Green Building Materials

If you’re in the market for windows or doors, look for the Energy Star ratings, which are awarded to products that meet strict EPA energy efficiency guidelines. Kitchen & bath cabinet suppliers are doing their part by introducing lines of environmentally sound products that use highly sustainable and/or recycled materials. Decking and trimboard companies are creating long-lasting, rot-resistant composite materials, which consequently stay out of the landfills; they are also reclaiming other resources that were headed to the landfill by using recycled goods in their composites. Insulation & builder paper is the perfect choice for keeping your home protected from leaks and drafts, which cause higher heating and cooling costs. Green building supplies are not only good for the environment, but they also make economic sense!
