Whether you’re a homeowner looking to conserve energy or a contractor adding credits toward a project’s LEED certification for sustainable development, Century Building Materials is your go-to source for green building materials and environmentally-friendly products.
Going green isn’t just good for the planet. It also helps builders comply with eco-friendly government regulations and can even reduce home or business costs over time.
We carry a wide range of earth-friendly products. Our green products enhance the look and function of your home or business while helping the environment. Some of our products include permeable pavers that ease pollution and water run-off, insulated windows that reduce energy use, and durable, green-certified lumber.
Permeable Pavers
Permeable pavers are among our best-sellers for eco-friendly products. Designed with pre-set spaces between the stones, they allow for faster, easier drainage with less run-off. This reduces the load on local drainage and water treatment systems and decreases the pollutants picked up by run-off. Installing permeable pavers can save you money and protect your property by stopping erosion and reducing or eliminating the need to install catch basins, piping, or a run-off capture system. If you need installation, Century Building Materials is well-versed in local drainage requirements and can install your permeable pavers to meet these specifications.
Energy-Efficient Windows
A greener home or business needs greener windows. It’s estimated that up to 20 percent of a building’s heat is lost through its windows. New, energy-efficient windows, like our Harvey Windows, Mi Windows and Doors or Marvin Integrity products, can reduce heating and cooling costs and conserve energy in general. Both companies are committed to eco-conscious practices, incorporating sustainably grown wood or recycled materials.
Pressure-Treated Lumber
Our Koppers (formerly Osmose) MicroPro® MCA pressure-treated lumber is resistant to corrosion, termite damage, and fungal decay. It holds UL Greenguard Gold, Home Innovation NGBS Green, SCS EPP, and Global GreenTag certifications. Durable, long-lasting MicroPro treated lumber is warranted for interior and exterior above-ground use, ground contact, and water immersion.
