MATERIAL CONTENT AND PROCESSING Building in sustainability from the start
In many ways, materials play a critical role in sustainable design throughout their life cycle:
- Material conservation. Minimizing material overuse can cut waste while reducing transportation costs.
- Recycled materials. All of our aluminum extrusions are made from recycled aluminum.
- Safer composition. We’re committed to using finishes free from Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs).
PACKAGING Reducing jobsite clutter
Our innovative packaging techniques reduce material use, transportation costs and jobsite recycling—all while protecting the products themselves. We use automated shrink-wrap technology to significantly reduce the use of cardboard cartons, allowing installers to see the products before removing the protective packaging.

We offer the performance that sustainable buildings need in order to meet the strictest LEED criteria.

END OF LIFE Creating a “cradle-to-cradle” life cycle
