Sewell Shutters Power Point Presentation

1. Go Green Shutters is the manufacturer of THERMOWOOD and BASSWOOD Shutters. THERMOWOOD looks and feels like BASSWOOD (Solid wood like) shutters, but they are made from a solid, non-toxic, recyclable, environmentally "green" synthetic material. Because THERMOWOOD is made from 100% recyclable synthetic, no natural resources are damaged in the manufacturing process. Our shutters are water resistant, fire retardant and provide great insulating power. Our Go Green Shutter’s warranty is so strong, it’s actually transferable, thereby increasing the resale value of your home. Plantation shutters, unlike other window coverings, are an investment in your home. Make sure you look carefully, not only at the high quality product and various pricing options that you have, but also at the reliability and integrity of the company you choose do business with. Go Green Shutters are not only better for the environment, but they also add a sustainable touch to eco-friendly interior design. Some shutter companies have adopted a few green practices, while others, such as Go Green Shutters , have wholeheartedly created an underlying sustainability platform. For example, by eliminating the dangerous indoor off-gassing that comes from lacquer-based paints, Go Green Shutters finishes its THERMOWOOD with a water-based, environmentally-friendly coating that contains zero and ultra-low volatile organic compounds. We are virtually eliminating hazardous air pollutants without sacrificing the durability and performance of solvent-based coatings. It's not only good for our customers but also for our employees. We also made a substantial investment in very sophisticated manufacturing equipment which maximizes the yield from each component and has allowed us to reduce waste by 10%-15%. Even metal paint cans and shipping straps are recycled. Production schedules are adjusted to allow more energy to be transferred to the grid during critical peak usage hours during summer months. To reduce energy usage, Go Green Shutter’s factory uses high-efficiency lighting and computer-controlled systems that come on only when needed. For example, our dust collection systems, air compressors and blower systems cycle only as needed.
