Feather River Doors has been “Green” since long before it became the
current fashion. We have always been committed to environmentally
responsible products and practices.
WE PREFER DURABLE TO CONSUMABLE
Feather River Doors has engineered new industry standards in quality.
Our Fiberglass entry doors have a lifetime warranty and are virtually
maintenance free.
ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY INSULATION
We use a CFC-free foam core in our fiberglass doors
- Ozone friendly
- Better insulating than either wood or steel doors, reducing energy costs and carbon emissions
- We have ENERGY STAR® qualified models available in every state.
MOLDED OPENINGS
90% of our decorative fiberglass doors have molding lite-openings,
- Traditionally, most manufacturers use cut-outs to install doorlites, instantly compromising the moisture barrier, stability and structural integrity.
- Cut-outs can be as much as two-thirds of the original slab, and they usually end up in landfills as pure waste.
- The costs savings in materials and waste-management mean Feather River Doors molded openings provide a competitive edge in both cost and quality.
RECYCLING
Feather River Door Company’s employees are rewarded for their
recycling efforts, ensuring maximum participation. Wood, paper,
metal, plastics, packaging, etc., - the majority of our waste-steam is
re-deployed into other valuable recycling and re-manufacturing uses,
not into landfill. This philosophy applies in our offices as well as on
the manufacturing floor.
REDUCING FUEL COSTS
Feather River Door Company has manufacturing and distribution
hubs around the country, minimizing transportation requirements,
fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
FEATHER RIVER DOOR SUPPORTS LOCAL WILDLIFE
We volunteered to participate in a species-restoration project at our
Headquarters property in Frederickson, Washington. The Western
Bluebird project, begun by wildlife biologists on nearby Fort Lewis,
installs bluebird nest boxes in this important habitat area. Nest boxes
at our site are monitored and maintained by Audubon Society
volunteers. Down to just one breeding pair in all of Western Washington during the 80s, a core population of several hundred
Western Bluebirds can now be found again in this portion of their
native range as a result of these cooperative local efforts.
