Choosing Wood is Best for the Environment

In the market for a natural investment, such as hardwood? You’ve come to the right place. At Green Ridge Forest Products, we proudly support the RAHC, a voluntary, industry-wide, domestic initiative that seeks to promote Real American Hardwood™ products. 

Hardwood gives the most sought-out aesthetic looks on the market. In fact, there are hundreds of products out there designed to look just like hardwood, but are made from non-renewable materials.

Here’s how hardwood, the most natural investment you can make, pays off. 

1. Hardwood is versatile

While there are many reasons to choose hardwood, one of the most popular is its versatility. Hardwood matches nearly any design style, and makes it look even more elegant. You have many options when it comes to hardwood, as well! Whether you want a natural wood-look or want to refinish it to match your color preferences, the possibilities are endless. 

After a few years, you may want to change up the look of your home, but aren’t sure where to start. Hardwood can be refinished in different shades to change the look of any space!

Hardwood truly adapts with you and your style as you grow. There’s never a wrong choice when you go with the most natural investment on Earth!

2. It’s durable

Hardwood is naturally more durable than many products on the market due to its slow-growing properties. When cared for correctly, hardwood can last over 10 years! 

While many second-guess the use of hardwood in the home, it’s durability is something to greatly consider. It’s an investment that pays for itself over the years, and one that will last you many of them.

3. It’s good for the environment 

As we’ve mentioned, hardwood is the most natural investment you can make. Hardwoods are essential when it comes to protecting our environment. 

As a naturally renewable source, they benefit the environment as they grow, producing many benefits such as reducing water pollution and providing habitats for wildlife.
