LP® SolidStart® Rim Board & The Environment
Manufacturing
- LP SolidStart Rim Board is made from wood – a renewable, natural resource.
- Our wood procurement process targets small, fast growing trees that can be replenished more quickly than older, larger trees.
- LP uses SFI® certified forest management and fiber sourcing systems to help ensure that our wood comes from well-managed forests.
- The entire log is used in our manufacturing process. All wood waste is repurposed or used to help fuel our mills.
- We only use low-emitting, safe resins in the manufacture of LP SolidStart Rim Board and do not add any urea formaldehyde.
Product Performance
- LP SolidStart Rim Board can help builders save time and reduce waste on the jobsite:
- It is pre-cut to match the depths of your I-Joists, which eliminates the need for field ripping.
- Because it’s consistent and flat, LP SolidStart Rim Board is an ideal surface for siding installation.
- Its high load capacity can help reduce the need for squash blocks.
- LP SolidStart Rim Board may help builders qualify for certification points in a number of leading green building programs.
