Environment

Sustainable design principles have a wide range of applications but their objectives are simple, reduce the use of non-renewable resources and minimize environmental impact.  Recognizing that we are just one part of a collaborative process, Dynamic has responded to these important challenges with a common sense approach that maximizes both economic and environmental performance.  

Wood

Dynamic supports responsible forest management and offers Forest Stewardship Council (FSC™) certified wood species.   As an approved manufacturer, we are able to provide the FSC™ Chain-of-Custody certificate number for products manufactured from Alaskan Yellow Cedar, Douglas Fir, Accoya or Genuine Mahogany.   Dynamic also offers a way to avoid using any newly cut timber by searching the continent and purchasing rare reclaimed timber (available upon request and subject to market availability).

Steel
A material renowned for it’s strength and durability, steel is also the world’s most recycled resource. Compared to other materials, steel requires relatively low amounts of energy to produce and has the longest product life of all window substrates.

Recently introduced to North America, Dynamic’s Steel-Arte thermally broken steel window system out-performs its competitors in both thermal performance and lifecycle, enabling home owners to save energy while heating and cooling their homes.

NFRC Tested Products and Coatings
Dynamic can maximize the energy performance of your windows and doors by offering a variety of  NFRC tested products that meet or exceed the requirements of the ENERGY STAR for Homes National Builder Option Package.

Reduce odors and off-gases using Dynamic’s water based low-VOC compliant paints and stains that meet or exceed most green building codes and standards.  The use of our low-VOC Kynar Aquatec coating can extend a building’s lifecycle and reduce maintenance costs.

Environmental stewardship remains a core value in both Dynamic’s materials and manufacturing process. Help preserve the environment and feel good about your choices.
