what’s new

Fairfax Green™, by Fairfax Lumber & Hardware, is a program to provide green building products and information to our customers. It is the convergence of four ideas — conservation of natural resources, increased energy efficiency, improved indoor air quality and the release of fewer toxins into the environment. It is our effort to provide sustainable and healthful choices in choosing products in lumber, building materials, plumbing, electrical, coatings, and garden and nursery areas. This is our part about helping to build a more comfortable, healthful and durable home that costs less to maintain. We have established the Fairfax Green logo to identify those products throughout the store, nursery and lumber yard that represent our industry’s response in developing products that are renewable, biodegradable, use resources more efficiently and create less waste and pollution. Look for the logo for valuable information about these products.
