Sustainability has become a way of life for many of today’s consumers. They make an effort to buy greener, healthier and more sustainable products from greener companies, as each purchase made has health, environmental, and social impacts.
As a company, Twin Cities Siding & Roofing chooses to work with manufacturers that have made aggressive strides to reduce their carbon footprint, in all operations, throughout their supply chain. It begins with the raw materials that are collected from the earth, to the manufacturing processes, the packaging, the use and ultimate disposal of the product, and it includes the transportation and distribution requirements throughout the lifecycle.
At James Hardie, sustainability is a defining characteristic of who they are and how they do business on a daily basis. Their commitment is reflected in all aspects of their operations, from beginning to end. Durability, sustainability and a factory-finished coating are just a few important factors in James Hardie’s commitment to green building practices. Did you know?
“The single most important factor in green architecture is durability. If you want something to be green it has to last a long time. It has to handle water, heat and UV radiation. Fiber-cement siding handles all three exceptionally well.”

One of our favorite Marvin tag lines is this – We make products able to withstand the power of the great outdoors, while preserving the natural resources from which they were made.
Marvin has a long history of product innovations, industry firsts and commitment to community. They take pride in the fact that their corporation is green-minded with recycling efforts and employee awareness. Marvin incorporates green components into their product packaging and their distribution process. Beyond that, being green is also about conserving energy—and Marvin Windows and Doors are energy efficient.
“We are always striving to be better, more efficient, and of course more sustainable. It’s a proud part of our culture and will continue to be for generations to come.” Susan Marvin, Past President Marvin Windows and Doors
Marvin is recognized for innovative products and uncompromising product performance standards. Here are just a few examples of their commitment to manufacturing green:
GAF prides itself on its commitment to sustainability in all aspects of its business. They make every effort to not only promote recycling, efficiencies, and material optimizations, but they use their industry leading roofing knowledge to educate the contractors they work with and their customers in these areas as well.
Here are just a few ways that GAF has incorporated sustainability into its practices:
Long-lasting, durable, maintenance-free building materials are often as eco-friendly as it gets. And while natural stone would seem to fit the bill, it’s important to keep in mind that stone quarrying has both aesthetic and environmental impacts on the earth, including erosion. It can also require a good deal more energy to transport to job sites because of its weight. Plus, as a natural product, it’s also a finite resource.
As a result, engineered stone can provide an eco-friendly building alternative. For more than half a century, Coronado Stone has produced premium engineered stone veneers. Engineered stone veneers are designed to not only beautify spaces but also take care of our shared environment. To that end, here are just a few of the ways that they accomplish this mission:
On Earth Day 2019, TimberTech opened a new 100,000+ square foot recycling plant that transforms shampoo bottles, milk jugs, plastic wrap and more into their signature composite decking material. In its first full season of operation alone, TimberTech is expected to recycle 55 million pounds of plastic. In addition, TimberTech’s Azek Pavers are made from 95% recycled materials, and the core of all composite PRO and EDGE deck boards is made with 100% recycled resin. They are committed to doubling their recycled inputs for all capped polymer materials by 2020
So, there it is in a nutshell, why we believe in these products, and why we chose these companies to partner with. Sustainable products protect the environment over their whole life cycle, from the extraction of raw material until their final disposal. And if we are lucky, such products will help us build a better world for future generations.
