About FGL

Mr. Jeffrey Dunham, founder of Forever Green Laminates (FGL), graduated from the University of Maine Engineering and Forest Product program in 2000, and joined firm in New Hampshire that manufactures and installs Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs). He spent the past eight years working in this industry. From his experience Mr. Dunham determined that there is opportunity to expand the use of composite panels in the building trade.

To this end, FGL provides SIP design and installation services for residential and commercial construction in New England. By working with contractors, architects, and other building professionals, FGL hopes to spread the use of this energy efficient technology.
