A Leader in Green Products

Columbia Forest Products is well known in our industry as supplying environmentally-friendly decorative wood panels for interior construction. Our products are North American-made, contain only legal, regionally harvested wood, and are assembled using our award-winning soy-based, formaldehyde-free PureBond® technology.

However, in order to earn points in all the official green building standards, you will need to specify your materials with the goal of green accreditation in mind. We have compiled a table to help you find which of our products will help you on your journey to LEED® or NAHB Green certification. Many of our products may help you earn points for their renewable content, recycled content, low VOC emissions, or local availability.

LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is an internationally-recognized green building certification system developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) to promote sustainable building and development practices through a suite of rating systems that recognize projects that implement strategies for better environmental and health performance.

The National Home Builders Association (NAHB) developed the National Green Building Standard™ to define green building for single- and multifamily homes, residential remodeling projects, and site development projects while still allowing for the flexibility required for regionally-appropriate best green practices.
