At Blockhouse, we’re part of a core group of forest products companies with a vision and commitment to conserve our resources for the benefit of future generations. Protecting the environment, creating a desirable habitat for wildlife and conserving the forest resource through better timber stand management are all-important policies that Blockhouse takes very seriously.

Other Important Facts
In an ongoing effort to provide long-term cost savings and extend product life, Blockhouse offers its patented Key-Loc reversible cushions system. Furniture with removable covers and replaceable cushions extends the core product life cycle by more than 100%. Re-upholstery rather than total product replacement avoids deposits into already overloaded landfills and extends your capital expenditure for a better “Product to Dollar Ratio.”
