GreenT Tops Wood Digest’s Reader’s Choice Awards

Sustainable hardwood plywood garners most reader interest in 2008

SPRINGFIELD, Ore. – Timber Products Company’s GreenT™ line of hardwood plywood struck a chord with readers of Wood Digest last year as it was named the number one product in the magazine’s 2008 Reader’s Choice Top 25 Products awards.

The awards are based on the total number of responses generated throughout the year from reader inquiry cards. GreenT received more than any other product, according to the publication.

“The marketplace continues to demand more sustainable products so this award shows that cabinet companies and furniture manufacturers are extremely interested in learning more about hardwood plywood like GreenT,” said Timber Products Vice President Roger Rutan. “We’re thrilled there’s such a high level of interest in our products.”

Since its introduction, GreenT has won several prestigious awards from some of the industry’s leading publications, including:

• Architectural Record Product Choice Award
• Architectural Products Top 50 Reader’s Choice Award
• Professional Builder 100 Best New Products Award
• Building Products Green Product Award

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 (CARB) formaldehyde regulations. 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.
