SPRINGFIELD, Ore. – When it comes to manufacturing sustainable building materials, Timber Products Company continues to set the standard.

The company’s new GreenT™ line of hardwood plywood was recently honored with two prestigious awards from the industry’s leading architectural publications:

A panel of architects, designers and specifiers selected GreenT™ for an Architectural Record Product Choice Award as one of the best new products of 2007. As the official publication of the American Institute of Architects, the magazine reaches more than 100,000 architects, engineers and designers each issue.

In addition, GreenT™ was identified by the readers of Architectural Products magazine as one of the top building products of the year. The publication’s subscribers chose GreenT™ for a Top 50 Reader’s Choice Award from the more than 1,200 products that were showcased in the publication during 2007.

“GreenT had a strong reception by the market this year and these awards validate that architects are interested in new, sustainable products that meet green building standards,” said Timber Products Vice President Roger Rutan. “This line offers our customers a wide variety of innovative panels that have been field tested for strength and durability, and perform well in many applications.”

GreenT™ hardwood panels are manufactured with certified wood fiber and a special resin that meets most green building requirements, including LEED® and the strict California Air Resources Board formaldehyde regulations. In addition, the line is offered with an MDF, veneer or particleboard core and includes a panel with a hardwood face and decorative overlay back, a two-sided decorative overlay panel, raw particleboard panels and particleboard door core panels.
