Sustainable Materials in Plumbing

Did you know ELMDOR Access Doors meet LEED, and other "Green Construction" criteria? ELMDOR/STONEMAN, one of the many sustainable plumbing divisions from ACORN ENGINEERING COMPANY, manufactures an extensive line of access doors and roof flashing made from pre and post-consumer recycled stainless steel material. Elmdor/Stoneman is known throughout the building industry as having the widest variety of standard access doors of any manufacturer. Fixtures made from this material are virtually indestructible, and provide many years of maintenance-free service. Plus, at the end of their long life, materials are in turn recyclable. This stainless steel “footprint” results in a net savings to the environment as well as providing a long-term monetary savings for customers.

Elmdor/Stoneman’s nationwide distribution network plus strategically located warehouses allow for effectively delivery to satisfy our customers' requirements. Products ship efficiently from factories in North America to ensure products travel a shorter distance with minimal impact on the environment. Whether specifying a new building project according to LEED standards, or retrofitting an exiting construction to be more eco-friendly, Elmdor/Stoneman stainless steel products add to a green infrastructure.

• Recycled Content, specify 10% - 20%.
• Local/Regional Materials, 10% - 20% manufactured locally
