GORELL DOUBLE-HUNG WINDOWS EARN GREEN SEAL™ CERTIFICATION
Gorell’s replacement double-hung window models have been certified by Green Seal™, an independent non-profit greenorganization based in Washington, D.C. Gorell is one of only two window companies to achieve this honor. Green Seal uses stringent standards to ensure that certified products have attained high levels of performance and quality. The organization evaluates products in terms of material extraction, manufacturing processes, usage and recycling/disposal. The certification process is a long and comprehensive one. Gorell windows were Green Seal certified only after rigorous testing andevaluation. The process included on-site plant visits by independent examiners. Criteria such as performance ratings (U-value, Solar Heat Gain, etc.), product packaging and labeling, and manufacturing and testing procedures all played a significant role in Gorell products becoming Green Seal certified. “Green,” highly energy-efficient Green Seal™ certified Gorell windows:
• Save energy compared to traditional windows. • Have a lesser adverse impact on the environment. • Are manufactured using quality control practices. At a time when so many companies claim that they and their products are “green,” the GreenSeal program stands out as an excellent program for separating true green products from those that have merely jumped on the bandwagon. If you want “green,” energy-efficient products, such as windows, for your home or personal use, Gorell recommends that you look for the emblem designating Green Seal certification. It’s an excellent measure of how environmentally preferable a product truly is.

Green Seal was recently recognized on NBC’s Today Show in a segment that addressed “green washing” and how to determine if products are truly better for the environment.
