Lumber & Plywood

We take great pride in knowing that the suppliers that we purchase our lumber and plywood material from spend millions of dollars each year in research and development to ensure the health of the forests that they harvest. Wood is a completely renewable resource and without practices in place to ensure growth in the future, our suppliers would not be in business. The Consortium for Research on Renewable Industrial Materials found that for a typical house, wood framing:

• used 17 percent less energy than steel construction
• used 16 percent less energy than concrete construction
• generated 26 percent less greenhouse gas emissions than steel and 31 percent less than concrete. It also generated fewer air pollutants.
