Hardwood flooring has been a
popular choice for homeowners through the last century due to its longevity
and the value it adds to a home. Traditionally, domestic species of wood
such as North American oak, cherry, and maple have been used to enhance
mid- to upper-end homes. While these wood products are beautiful, it is
difficult for an end user to ascertain whether their material originated
from a well-managed forest; that is, until JG Architectural Supply unveiled
its line of FSC Certified Domestic wood flooring.
The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is a third-party, international
organization based in Bonn, Germany, with national offices in more than 40
countries. The FSC has developed principles, criteria, and standards for
forest management in an effort to implement sustainable forestry practices
across the globe. Products certified by the FSC come from well-managed
forests, where not only the flora and fauna are protected, but indigenous
peoples' rights and socio-economic factors are considered as well.
Currently, FSC Certified products are the only certified wood products
accepted by the US Green Building Council (USGBC) for Leadership in Energy
and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building projects.
Over the course of the last decade, several forest management
certificates were issued across the United States by the FSC. While more
and more timberlands are becoming certified against FSC standards, these
certified forests still comprise a minority of North American logging
areas. Due to the fact that there is a limited pool of FSC Certified
material in North America, such material carries a premium.
JG Architectural Supply's line of FSC Certified Domestic wood flooring
consists of North American Oak, Cherry, Maple, and Walnut prepared in a
variety of grades. These products are all available 100% FSC Certified to
ensure responsible product origins to the end user. While FSC Certified
material carries a premium in today's market, JG Architectural has elected
to sell its product at a lower profit margin to encourage its use.
