EnStron Engineered Wood Underlaymentsjust 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.

NOFORMALDEHYDE

ADDED

EnStron products meet the strict HUD standards for strength and formaldehyde fuming.

For High Humidity & Moisture Areas

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.

Using EnStron Products

LEED Rating SystemsLEED Rating Systems

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

EnStron LEED Credit and Point EnStron LEED Credit and Point InformationInformation

Indoor Environmental Quality IEQ 4.4 - (1 point)Composite wood products must contain no added Urea Formaldehyde Resins.

Material and Resources MR 4.1 - (1 point)Sum of recycled content constitutes at least 10% of material in the project.

Material and Resources MR 4.2 - (1 point in addition to MR 4.1)Sum of recycled content constitutes at least 20% of material in the project.

Material and Resources MR 5.1 - (1 point)Use minimum of 20% combined value of construction materials and products manufactured within

a 500 mile radius.

Material and Resources MR 5.2 - (1 point)In addition to requirements of MR 5.1, use a minimum of 10% of the combined value of

construction materials and products extracted, harvested, or recovered as well as manufactured within 500 miles of the project.

Material and Resources MR 7.1 – (1 point)Use a minimum of 50% of wood based materials and products which are certified in

accordance with the Forest Stewardship Council’s (FSC) principles and criteria for wood building components.

EnStron products are ECC CertifiedThe Composite Panel Association (CPA) Eco-Certified

Composite (ECC) Grademark Program has been developed to provide independent certification of wood composite products

thatare 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

Underlaymentjust got a lot more….

EnStron’s exceptionally smooth surface means it provides superior bonding between

the floor covering adhesive and the panel. And the consistent face also means you don’t

have to worry about seeing panel imperfections, delaminations or seaming

after you lay vinyl floor coverings.

Smooth SurfaceSmooth 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.

DensityDensity

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 HardnessSurface 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.

ConsistencyConsistency

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.

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

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.

QuietQuiet

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.
