Green Benefits
  • No old growth wood is used in the manufacture of Extira panels. They are made from leftover wood that is of no commercial timber value and is the byproduct of other operations. This wood is also detrimental to the overall vitality of the forest. CMI uses 100% northern hardwoods. All wood comes from an area within a 200 mile radius of the Towanda, Pennsylvania production facility.
  • Extira panels have no added urea formaldehyde. This is certified by Scientific Certification Systems, certificate number SCS-MC-01802.
  • Due to their physical composition, Extira panels are not subject to the California Air Resources Board's (CARB) Airborne Toxic Control Measure 93120 (ATCM). This measure enforces limits on formaldehyde emissions. If they were subject to the ATCM rule, Extira panels would meet the specification for the designation "ultra low formaldehyde emitter."
  • Through repeated testing by the Composite Panel Association (CPA), a third party certifier for the ATCM rule, Extira panels have demonstrated formaldehyde emissions equivalent to background levels found in the environment.
  • Extira panels contribute to industry programs such as LEED® 2009 for Commercial Interiors, LEED 2009 for New Construction and Major Renovations, LEED for Homes and NAHB - National Green Building Standard™.
