GREEN BUILDING
NEW TRIM EZ PRO SERIES EASY ON THE ENVIRONMENT
Studies show that “green”
building is projected to be a growing segment of the U.S. economy as
consumers look to live and work in more sustainable environments as they
continue to be more environmentally, economically and socially conscious.
Growth in this emerging market is expected to double in both the residential
and non-residential sectors in the coming years.
Keeping ahead of this
curve, ZāGO is introducing a new line of affordable, decorative flexible
trims and mouldings to meet the needs of today’s “green” building and design
professionals.
SUSTAINABILITY
Our new Trim EZ Pro Series
flexible trims and mouldings provide the look and appeal of beautifully
carved wood without cracking, rotting or chipping and can be used indoors or
outdoors in place of, or as an accessory to, wood. The Trim EZ Pro Series is
more flexible and more durable than ever before and can be easily bent or
shaped for any curved or rounded application. Our flexible trims and
mouldings are low maintenance and can be painted or stained with
environmentally safe products such as water-based paints to create any
desired finish and compliment any room.
DURABILITY
Made to last, our new
flexible trims and mouldings are made with a more durable material that can
be used in new construction or re-modeling as well as for the utilization of
re-used products to meet green building material or resource requirements.
AIR QUALITY & ZERO VOCs
Made from a high-quality
polymer composite and not from wood, our finished products are free of VOC
emissions. Trim EZ Pro Series replaces wood trim and moulding products that
can attract or support rot and insects and therefore may decrease a need for
chemical treatments or applications that can be harmful to the environment.
As a result, these factors can assist with improved air quality and to meet
green building material or resource requirements and credits.
DOING OUR SHARE
As Trim EZ Pro Series
flexible trims and mouldings are made from a high-quality polymer and not
from wood, no trees are lost in the process. And with any new order, we’ll
plant a tree in honor of the customer with the
Arbor Day Foundation to help bring America’s National Forests back
to life.
