Welcome to the first edition of our online newsletter Building Solutions For Today's Generation.  You'll find information on the latest products, building trends, market forecasts and top websites to visit, here and on our website, www.nassausuffolklumber.com.

Green is Going Mainstream - Is Your Business Ready?
Wagner Photo"Green" is the new industry buzzword and consumer surveys suggest that homeowners are becoming increasingly interested in green building options.  Green may mean different things to different people, but to most homeowners it relates to saving on utility costs and protecting the environment for future generations.  How is this best accomplished?  By using recycled materials, new materials with recycled content, building products from sustainable forests such as bamboo flooring, energy star appliances, etc.

Join us Thursday, May 8th for a presentation and discussion on constructing homes with materials that are energy conscious, renewable and environmentally friendly.  Presented by John D. Wagner, Green Editor, LBM Journal, an expert in green and sustainable building practices.   

The event features AIA/CEU seminars for architects and clinics for building pros - click here for the day's events.

Mouldings - Making the Move from Lowly Base to Crowning Achievement
Nassau Suffolk Lumber MouldingOnce found in only high-end custom homes, decorative moulding is now finding its way to even the most modest homes in the area.  With more and more homeowners deciding to upgrade their current home rather than moving, mouldings such as crown, chair rail and wainscoting are updating dining rooms, kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms and more!  Typically a low cost item, moulding can become a high-margin product for your company if installed and marketed properly.      

Nassau Suffolk Lumber & Supply has a virtually endless selection of moulding profiles in many wood species, as well as PVC, composites and flexible mouldings ideal for curved and radius applications.  Most non-stock profiles are also typically available in 2-3 days!  Download our full catalog here.
