Green Building

Our commitment to environmental responsibility is evident in what our windows are made of, how we make them, and what they can do for the home

• Ultrex takes less energy to make than vinyl and is made from silica sand - a safe and renewable resource
• All of our plants have extensive recycling and pollution prevention programs – we log everything that we consume and waste and participate in yearly audits to ensure we are on target with our environmental goals
• The Ultrex fiberglass used to construct Integrity windows and doors provides superior stength, heat, UV and corrosion-resistance to deliver a durable and resilient product that can far outpace other materials.
• Low E II coated glass is standard on all of our windows – allowing us to meet Energy Star qualifications in all four zones
• Internal standards for environmental goals that go above and beyond local, state and federal regulations
• Annual environmental plant audits for over 15 years to ensure we are meeting or exceeding our environmental goals
• Window packaging includes recyclable corrugated cardboard and biodegradable banding
• Our fleet of diesel trucks contain regulators to ensure our emissions are below required levels
• Reduced local energy consumption by utilizing our own generators during peak winter and summer days – we even burn sawdust to help heat our plants in the winter
