Extruded Aluminum: The "Go-To" Choice in Green Building

PRLog (Press Release) - Dec. 20, 2011 - Aluminum windows and doors are an excellent choice for homeowners who want to do something good for the environment. Why? Aluminum is recyclable, sustainable and versatile, making it a perfect option for people who want to go green when building their dream homes. Heritage offers doors and windows made with extruded aluminum – the choice in green building. Visit http://www.heritagewindows.com or call 480-892-2600 today to learn more about our environmentally-friendly, energy-efficient windows and doors.

Aluminum has a low impact on the environment.  According to the Aluminum Association, it is the most commonly recycled post-consumer metal in the world.  Aluminum's widespread recyclability, combined with other inherently cost-effective characteristics, make it the ideal sustainable material for green building. In addition, the extrusion process makes aluminum unparallelled in design versatility, performance and affordability – unlike many other green building options. And at the end of the life cycle of a building, all of the aluminum used in construction is 100% recyclable and safe for use in new components – without any loss of quality. Now that's green!

Heritage Designs Energy-Efficient Doors and Windows with Extruded Aluminum Frames

At Heritage, we built a reputation for being green - even before it was popular - through our environmentally-conscious designs. Our energy-efficient windows have been on the cutting edge of the industry for the past 30 years. As early as the 1980’s, Heritage was one of the first manufacturers to use low-E glass in our doors and windows. In the 1990’s we designed continuous spacers, which allow the use of argon gas in our double glazed units. In 2001 we developed a line of thermally broken windows and doors for maximum energy efficiency. Today, we offer a variety of energy star products, are a proud member of the USGBC (LEED), and use between 30-40% recycled aluminum in our frames. At Heritage, we are always finding new ways to make our products more environmentally friendly, more energy efficient and – well, more green.
