Sustainability
Kroy by Ply Gem can help you meet your sustainable building goals and earn points in leading green building certification programs. Our products offer features that positively contribute to sustainable building practices, improved energy efficiency, or lifecycle benefits of homes. All are important aspects of sustainable building and reflect Kroy's contribution to the Ply Gem Enviro Initiative.
Sustainable Resources SUSTAINABLE RESOURCES:

Recycled Content


National Association of Home Builders Green Building
points are available to builders who choose materials
made with recycled content.

Recycled wood fibers are used in the manufacturing of
Kroy composite products. This process reclaims wood
fiber from different industries, and keeps wood scraps
from ending up in landfills.

Energy Efficiency ENERGY EFFICIENCY:

No Site Finish


On-site finishing requires additional resources and can
lead to an increase in pollutants. Kroy products do not
require on-site finishing.

Home Owners LIFECYCLE BENEFITS:

Lifecycle Analysis


The NAHB rewards builders that select durable products.
Kroy fence and rail are designed to withstand the weather
season after season, and won't rot or degrade like
products made from wood.

Termite Resistant Materials

Sustainability and durability go hand in hand. Kroy products
are manufactured to last. Our vinyl fence and rail and
composite rail products use termite-resistant materials.
This helps contribute to an increased lifecycle and lower
maintenance.
