Engineered Wood Underlayments just got a little GREENER!

EnStron products are made from 100% recycled waste from wood products. That means it is an environmentally superior option compared to Lauan plywood – which is imported and manufactured from rainforest wood sources. EnStron products meet the strict HUD standards for strength and formaldehyde fuming. No Added Formaldehyde

For High Humidity & Moisture Areas Plus

Protect your flooring investment by choosing the best underlayment. Created specifically for the floor-covering industry, EnStron is a high- density, thin underlayment panel with a smooth, blemish free face and a fine surface nap that encourages maximum adhesion of various resilient floor coverings.

The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System is a third-party certification program and the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings. LEED provides building owners and operators with the tools they need to have an immediate and measureable impact on their buildings’ performance. LEED is a certification system that deals with the environmental performance of buildings based on overall characteristics of the project. It is up to project teams to determine which products are most appropriate for credit achievement and program requirements

*Based on LEED version 2009

EnStron products are ECC Certified The Composite Panel Association (CPA) Eco-Certified Composite (ECC) Grademark Program has been developed to provide independent certification of wood composite products that are demonstrably environmentally preferable through their use of recycled and/or recovered wood fiber and adherence to voluntarily lower formaldehyde emission standards than government regulations. “ECC Certification is available to individual manufacturing plants and requires an on-site qualification audit. Unfinished composite panel products must first comply with the stringent California Air Resources Board (CARB) formaldehyde emissions regulation” Enstron also meets the following requirements: -Low Carbon Emissions -Uses Locally Sourced Fiber -Responsible Wood Sourcing

Simply the Best Choice for Resilient Floor Underlayment

Smoother Denser Impact Resistant Consistent Workable Economical Enviro-Friendly Blemish Free Quiet Underlayment just got a lot more….

Developed by the Composite Panel Association (CPA), the ECC (Eco-Certified Composite) Grademark Program provides independent certification to wood composite products that are preferable through their use of recycled wood fibre. Smooth Surface

At 46.5 lbs/cu. ft. EnStron is more than 50- percent more dense than Lauan plywood. That means it deflects and resists panel damage from impacts like dropped tools much better than other underlayment products. And, a higher density panel means nails and screws have more fiber to bite into – so you have fewer problems with squeaks and loose panels. Density

EnStron’s superior surface hardness helps eliminate the need for panel patching and sanding. Unlike Lauan plywood, fasteners will not split the surface of EnStron underlayment. Surface Hardness

EnStron is an engineered panel designed to meet precision manufacturing standards. It has no core voids or hidden imperfections that can cause problems after the floor covering is installed. Consistency

No need to worry about callbacks due to veneer delamination. Because EnStron is an integrated panel with no layers, it holds together – even in higher moisture areas like bathrooms and kitchens – that are more susceptible to moisture and humidity. Solid One-Piece Construction

Enstron and Enstron Plus are economically price competitive and come with a 15 Year Transferable Warranty. Economically Priced

With a panel density more than 50- percent greater than Lauan plywood, fasteners like screws, nails and staples tend to hold tighter – eliminating squeaks and panel warping. Quiet

Unlike Lauan products that are produced in a layering process that is more susceptible to delamination, EnStron is engineered using fine recovered wood which eliminates issues related to delamination. EnStron’s surface is smoother and harder than other underlayment options. That means you get better adhesion to the floor covering and better resistance to denting due to surface impact common on job sites. It also means you don’t need to worry about “surface telegraphing” commonly seen through vinyl floor coverings. Most underlayment panels, even top-performing panels like EnStron, are not engineered for areas where extremely high-moisture from humidity or other environmental factors can affect panel performance. EnStron Plus features a special moisture-resistant formula designed specifically for high-moisture conditions. You get better panel stability, with the same warranty and same easy installation.
