“This quality-verification program is about maintaining a high standard in the industry, but it also is about uniting manufacturers that share this understanding,” said Michael Martin's NWFA president and CEO. “Together, we are building an ever-strengthening program.”

 

According to Martin, NWFA/NOFMA 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 of two times per year to ensure consistent grade standards are met.

 

“We provide air-dried and kiln-dried lumber, and have been exporting to Europe and Asia for more than 30 years,” said Jeff Lewis, president of Lewis Bros. “Although we are new to the flooring market, we are extremely proud of the product that we manufacture. The NWFA/NOFMA certification is another way to show that we are committed to our products.”
