Environmental Philosophy

We recognize that preserving natural resources by minimizing adverse environmental impact is vital, and we are committed to providing all of our customers with high-quality, environmentally-friendly products.

We have a longstanding commitment to conserving natural resources and protecting the health and well-being of our customers by:

• Reusing and recycling materials and creating products that are recyclable.
• Developing products that are safe for their intended use and will not adversely affect indoor air quality.
• Striving continuously to create new green products and make current products more environmentally efficient.
• Keeping customers informed of the full environmental benefits of products and how to incorporate them into new projects for potential LEED credits.

Indoor Air Quality

We are dedicated to indoor air quality. Over the last several years, much attention has been focused on air pollution. Until recently, few scientists paid much attention to the quality of air within homes and other buildings, despite the fact that U.S. government research indicates that people spend approximately 90% of their time indoors. In many cases, the air within buildings can actually be more polluted than the air outside. Given the amount of time most people spend inside, the potential exists for a health related disaster.

Causes of Indoor Pollutants

Poor indoor air quality can be caused by asbestos, formaldehyde, household cleaning chemicals, lead, nitrogen dioxide, radon, tobacco smoke, breathable particles and biological pollutants like bacteria, mold, mildew and fungus.

Part of the Solution

Our products emit no volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) including formaldehyde, respirable particles, ozone, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, and carbon dioxide.
