Duramar TFL panels are specification-ready for LEED v5 ID+C.
Our composite wood substrates comply with CARB Phase 2 / EPA TSCA Title VI formaldehyde standards, qualifying as low-emitting materials under MRc3 — one of the most direct credit contributions available for interior casework.
Wood fiber in our panels also supports your embodied carbon documentation under MRp2, and FSC-certified substrate options further strengthen your MRc4 product sustainability credits.
