At Berlin Myers Lumber we are proud of the good care we give to our customers and to our environment. We know that our Berlin G. Myers Lumber Corporation customers are well aware of the cost and construction advantages of building with wood products. Sometimes we forget that wood is naturally reusable, recyclable, and biodegradable.
Wood is the best insulator of all structural building materials.
Because of this it requires less energy to heat and cool a home built with wood and therefore helps us conserve the coal and fossil fuels that are used to provide this energy for heating and cooling. Also it takes much less energy to change trees into wood products than it does to manufacture steel, aluminum, masonry or plastic products. The conversion process causes less pollution as well. Wood is a renewable resource. Once they are used, they are gone forever.
