- Mannington manufactures only engineered hardwood flooring products as opposed to solid wood flooring. Engineered construction is a more efficient use of natural resources.
- Logs are rotary peeled on a lathe using a knife instead of a sawblade, thus eliminating the “kerf” sawdust waste.
- All process wood waste is burned to create process steam to heat the logs, dry the veneer and heat the buildings at the mill.
- Mannington’s high quality face ply veneers are purchased from mills located in the northern United States. Innerplies are produced from logs harvested within 100 miles of the Epes, AL mill.
- All finishing system components are made of 100% solids and contain no VOC’s (volatile organic compounds).
- Hardwood veneer layers are bonded with a water-based, solvent-free, formaldehyde-free adhesive.
