TAMPA - June 15, 2009 - From automotive to apparel, opportunities abound for businesses to demonstrate how their products can help consumers "Go Green." The metals service center industry is no different, and McNichols Company is proud to announce its own Green Campaign - "The Green Value of Metal" - aimed at educating and encouraging customers to consider sustainable and recyclable Hole Products.
McNICHOLS offers a variety of sustainable and recyclable products in Aluminum, Plain Steel and Stainless Steel that may help projects achieve a greener design and USGBC LEED credits and certification. A broad range of product lines are available like Perforated Metal, Bar Grating, Wire Mesh, Expanded Metal, Safety Grating, Designer Metals and Stair Treads. Many of McNICHOLS® Hole Products are made with a portion of recycled content, which is a key factor for garnering LEEDS points.
McNICHOLS' most notable impact in green design is its involvement with The Margarido House. Celebrated for its environmental integrity and trendy design, The Margarido House is perched in the Oakland Hills and was the first home in Northern California to be both LEED-H Platinum certified and GreenPoint rated. The most noticeable trait is the home's signature architectural feature, a wing-like metal sunshade made of McNICHOLS® Aluminum Bar Grating.
Why go green with McNICHOLS® Hole Products? Aside from their obvious sustainable and recyclable traits, environmentally friendly designs greatly improve energy efficiency, leading to reduced energy expenses and a reduction in water and waste, thereby improving overall building operating and maintenance costs. Tax benefits may also be available at certain LEED certification levels.
