At PANDA DOORS & WINDOWS, we are dedicated to environmental stewardship in all we do. We pride ourselves on our forward thinking approach to all aspects of our business and the green movement is no exception. In joining the global effort to protect our earth and its resources, we restructured our everyday operational practices and approach to the design and manufacturing of our products. We absolutely strive to reduce, reuse, recycle and design systems that are optimally efficient. We take every step to produce the highest quality windows and doors therefore reducing the need for replacement and the strain of consumption. We recycle all aluminum and wood waste created in manufacturing as well as glass, paper, solvents and motor oil.
Aluminum is the optimal choice for windows and doors for numerous reasons. It has excellent thermal conductivity – it spreads heating and cooling energy evenly and quickly. Aluminum can easily be reclaimed and recycled into new products and it rates very high in the Life Cycle Assessment. In addition, many of our products are available with a thermally broken frame which resists the transfer of cold and heat from the outside to the inside of the frame. This, in addition to our use of insulated glass, reduces the need for air conditioning and heating.
Lastly, all of the lumber used in our product line is FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified and all wood finishing materials are environmentally friendly. You can feel great knowing that you have purchased products that are beautiful, highly functional and environmentally sustainable!
