During your travels, you have likely noticed distinct differences in the use of external building materials that change from region to region. 🏠Builders select materials that best hold up under local conditions such as extreme heat, cold and moisture. If it makes sense for exterior components, it also makes sense that internal building elements need to be #climate friendly as well.🌎 When it comes to adaptability to the elements, #plywood is at the top of the list. Not only can plywood handle both extreme cold and heat, it has also been proven to remain resilient during hurricanes and intense storms. And because plywood can effectively combat moisture, it is an excellent building choice in rainy or humid conditions.

We select foods and goods that are responsibly packaged, 📦 so why shouldn’t we look for responsible “packaging” in our home construction, too? Today we can, thanks to the superior characteristics of laminated veneer lumber (#LVL), From an environmental perspective, 🌳 LVL stores carbon to the tune of about half of its mass, and once treated, that carbon remains as long as the LVL is intact. Plus, its manufacturing process is far less energy-intensive than concrete or steel production. 🏡 New home construction may not outwardly come with a #sustainable content label, but a few questions of the builders may reveal that your new home is greener than meets the eye. Download our article below to learn more about the important role LVL is playing in our future buildings. #MakingWoodMatter 💚 https://lnkd.in/dqgvhWZp
