Special-Lite Doors Earn GREENGUARD Certification

Special-Lite, a Decatur, Mich.-based manufacturer of entrance systems, recently announced that the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute (GEI) awarded the company the GREENGUARD™ Indoor Air Quality Certification for its entrance systems. According to Special-Lite, the award makes the company the first line of commercial door and frame products to meet the GREENGUARD standards for low-emitting products.

The GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality Certified® Special-Lite doors and frames were tested to GEI's testing procedures and will continue to be monitored for emissions performance.

"We are proud to have earned GREENGUARD Certification for our door products," said Dan Depta, Special-Lite manager of marketing. "Exterior doors, though they may not immediately come to mind when considering indoor air quality, nonetheless play a role in the quality of indoor air, since one side of every exterior door is inside the building. The corrosion resistance and durability of our doors with fiberglass reinforced polyester (FRP) skins also make them ideal in pool areas, locker rooms, showers and boiler room, which are clearly interior locations."
