selection of beautiful hardwood flooring materials, including wood flooring from Anderson and Shaw.
