LEADING GLOBAL CHANGE IN THE WAY PEOPLE BUILD & LIVE

At Fortress Building Products, we strive to be designers of change — not just in the industry, but also in the lives of those around us. That starts by taking care of our world. From the reused, recycled and renewable raw ingredients like bamboo we use to create our products, to the solar power we harness to manufacture it (and the countless trees we protect from felling), we are proud to offer you holistically sustainable cladding.

ECO-FRIENDLY COMPOSITION & PRODUCTIONIn our factory nothing is wasted. This means that every bit of leftover material is put back into the manufacturing line to be recycled and made into something new and sustainable. The process is pollution free, and no greenhouse gases are emitted. Plus, not a single tree is cut down for the purpose of producing Fortress® cladding boards.

MADE WITH SOLAR ENERGYWe believe that how we manufacture is just as important as what we manufacture when it comes to going green. That’s why we’ve traded in fossil fuels for renewable energy. Our products are now manufactured using solar power to the fullest extent nature and weather support. We are fully committed to bringing you a product that’s truly environmentally conscious.


TOXIC

TOXIC

MADE WITH RECYCLED PLASTICSingle-use plastics are choking our oceans. Once in the water, plastic never fully biodegrades. Fortress® composite cladding products are made up of 60% bamboo fibers and 40% recycled plastics, which would otherwise end up in landfills. Last year our composite products repurposed the equivalent of 500 million plastic bottles.

MADE WITH FSC BAMBOOBamboo is strong, safe and sustainable. This fast-growing grass has a greater tensile strength than steel, and can withstand compression better than concrete. It grows extremely quickly – without the need for pesticides or chemical fertilizers. Bamboo keeps our soil stronger, our air cleaner and our environment healthier.

LEADING GLOBAL CHANGE IN THE WAY PEOPLE BUILD & LIVE

NO HARSH CHEMICALSFortress cladding is free of toxic chemicals and preservatives normally used for the treatment of natural timber. Plus, our award-winning products are designed to last for years to come without the need for stains, sealants or other environmentally harmful chemicals.


Fortress® cladding gives your rainscreen assembly the warm aesthetic of wood, enhanced with the enduring performance of composite. Our eco-friendly cladding is UV, fade & weather resistant with rich colors that stay vibrant through the life of the product. In fact, our outstanding warranty covers performance, stains, and fading. Fortress cladding installs easily with standard tools, methods, and labor. It’s ready to go with short lead times and global availability.

A different kind of cladding needs a different kind of fastener. Fortress® HULK products were developed using state-of-the-art technology and manufacturing methods. They work in perfect synergy with our cladding boards, and they are extremely durable and corrosion resistant for long term applications.
