ECTION XX XX XX

This document should be used by the manufacturer that will be incorporating JELD-WEN, inc. Extira exterior treated wood composite panels into a component of a finished product.

This document includes the text that should be added to the guide specification in Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) Format prepared by the manufacture of the finished product. The guide specification should be written according to the CSI 3-Part Format, including MasterFormat, SectionFormat, and PageFormat, as described in The CSI Construction Specifications Practice Guide.

Address all questions and comments regarding this document and JELD-WEN, inc. Extira composite panels to:

JELD-WEN, inc., 825 Shiner Road, P.O. Box 311, Towanda, PA 18848. Toll Free 800-255- 0785. Website www.extira.com. E-mail [email protected].

Specifier Notes: Extira panels are a green product.

Sustainable Materials: No old growth wood is used in the manufacture of Extira panels. They are made from wood that is of no commercial timber value and is the byproduct of other operations. This leftover wood is also detrimental to the overall vitality of the forest. All wood comes from an area within a 200-mile radius of the Towanda, PA production facility. The facility uses 100% northern hardwoods, which includes maple, beech, oak, and other species. Extira panels are treated with zinc borate, an EPA-registered biocide and a naturally occurring earth chemical that is environmentally safe and ensures protection against termites.

No Added Urea Formaldehyde: Extira has no added urea formaldehyde. This is certified by Scientific Certification Systems under certificate number SCS-NAUF-01802. Through repeated testing by the Composite Panel Association (CPA), Extira has demonstrated formaldehyde emissions equivalent to background levels found in the environment.

Complies with CARB: Extira panels are acknowledged by the California Air Resources Board’s (CARB) Airborne Toxic Control Measure (ATCM) 93120 to utilize exempt status ultra-low emitting formaldehyde (ULEF) resins.
