Terminology

VOC: Volatile Organic Compound,
a carbon-based chemical compound - found in thousands of household products - that turns into a gas at room temperature. Once inhaled, these toxins can be stored within the body, causing long-term health effects such as eye, nose and throat irritation, headaches, loss of coordination, nausea, kidney, liver and CNS damage, allergic reactions, asthma, memory impairment and in some instances cancer.

85% of the average American's life is spent indoors.1

No small wonder, then, that in recent years Indoor Air Quality has become a hot topic. According to the EPA, our indoor air can often times be 2-5 times more polluted than outside air - regardless of where you live.


Healthy Home Institute

Dust and animal dander are perhaps obvious menaces - but did you know that many of your home furnishings could also be giving off toxins (known as VOCs) that could be seriously affecting your health? This is known as "offgassing." You wouldn't want your kids sleeping in a freshly painted room, but what if you knew that your carpets, furniture, cabinets and flooring were giving off similar or perhaps even more harmful toxins?


Formaldehyde-free Hardwood Plywood

PureBond® Panels

Since 2005 we've been manufacturing our hardwood plywood using a formaldehyde-free resin derived from soy flour. This proprietary system, known as PureBond®, is non-toxic and still cost-competitive with similar urea formaldehyde-based plywood products. And you can be assured PureBond plywood is made domestically in our US and Canadian plants.

Our hardwood plywood can also be specified using FSC-certified (Forest Stewardship Council™) wood products, making it a green choice for you and the planet.

Now our PureBond® plywood is available in stock and by special order at 1,700 Home Depot stores nationwide. Check your area for availability.
