Environmentally Responsible Shutters

TFA The Responsible Choice in ShuttersToday, it's more important than ever to select products for your new home or your green home remodel that are environmentally friendly and completely safe for you and your family. Insulated shutters made from green building materials, engineered wood products, or recyclable building materials are your best bet.

That's why Danmer developed Thermalite. Our concern for the environment and the preservation of our natural resources was the driving reason to find a substitute for wood shutters that used energy efficient building materials.

Thermalite Shutters are the only 100% non-toxic, flame retardant, water-resistant synthetic material that looks and feels exactly like wood.

Materials

Look for non-toxic shutter materials in keeping with green building standards.

  • Premiere tight grain 100% engineered hardwood
  • FSC and SFI certified wood available
  • Thermalite™ non-toxic shutter finish and synthetic material
  • Non-toxic formaldehyde free glues

Paint and Stain Finishes

  • Danmer's proprietary paint and stain finishes are environmentally safe, non-toxic, water based, and low voc
  • All finishes exceed what is required by regulatory agencies AQMD and Ozone Transport Commission (OTC) for VOC emissions 

Energy Efficiencies

  • Thermalite™ shutters are 3 times the insulation of wood for the most energy efficient homes possible
  • Hardwood shutters insulate more than draperies or energy efficient blinds to support energy efficient homes and energy efficient buildings
