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.

GOING GREEN WITH BASSWOOD SHUTTERS INSTALLED IN 3 WEEKS For those who prefer the natural appearance and texture of basswood shutters, Go Green Shutters is manufacturing basswood, one of the most eco-friendly window treatment available. Most shutters today are made out of Basswood, a lightweight, sustainably-harvested hardwood that does not warp, is naturally low in sap content and is recyclable, biodegradable and renewable. For each tree harvested, at least six more are planted. Basswood shutters are an energy-efficient window treatment that provides insulation during hot an cold weather as well as UV protection, which shields furniture from the damaging sun. Some shutter companies have adopted a few green practices, while we have wholeheartedly created an underlying sustainability platform. (e.g. we are eliminating the dangerous indoor off-gassing that comes from lacquer-based paints. We finish our painted and stained shutters with a water-based, environmentally-friendly coating that contains zero and ultra-low volatile organic compounds (VOCs). We have virtually eliminated hazardous air pollutants without sacrificing the durability and performance of solvent-based coatings. Why are our basswood shutters so eco-friendly. They are made from sustainably harvested Basswood. Ask us about our sustainable forestry policy. Water-based coatings that have ultra-low or zero VOCs. What makes our basswood shutters different? They are put together with a mortise & tenon joint, louver lock tension system, superior light contol. Platinum coat finish.

At Go Green Shutters, we want to help the Earth be strong and live long! So we wanted to give a few tips on how you can help be Earth friendly so we can have fresher air and cleaner water for generations to come.
TOP FIVE WAYS TO SAVE ENERGY:
UNPLUG IT!! Appliances and equipment that are plugged in are still sucking
power even though they’re off (think cell phone chargers, toasters, lamps). Turn
off power strips when not in use to reduce “Vampire Power”.
Install a PROGRAMMABLE THERMOSTAT or in the summer, keep your thermo-
stat at least 78 degrees while you are at home and at least 85 degrees when
gone; in the winter, try 68 when you’re home and 60 when gone. Watch your
energy bills drop!
Replace your AIR FILTER at least every 3 months. A blocked filter can cause higher energy costs and system damage.
SEAL IT UP to avoid intruding air. Replace weather stripping. Seal windows seams. Add extra insulation in attics and in walls.
Turn your HOT WATER HEATER DOWN to 120 degrees. The water will still be hot but your energy bill will be much lower.
TOP FIVE WAYS TO SAVE WATER:
TURN IT OFF!!! Turn off water when brushing your teeth.
Take SHORTER SHOWERS! You’ll save water and the energy used to heat it!
Extra payoff: And by taking shorter showers, you'll conserve 350 pounds of
CO2 and keep about $100 in your pocket each year.
Install a LOW FLOW SHOWER HEAD , one that puts out less than 3 gallons per
minute. They still have great pressure but conserve gallons of water from each
shower.
Install an EFFICIENT TOILET . New toilets use around 1.6 gallons per flush. Find out if you qualify for a voucher from the City of Dallas that helps homeowners and apartment managers/owners purchase water-saving low-flow toilets.
WAIT UNTIL IT’S FULL . Run the washing machine and dishwasher only when they’re full… and don't prerinse dishes (a waste of time, water, and energy). Extra payoff: By skipping pre-rinse, you'll save 200 pounds of carbon dioxide from being released and $40 a year.
TOP FIVE WAYS TO CLEANER AIR:
TUNE-UPS AND TIRES . Keep your vehicle in tune, get it inspected, and check the
air pressure in your tires. An under inflated tire will cause your vehicle to get
poor gas mileage. Extra payoff: You’ll increase the life of your vehicle, get
better gas mileage and clean the air at the same time. Proper tire inflation can
reduce your car’s emissions by as much as half.
REPORT SMOKING VEHICLES . Call #SMOKE. The North Central Texas Council of
Governments will advise vehicle owners of possible emission problems they may not be aware of in order to take corrective action.
SHARE. Carpool or use public transportation. Extra payoff: Fewer vehicles on the roads mean fewer emissions. You’ll save a few bucks in gas and not have to search for a parking space.
DON’T TOP OFF. Topping off the tank releases gas vapors in the air and cancels the benefit of the pump's anti pollution devices.
WAIT ‘TIL THE PM. Do not fuel your vehicle or mow your lawn during morning hours. Otherwise, all those emissions bake in the sun all day causing more ozone.

WHY RECYCLE ?
Preserves natural resources…recycling the print run of a single Sunday
issue of the New York Times would spare 75,000 trees.
Recycling one ton of aluminum saves four tons of bauxite.
Using recycled paper, 60% of the water normally needed in paper
manufacturing is saved.
By using recycled steel, there is a 40% water savings.
Reduces pollution…manufacturing products from recycled paper
reduces water pollution by 35% and air pollutants by 73% .
Using recycled steel in manufacturing cuts down on 76% of the water pollutants, 86% of the air pollutants and 97% of the mining wastes normally generated in manufacturing new steel.
Reduces need for landfills…in the US, landfills include more than 80% of all solid waste.
Landfills are ticking time bombs – producing unknown gases and chemicals into the air.
Recycling helps to reduce landfill space and disposal costs.
Reduces litter…litter is a costly as well as unsightly problem that US tax payers pay for.
$500 Million are spent each year to pick up litter by crews along state highways across the United States.
Reduces energy consumption…making new steel from old steel scraps offers up to 75% energy savings.
Producing aluminum from scraps instead of bauxite ore cuts energy use by 95% .
Paper recycling saves up to 70% of the energy needed to create paper from new timber.
Less energy consumption = Less air pollution and less mercury
