 At
The Molding Depot, “building green” is important to
us. It’s also important to our customers. From our Tampa,
Florida headquarters, we are committed to doing our
part so that, whenever our customers wish to do so,
they can move toward environmentally conscious, “green”
building practices.
Not
only is building green great for the environment, but
it also helps save money and materials. Whether you
are building a green home in Clearwater or a green office
complex in downtown Tampa, the concept of building green
is a win-win situation for everyone involved, from architects
to contractors and owners to tenants.
Products
from The Molding Depot promote the “building green”
movement in several ways, such as:
-
Saving energy with high-performance windows and doors
-
Using materials that are low-emitting in chemicals
and pollutants
-
Selling products made with recycled or recyclable
materials
What
are some other ways in which The Molding Depot can assist
you with building green in Tampa, Florida and beyond?
We can help you by supporting your efforts in FSC certification
and LEED certification.
FSC
certification is regulated by the Forest Stewardship
Council. Products with the FSC label have met rigorous
standards in the way wood is cultivated. When you see
the FSC label on a product, it means the wood used to
make that product was cultivated without hazardous pesticides.
FSC also makes sure that tree harvesting is respectful
to natural habitats and indigenous peoples around the
world.
The
Molding Depot also carries LEED certified products that
can help you earn credits toward LEED certification.
LEED stands for the Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design Green Building Rating System. LEED provides contractors,
architects, owners, and operators with a system of credits.
These credits rate a building’s impact on the environment.
So, for example, when you install LEED certified windows
to increase energy efficiency, you can earn credits
toward LEED certification.
For
more information about building green, buying FSC certified
products, and buying products that will help you earn
credits toward LEED certification, please call, e-mail,
