NEW TABLETOP OPTIONSin an effort to make a larger impact on the overall health of our planet and to offer our customers

the widest variety of furniture solutions, we are excited to offer several green options for many of

our tables and library end panels. With an increased emphasis on indoor air quality we have begun

offering the option for some of our products to be manufactured with no added urea Formaldehyde

(nauF) and have sought the option of FsC certification to ensure the smallest carbon footprint

possible. as a rapidly renewable material that is harder and lighter than most hardwoods, our new

bamboo option is as durable as it is environmentally friendly. Contact your local Bretford sales

associate to find out more about our nauF, FsC and bamboo options.

Bretford has earned gREEnguaRD Certification for many of its tables and accessories used in

commercial business and education facilities. Through this designation and in partnership with

facilities managers, designers, architects, and dealers, Bretford is helping to create healthier learning,

meeting, and working environments, particularly for children. By specifying or installing Bretford’s

nationally accepted benchmark towards the design, construction and operation of green buildings.
