Maximizing Yield, Minimizing Impact
People want to know where wood comes from, how it is sourced, and what the real environmental impact is. Architects and interior designers need factual information they can present to clients with confidence.
Here is what we have figured out: you don’t have to choose between beautiful materials and responsible ones. SanFoot natural wood veneer delivers both, supporting architectural sustainability efforts without compromising design goals.
Getting More from Each Tree
Our patented slicing process completely changed our approach to veneer production. We now extract approximately 300% more yield from every log. One tree gives us what three used to provide.
The environmental benefits are clear, but there is a practical side too. Higher yield means materials stay available even when certain species get harder to source. Pricing becomes more predictable when we are not wasting wood.
How We Pick Trees
We focus on getting the best veneer yield with minimal environmental impact. Plantation-grown trees work well when we can source them because they don’t put pressure on natural forests.
In some cases, older trees from responsibly managed forests are selected because they are being crowded out by younger, more vigorous growth, a process that actually supports overall forest health.
FineTec Recons give designers access to rare wood aesthetics without actually using endangered species. You get the look without contributing to depletion, which matters for both environmental impact and long-term material availability.
The Certifications That Actually Matter
Jacaranda Inc. is dedicated to protecting the global environment. Our SanFoot products show this commitment. They meet tough safety and environmental standards that matter to today’s architects, designers, and builders.
SanFoot helps meet building codes and ensures healthy indoor air quality. It has a Class A Fire Rating with no formaldehyde. Installed with low-VOC adhesives that are compliant with the U.S.G.B.C.’s LEED® Environmental Quality Credit 4.1
Our certifications include FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council), EPD® (Environmental Product Declaration), LCA Certification (Life Cycle Assessment – also known as life cycle analysis – from cradle to grave), and VOC compliant – accredited certification to the MAS Certified Green® Program.
Making Sustainability Actually Work
Sustainable materials only make sense if they perform. SanFoot natural wood veneer meets demanding durability standards while delivering the high-end aesthetics designers expect, with no compromise on either front.
When eco-friendly materials meet the same performance standards as traditional options, architectural sustainability becomes practical rather than aspirational. The installation process by skilled painting contractors mirrors standard wallcovering applications. This practical approach removes barriers that sometimes prevent sustainable material adoption on projects.
That’s the difference between sustainable design that works and design that’s just a nice idea. Ready to explore smarter, sustainable options? Browse our complete project collection to see what’s possible.
