Lumber is THE renewable resource and we are proud to stock lumber harvested from environmentally responsible & sustainable forests.  

With our FSC Certified product line, we can help you earn LEEDS points in certified green construction.  Please specify “FSC Certified” when ordering your lumber or plywood.

When utilizing principles of green construction, structures are more energy-efficient, healthier to live in, and better for the environment.  Ask your Osborne sales representative on how we can help.  From radiant barrier aluminum backed sheathing to insulation, caulking and adhesives, we can help you save money through energy efficiency.

TAX CREDITS have been expanded, and there are many financial incentives available at federal, state, and local levels.  Click here for a consolidated listing of financial incentives for green building.
