FSC Certified® Timber Trusses Now Available

American Pole & Timber can now manufacture FSC Certified® timber trusses and other custom structural wood products.

As part of their dedication to supply products that meet LEED and other green building standards, American Pole & 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.”

American Pole & Timber has been supplying FSC certified® lumber and wood products for a while now. This new certification means they can custom manufacture finished products from FSC certified® raw materials and those finished products can carry the FSC certified® designation.

Points for LEED Certification

“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 & 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.
