Green/LEED Info

Recycled Content
Our product is made from stainless steel containing 75-85% recycled content and contributes to USGBC LEED v2.2 Materials and Resources Credit 4.

Recyclability
Steel is the world’s most recycled material, with more steel recycled annually than aluminum, glass and paper combined. Stainless steel is 100% recyclable with no loss in quality, and can be recycled at numerous metal reclamation sites across the country.

Prefabricated to Exact Dimensions
Our system is prefabricated to exact dimensions, minimizing onsite waste and improving the overall environmental performance of our product. Gases and liquids from production are captured and reused and any scrap steel is recycled.

Low Maintenance
Stainless steel is virtually maintenance free, and can be wiped clean of dirt and stains without the use of bleaches or harsh chemicals which have negative environmental impacts. Since our product is brushed longitudinally, exposure to rainwater is typically enough to keep your railing clean throughout years of usage.

Longevity
Due to its durability and corrosive resistance, stainless steel has a much longer life span than other materials, thereby requiring less maintenance and reducing replacement costs. This increases the material usage efficiency and lengthens the life cycle of our product, insuring that you will never need to replace or repair your railing.

Non Corrosive Surface
Unlike carbon steel, stainless steel is non-corrosive, so it won't rust and release potentially toxic elements into the surrounding environment, for this reason stainless steel is the material of choice in highly corrosive coastal regions or areas of high pollution.

No Additional Coatings
Stainless steel requires no additional coatings such as paints, stains or varnishes which can off-gas volatile organic compounds and release toxic chemicals into the environment.
