GREEN BUILDING

A Better Way to Build

Plum windows make your home part of a greener and brighter future. Long lasting. Energy-efficient. Made from 10% recycled material. These are just a few among several reasons that Plum windows are Green Build Certified.

The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System is a voluntary, consensus-based national rating system for developing high-performance, sustainable buildings. LEED addresses all building types and emphasizes state-of-the-art strategies in five areas: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials and resources selection, and indoor environmental quality.

Our commitment to environmental responsibility is two-fold: How our windows are made and what they can do for your home.

Eco-friendly Manufacturing and Delivery

• Fiberglass takes less energy to make than vinyl, plus it’s made from silica sand – a safe and renewable resource.
• Window packaging includes recyclable corrugated cardboard and biodegradable banding.
• Our fleet of diesel trucks contain regulators to ensure our emissions are below required levels.
• We recycle all the old windows and doors that we replace.

Benefits of Green Homes

• The fiberglass used to construct Plum windows and doors provides superior strength, resistance to heat, UV Rays and corrosion, when compared with other materials. Here in the desert, where extreme temperatures are prevalent, installing anything but fiberglass is simply irresponsible.
• Low E3-coated, dual-pane glass is standard on all of our windows – allowing us to meet Energy Star qualifications in all four zones.
