Buchanan Hardwoods (Aliceville, Ala.) has earned the National Wood Flooring Association/NOFMA Mill Certificate for its Elite Flooring.
The company has been in the lumber industry for 75 years and the flooring business since 1999. It owns or manages 100,000 acres of timber land in the South. Its hardwood timber for lumber and flooring production is sourced from the Tombigbee River Basin in Alabama to the Appalachian Mountains.
"The NWFA/NOFMA Certification is valuable to our business relationships with our customers," said Buchanan General Manager Doug Fikes in a statement. "It provides an extra level of confidence that what we produce is equal to their expectations."
The certification shows that a manufacturer's wood flooring meets or exceeds the industry standards for grade, configuration, moisture content and average board length. Certified mills are inspected a minimum two times per year.
"We are happy to present this certification to Buchanan for its Elite Flooring product line," NWFA President and CEO Michael Martin said. "The company's addition to NOFMA, which has existed for more than 100 years, is another demonstration of the value of the program."
