California Closets(R) and Roseburg Announce Eco-Friendly Option for Home Storage

SAN RAFAEL, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 19, 2006--California Closets(R), the leading designer of home storage solutions, today announced it has added Roseburg Forest Products' SkyBlend(TM) particleboard to their product line offerings. SkyBlend is a Scientific Certification Systems (SCS) certified, 100% pre-consumer recycled wood fiber particleboard that has no urea formaldehyde added during the manufacturing process, making it California Closets' first "green" product offering.

"California Closets' adoption of SkyBlend panels is 100% the result of our clients requests for more eco-friendly products," said Anthony Vidergauz, president and CEO of California Closets. "We are all responsible for the environment that we share, and California Closets is committed to continually increasing its green footprint in the years to come."

“Their adoption is further validation that a move toward more green offerings is not only eco-friendly, it is business-friendly.”

Third-party testing verifies that SkyBlend formaldehyde emissions (0.00 - 0.01 ppm) are not greater than levels occurring in outdoor ambient air conditions. California Closets uses SkyBlend as a low emitting core for mixed loads of Roseburg Melamine panels, which are just one of the many product options available to customers for California Closets' well-known home storage solutions, including closets, home offices, kitchens, garages, and entertainment centers.

As the leader in the custom storage industry, California Closets is constantly developing products and distribution outlets to satisfy its customers. Currently the premium priced SkyBlend product panels are available in White, Almond, Maple, Cognac, Candlelight, Chocolate Pear Tree, Quiet, Pearwood, Rustic Cherry, and Ivory.

"We are excited that California Closets has incorporated SkyBlend into their varied product line," said Rick Troxel, manager, specialty products development at Roseburg Forest Products. "Their adoption is further validation that a move toward more green offerings is not only eco-friendly, it is business-friendly."

SkyBlend combines low emission standards, certified recycled content and sustainable raw materials, with the reliability and proven industry track record of wood-based particleboard and Roseburg Forest Products. Using SkyBlend can contribute to achieving leadership in energy and environmental design (LEED) credits.
