Gorell Double-Hung Windows Earn Green Seal™ Certification

Gorell Windows and Doors have announced that five of its double-hung replacement window models have earned Green Seal certification. The company says that Gorell is one of only two window companies that has had its products certified by Green Seal, an independent, nationally recognized non-profit green organization based in Washington, D.C.

Some of the Green Seal criteria pertains to material extraction, manufacturing processes, usage and recycling/disposal. Other criteria such as U-value, solar heat gain coefficient, product packaging and labeling and manufacturing and testing procedures all played a role in the Gorell products achieving Green Seal certification.

"For all our replacement double-hung models to be certified by Green Seal says a lot about Gorell and the products we manufacture," says Wayne Gorell, president and chief executive officer. "Practically every manufacturer claims to be 'green,' but this achievement, along with five straight years of ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year awards, prove we truly are committed to helping to protect the environment by manufacturing highly energy-efficient, green products."

Gorell adds that the Green Seal identifies a product as environmentally preferable, provides third-party corroboration of environmental claims and distinguishes a product from competitors that can't support their environmental assertions.
