LEED Points for 3D Laminates

The question is often asked "Does your product qualify for LEED Points?"

LEED doesn't certify actual products however the use of certain products may qualify the project to earn these LEED points.

Of course 3D Laminates is a great product for large projects. Read more at: http://www.dackor.com/3DLaminatesaregreen.html

3D Laminates:
- Reduce the use of exotic hardwoods
- Utilize MDF which is uses recycled or low priority wood chips
- helps facilitate LEED points

The easiest LEED points that can be generated using 3D Laminates are the following:

MDF Core & Particleboard made of Recycled Content (20%): 2 points
No Added Urea-formaldehyde Resins in MDF & Particleboard: 1 point
Final product (i.e. finished kitchen) manufactured within 500 miles of the jobsite: 1 point
