Sustainable Materials

• We use high grade Extira brand MDF panels.
• No old growth wood is used in the manufacturing of Extira panels. The wood used is pre-consumer recycled as it is the
  byproducts of other operations
• Panels are treated with zinc borate, an EPA-registered biocide and a naturally occurring earth chemical that is environmentally safe and ensures protection against termites.
• 100% northern hardwoods are used, which includes maple, beech, oak and other species.

No Added Urea Formaldehyde

• Panels have no added urea formaldehyde. This is certified by Scientific Certification Systems under certificate number SCS-MC-01802. They are manufactured with environmentally preferable phenolic resins.
• Through repeated testing by the Composite Panel Association (CPA), our the panels we use have demonstrated formaldehyde emissions equivalent to background levels found in the environment.

CARB Compliant

• Panels are acknowledged by the California Air Resources Board’s (CARB) Airborne Toxic Control Measure (ATCM) 93120 to utilize exempt status ultra-low emitting formaldehyde (ULEF) resins.

Contributes to Green Building Programs

• Panels contribute to industry green building programs such as LEED and the National Green Building Standard.

Fire Retardant

All interior applications are made with fiberboard that has been treated with a spray-applied or brushed-on, fire retardant coating (FRCs) used to provide best in class passive fire protection. The fire retardant coatings that are used have all received “Class A” or “Class 1” designations, in accordance with international building codes and the National Fire Protection Association’s standards.

EX fiberboard is used for exterior applications. It is denser and coarser than the fire retardant fiberboard. The exterior version has a variety of features including:



• Moisture resistant
