Frequently Asked Questions
What eco-friendly building products does Windsor Plywood carry?
Windsor Plywood carries eco-friendly and sustainable building products including FSC-certified lumber and panels, composite decking made from high recycled content such as Trex (95% recycled material), Eva-Last bamboo-polymer composite products, Moso bamboo flooring and decking, Ecopoxy bio-based epoxy resins, and low-VOC finishing products. The selection reflects a range of product categories where sustainable alternatives are available.
What does FSC certification mean for lumber and wood products?
FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certification means the wood product comes from forests managed to standards that protect biodiversity, worker rights, and community interests alongside commercial harvesting. Chain-of-custody certification tracks the product from the certified forest through processing to the point of sale. FSC-certified products are an important specification for LEED projects and green building certifications requiring responsible wood sourcing documentation.
What composite decking options at Windsor Plywood have the highest recycled content?
Trex composite decking is manufactured from 95 percent recycled materials including reclaimed wood fibre from sawmill waste and plastic film from retail bag recycling programs. Trex is one of the highest recycled-content composite decking products available. Eva-Last products use recycled bamboo fibre in their composite construction. Windsor Plywood staff can provide current recycled content documentation for specific products on request.
What is the most sustainable flooring option available at Windsor Plywood?
Moso bamboo flooring is one of the most sustainable flooring options available, as bamboo reaches harvestable maturity in 5 to 7 years compared to 25 to 80 years for hardwood trees, and Moso holds FSC certification. Wickham hardwood flooring is Canadian-made using FSC-certified manufacturing. For existing wood floors, refinishing rather than replacement is the most sustainable choice of all.
Do eco-friendly building products cost more than conventional alternatives?
The cost premium for sustainable products varies by category. FSC-certified lumber is comparably priced to non-certified lumber in most cases. Composite decking with high recycled content carries a higher upfront cost than pressure-treated wood but lower lifetime maintenance costs. Bamboo flooring is competitively priced with domestic hardwood flooring. The lifecycle cost, including maintenance and durability, often makes sustainable products cost-competitive over time.
