Better for the environment. Better for you.
Our energy-efficient, low-maintenance exterior solutions reduce energy consumption and minimize construction waste due to upkeep or repair.
We’re making a conscious effort stay on the forefront of industry standards for sustainable design-build solutions.
We help to reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills by:
• Working with waste-disposal companies that will recycle our roof
• tear-off materials.
• Participating in a pallet-recycling program.
Additionally, we offer products that:
• Meet EnergyStar® performance, reducing heating and cooling costs.
• Can contribute to USGBC LEED® certification.
• Offer low-maintenance, sustainable solutions.
• May qualify for rebates with local electric companies.
• Are manufactured from recycled or natural materials.
• Minimize the amount of construction waste that ends up in landfills.
And, we’re proud to offer five product lines making great strides in developing environmental friendly solutions:
• EMCO Steel Siding premium collections are coated with an ENERGY STAR® compliant paint finish. Their coatings also contain Cool Paint™ Technology. This advanced coating is designed for superior energy performance by using reflective pigments in the paint to help reduce the energy consumption. Plus, steel siding is 100% recyclable at the end of a long useful life.
• LP SmartSide® composite siding products are engineered using a non-
toxic process and are 100-percent silica-free.
• CertainTeed, an ENERGY STAR® partner, has a long-term commitment to sustainable manufacturing and developing new products that enhance the energy-efficiency of homes and reduce their impact on the environment. CertainTeed produces high-quality, aesthetically appealing, sustainable roofing products.
• Timberline® Prestique® Cool Color Series shingles from GAF-ELK feature reflective granules that bounce back the sun’s rays and more effectively release absorbed heat. They are rated by the Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC) and meet initial Energy Star® performance levels.
• IKO Cambridge and Aristocrat product lines are the first in the asphalt
roofing industry to receive independent verification of recycled content
from the Scientific Certification Systems organization.
• Rubber roofing panels for roof gardens that reduce water run-off and heat gain for maximum energy efficiency.
We choose to work with product manufacturers and suppliers who are doing their part, too, by concentrating on better and smarter manufacturing techniques to reduce waste.
Some practices include:
• Using on-site renewable energy manufacturing plants such as photovoltaic or cogeneration systems.
• Programs to reduce energy and water consumption during the
manufacturing process.
