We believe that aesthetics transcend physical appearance. The story of a material, where it’s from, its environmental footprint, and the social impact are all elements that affect how we see a material and the feel that material brings to a space. While helping to preserve tropical forests by providing an alternative to tropical hardwood panels, Sisalwood simultaneously provides quality employment to significant numbers of people in developing countries. The final product is an aesthetically compelling green building material which may be used toward Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification.
