Hi-Velocity Systems

The Hi-Velocity System is an energy efficient high pressure air delivery system that can be designed to provide heating, cooling, filtration, ventilation, humidification and dehumidification. The Hi-Velocity System works on the principle of pressure rather than air velocity. It is quite different than a conventional furnace, the main difference being that the supply duct work is all "small diameter" or "mini duct".
With a pressurized small diameter duct we condition the air differently than conventional forced air systems. With the use of a high pressure area to low pressure area, we continuously mix the room air, creating even temperatures from floor to ceiling. Because the plenum duct is pressurized, dust build-up within the duct work is eliminated. With continuous air circulation from the constant fan, airborne dust and other allergens can be easily filtered out of the air.

Lumber Products

Lumber ProductsFrom its beginning, Lumber Products has distributed high-quality hardwood lumber and plywood to its customers. In 1938 Ernest E. Hall and his son Ernest L. Hall created Lumber Products in Portland, Ore., after realizing that their millwork business needed wholesale distributors in order to get products to the end user. When the founders stepped down from company management, Leonard Hall, Ernest L. Hall's son, took over as general manager and served until 1984, when his son Peter became the third generation of the Hall family to lead the company. Craig J. Hall, who represents the fourth generation, joined the firm in 1989. Through the years we have continually expanded our product lines to meet the changing needs of the marketplace.
