Versatex Earns Green Certification

Versatex Trim Board, manufactured by Wolfpac Technologies, Inc,  has earned certification from NAHB Green Approved Products http://www.greenapprovedproducts.com/FindProducts.aspx/. Versatex now is the only PVC trim manufacturer that can claim both the NAHB Green Approved Products and National Code listing via CCRR-#0149.  Versatex can also contribute LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) points in three different categories.

Versetex is a Cellular PVC Trim product that offers many advantages to homeowners and builders:

• VERSATEX has a more compact cell structure than most other brands, leaving smoother cut edges.
• VERSATEX PVC Trim accepts paint better than other brands.
• The sun can yellow PVC trims. VERSATEX stays whiter than the others.
• The surface of VERSATEX is tested tougher, and it stands up to scuffs and dents better as well.
• VERSATEX offers a cut-to-length program to eliminate waste, and factory-packed mixed widths packaging for a wide variety of dealer needs.

Schutte Lumber in the Kansas City Star

TGIF! In honor of the upcoming weekend, we wanted to share an article with you from the Kansas City Star in which Editorial Page columnist Lewis Diuguid describes his 10-day quest to restore the oak woodwork in his 84-year-old Northeast Kansas City home during his “vacation”.

On his blog, Diguid writes, “this massive home-improvement project is for all of those other urban pioneers out there needing an outlet where others can hear and appreciate your screams from chemical burns, near misses with hand or power tools and general frustration with the heat, humidity and daunting tasks that no one sane person should ever undertake.”

The editor-turned-remodeler bought red oak from where else, but Schutte Lumber. To read more about his trials and tribulations, check out “Stripping: Far Too Late to Turn Back“.

Happy Memorial Day from Schutte Lumber

Happy Memorial Day to our dear clients, friends and readers.

The best part: Regardless of the combination of recipes you choose, everything goes together!
