Sustainability Benefit:

Made from post-industrial, by-product poplar material sourced from the furniture manufacturing and pulp industries, the TIMBER™ line (“FSC-Recycled”) epitomizes sustainable product innovation, and highlights the idea of taking industrial discards, and making them better than their traditional counterparts. The sourced wood strands are sorted by color, rendered inert through cleaning, coated with a low-VOC and EO resin, and then are compressed into the desired formulation. The TIMBER Natural color is a specific “recipe” which is predicated by both the aesthetics it creates and the raw material supply being sourced. The color composition is strictly controlled, and designed to be consistent throughout the ebbs and flows of strand supply. When clear-coated, as is the TIMBER Natural when supplied prefinished, the color and pattern extend throughout the entire thickness of the material (either throughout the full thickness of the “solid”, or through the entire thickness of the engineered wear layer), which facilitates simple screen-and-recoat maintenance over time, lowering the life-cycle costs compared to other material which has a stain applied to achieve the desired look.

• “FSC-Recycled” Chain of Custody Certification (made from 100% “by-product” material from the furniture manufacturing and pulp industries)
• Color/pattern found on surface exists throughout thickness of the wear layer (decreasing life-cycle costs, and the associated maintenance and refinishing needs)
• Made with low-VOC, E0-compliant, and NAUF (No Added Urea Formaldehyde) glues
• Extremely hard and stable (over 2x times as hard as commonly used Oak; more stable than all other traditional wood products when properly acclimated)
• Available prefinished (micro-bevel w/ NO Aluminum Oxide) and unfinished (square-edged), with a full line of accessories (stair treads, etc.) and matching panel/millwork components
