Environmentally Friendly Windows

We are committed to being an environmentally responsible company. We have examined every aspect of our business and made changes to become more "green". Read about our efforts below!

Are vinyl windows "green"?

Vinyl is a superior product to wood in windows

• Doesn’t cut down trees
• Doesn’t rot
• Holds color better than wood
• Doesn’t require harmful paints or stains
• Product life cycle is much longer = lower consumption/less replacement

Recycled vinyl can be “repurposed”

• Into other vinyl parts (decking, mulch, etc.)
• 99.9% of vinyl is repurposed

Vinyl is a superior thermal product

• Thermal properties do not deteriorate over time
• Better air ventilation
• Minimizes mold and mildew
• Superior thermal efficiency

What has Lindsay done to become more "green"?

• Installed energy efficient lighting in entire production and warehouse areas
• Moved to smaller, more efficient offices
• Encouraged the use of Low-E glass
• 99.9% of the vinyl windows Lindsay Minnesota made last year had Low-E
• Recycling
• We recycle approximately 1000% more than we did 3 years ago
• 99.9% of inbound material is used in a product or recycled
• Vinyl, Glass, Aluminum, Cardboard, construction materials, and paper are all recycled
• Implementing program to increase recycling even further

I've seen information about a Green Seal, what does that mean?

Green Seal is a small non-profit organization with voluntary membership. Every single Lindsay window with Low-E glass SURPASSES the requirements of Green Seal.
