Iron Woods CXTM uses recycled materials and meets LEED eligibility requirements


MILWAUKEE--(Business Wire)--
Timber Holdings International, the original Iron Woods brand of naturally
durable hardwood products, today announced it has entered into an agreement with
Correct Building Products, LLC whereby Correct Building Products will
manufacture a commercial grade deck board for Timber Holdings. The new product
will be sold and marketed by Timber Holdings as Iron Woods CX ultra low
maintenance Hybrid Commercial Grade Decking for commercial marine dock and
boardwalk applications. 

With the addition of Iron Woods CX, Timber Holdings now offers a recycled
product option for municipalities and commercial customers. The decking utilizes
recycled post-industrial hardwood fiber and recycled post-consumer polypropylene
materials, and meets LEED eligibility requirements for sustainable sites and
material resources. The dock and boardwalk products will be made from 80%
recycled composite materials and will include CBP`s proprietary CX Technology
that features ultra-low maintenance characteristics by providing resistance to
staining, fading, and mold & mildew problems. 

Iron Woods CX is harder and stronger, and has lower thermal expansion than other
recycled plastic, composite or PVC based products. The commercial grade decking
uses state of the art, co-extrusion hybrid technology, which provides resistance
to fading, staining and mold while also providing for the easy removal of
graffiti, making the product ultra low maintenance and available for use in all
climates. Additionally, the product meets ADA slip resistance requirements 

Brian Lotz, president of Timber Holdings International said, "We recognized that
some of our customers were looking for commercial grade decking solutions that
would provide some of the advantages associated with naturally durable hardwoods
along with color options for particular applications without the requirement for
painting or staining. To offer a broader product pallet of options, including
those that are environmentally friendly, we are proud to introduce Iron Woods
CX." 

Iron Woods CX is made in America. It has virtually zero manufacturing waste and
zero plant emissions during manufacture. The product is available for immediate
purchase. 

Greg Ciampa Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Correct Building Products,
LLC said "We are very pleased that Timber Holdings with their fine reputation
for offering durable products chose our Commercial Grade deck protected with CX
Technology. Our commercial grade decking is sustainable, ultra low maintenance,
offers commercial span ratings, is resistant to mold, mildew and staining and
available in a broad pallet of colors that do not require painting or staining.
Having Timber Holdings promoting CX for commercial and municipal applications,
will boost brand awareness and elevate CX to the next level in the commercial
and municipal deck, dock and boardwalk market segment. This relationship allows
us to leverage each other`s strengths and talents."
