Environment
LAUZON offers the benefits of a fully integrated operation from forest to floor.
This allows us to responsibly manage every aspect of production, ensuring that our sustainable values are a part of every process. We have access to a guaranteed 25-year supply of renewable raw materials from a territory that is one and a half times the size of the state of Connecticut in the USA.
“Embracing environmental stewardship simply makes for sound forestry practices – and it is the right thing to do. LAUZON was doing the right thing for the environment long before it became fashionable or necessary.”
- David Lauzon, President
FSC Certified
The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an international organization that promotes environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial and economically viable management of the world’s forests. FSC is also an international certification and labeling system, which guarantees that the wood products you purchase come from responsibly-managed forests and verifiably recycled sources. When you buy wood with the FSC logo, you’re helping to ensure there will be wood in the forest for generations to come. Presently, all LAUZON solid Maple flooring products are FSC certified (Classics Collection only).
Efficient Sawmills
Our organization’s innovative technology and ongoing improvements have resulted in revolutionary sawmill operations that will impact our entire supply chain by optimizing the yield of every tree. As compared to conventional sawmills, our new highly-automated milling technologies deliver 50% more yield on harvested logs, more more product for less trees. Our sawmill operations are amongst the best performing in the world .
Green Products
We have dedicated years of research and development to all aspects of our flooring manufacturing processes; our efforts have resulted in eco-friendly products that we are proud to offer on the global market. Our hardwood floors can help achieve LEED credits in construction projects, and our finishes contain NO solvents and are free of VOCs and formaldehyde agents. Our engineered flooring uses 42% less wood overall and 80% less hardwood than conventional hardwood floors, making it an exceptionally “green” choice.
Innovation
LAUZON’s Polynium + with Titanium Traffic finish is standard on ALL PRODUCTS. Renowned for its exceptional clarity and resistance to damage, it allows the wood’s original beauty and vibrancy to shine through, along with:
- Long-lasting abrasion resistance to maintain the wood floor’s original appearance – more resistant than any other leading brand
- An easy-to-clean surface which uses nanotechnology to quickly disperse surface dirt
- A 25-year wear-through finish warranty
- A 5-year wear-through finish warranty for light commercial applications
FIRST hybrid sawmill in North America
Our sawmill operations include a revolutionary hybrid sawmill which has set the foundation for LAUZON’s future development strategy. The Thurso sawmill hardwood converting process is unique in North America. It accelerates our ability to expand our product range at highly competitive prices worldwide, to reduce product turnover time in the chain of custody, to change over to a “Just-in-Time” production cycle when necessary, and to provide the level of service which defines a world-class corporation.
FIRST to efficiently re-use all residue
Sustainable resources and other initiatives to support LAUZON’s “No Waste” policy include large recycling mills that convert leftover wood residue into energy to fuel the company’s kiln-dryers or to be transformed into valuable wood pellets for re-use as a heat source in pellet stoves. These wood pellets offer the highest BTUs and the longest and cleanest burn; a practice that pays off in huge benefits to the environment.
FIRST grading system of its kind
LAUZON has perfected a unique computerized grading system with a Photo Image Optimizer, the very first fully automated and computerized wood grading system in the world. This innovative high-speed photographic image optimization system ensures an unparalleled level of consistency in the classification and grading of wood resources.
