April 15, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
Bedford, NH- Coastal Forest Products, New England’s source for wholesale lumber and specialty merchandise, announces the recent product distribution addition of CertainTeed WeatherBoards. With several benefits to CertainTeed WeatherBoards, Coastal appreciates and looks forward to sharing this value with their customers. As one of the select few wholesalers to distribute CertainTeed WeatherBoards, Coastal Forest Products increases the accessibility of superior merchandise to New England’s independent retailer base.

Providing a solid alternative to the market, CertainTeed WeatherBoards offer an enhanced wood grain appearance with a practical solution to several building needs. This line of lightweight, high-quality fiber cement product is designed to sustain all of the elements, while providing variety to match every project’s unique design requests. Not only are CertainTeed WeatherBoards a choice product; but because it is produced with fly ash and not sand, there is less than 3 percent of silica; a tremendous benefit for the health and safety of installers.

Manufacturing a product with significantly reduced percentages of silica is safer for installers to handle and is better for the environment. By utilizing the excess fly ash from coal burning plants instead of the industry’s conventional sand ingredient, CertainTeed manufacturers its WeatherBoards products using a durable material once discarded and sent to crowd a landfill. By exploring innovative ways to create cement fiber products, Coastal Forest Products sees great value in distributing a product that is safe for both the industry’s professionals and the environment.

“Another aspect of CertainTeed that Coastal sees merit in, is their support of a two step distribution and understanding of the independent dealer base,” says John Mosowitz, Marketing/Training Manager at Coastal Forest Products. “With a mutual commitment to safety and sustainability, we know that we are distributing a product with a similar philosophy to our own. Sharing that mutual understanding is important to Coastal.”

Coastal Forest Products has been New England’s exclusive source for wholesale lumber since 1983. As a leading wholesale distributor of Cedar, Fir, and a myriad of other specialty products to the retail lumberyard, Coastal provides high quality product and expertise to the independent lumberyards throughout New England.
