SECTION 0600 00

EXTERIOR TREATED WOOD COMPOSITE PANELS

Specifier Notes: This section covers JELD-WEN, inc. “Extira” exterior treated wood composite panels.

Extira panels are an exterior-grade, treated wood composite panel product for non-structural applications. Extira panels can be used alone when properly finished or they can be used as a component of a finished product manufactured by another company.

Consult JELD-WEN, inc. for assistance in editing this section for the specific application.

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.
