FSC Certified Timber Products Made to Order by American Pole and Timber

Online, April 29, 2014 (Newswire.com) - American Pole and Timber can now custom produce FSC Certified® timber products such as custom structural timber trusses, pilings, beams, mantles, corbels, rafter tails, and much more.

As part of their dedication to supply products that help their clients achieve high LEED scores and meet other green building standards, American Pole and Timber in Houston, TX has developed a product groups control system that meets the requirements of, and has been approved by, the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification system and can now manufacture and distribute "FSC 100% and/or FSC Mix Lumber Products."

Points for LEED Certification

The certification is especially intriguing to residential and commercial builders whose goal is to achieve high LEED scores in their projects. "This means we can supply FSC Certified® custom structural wood components such as timber trusses for LEED projects." says Eric Lincoln, Sales Manager at American Pole and Timber.

Eric says having the FSC certification for products like timber trusses can earn a lot of points in the "Materials and Resources" category - and maybe others -- of the LEED certification process and help designers and builders earn the coveted Platinum LEED rating. The FSC Certified® timber products do not look different than non-certified products but they meet the chain of custody requirements proving they have been handled, produced, and shipped using environmentally friendly practices and methods.
