Sustainable Design
Save Energy, Money and the Environment
From glazing options that maximize energy efficiency and personal comfort, to reducing natural resource
consumption through sustainable-growth woods, we're working hard to do our part to conserve the environment.
Our product evolutions include recyclable materials like glass, vinyl and wood, plus utilization of low volatile
organic compound paints and sealants. Building green with Weather Shield saves money too.
Weather Shield Environmental Stewardship
Weather Shield not only encourages environmental stewardship among the building and design community, but it
also demonstrates its environmental commitment through company-wide manufacturing practices, such as:
• Recycling of paper, wood, glass, vinyl, chemicals, aluminum and other metals. This accounts for 500-600
tons of solid and hazardous waste per year.
• Incorporating renewable resource utilization practices (raw materials reuse and fuel programs) throughout
the manufacturing and logistics processes.
• Training employees in environmental awareness.
• Using low-emitting volatile organic compound (VOC) and hazardous air pollutant (HAP) coatings.
• Meeting or exceeding all applicable environmental standards and regulations.
• Developing and maintaining strong relationships and communications with federal, state and local
government agencies.
Helping Your Projects Earn LEED® Certification
More and more businesses are choosing to build, buy, or rent facilities that meet the green building
standards set forth by LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), a program of the U.S.
Green Building Council. LEED certification is awarded based on credits earned in a variety of areas,
from energy efficiency to stewardship of resources to overall building performance. Using Weather
Shield windows and doors, which exceed the performance guidelines of the National Fenestration
Rating Council (NFRC) and ENERGY STAR®, can help you obtain LEED certification on your project.
Call 800.538.8836 or email us at archservices@weathershield.com.
Forest Stewardship Council
The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an independent, non-profit organization established to
promote the responsible management of the world’s forests. Weather Shield is proud to offer FSC
chain-of-custody (COC) certified wood on all our windows and doors constructed with wood.

Positioned for the Future
When some in the industry reeled during the most recent
downturn, Weather Shield consulted with dealer partners
to re-tool product lines for future growth.
We invested over five million dollars in improving our
products and processes to be ready for the market
rebound, positioning our company – and our customer
partners – to take advantage of the recovery.
Our latest Innovation,
the TriCore™ Frame System
• Protects Windows from Weather Damage while Improving
Energy Efficiency
• Extreme Thermal Barrier – resists temperature transfer and
improves thermal performance
• Moisture-Resistant Sub Frame – eliminates the chance of
main frame rotting or deteriorating
• Fusion-Welded Sub Frame – virtually eliminates water and
air infiltration at the frame or sash joints
• Foam-Filled Weather Stripping – creates a weather-tight
seal between the sash and frame
Weather Shield windows and doors meet the anticipated Energy
Star 2015 standards with performance glass options that already
exceed these stringent new requirements.
