SWD is committed to promoting environmentally safe products and practices that reduce energy consumption and promote sustainable design.

Polyurethane products used for roofing and insulation have proven to dramatically reduce energy consumption because they provide a continuous sealed air-barrier. This barrier prevents thermal transmission and reduces heat and cooling loss through air gaps. Effective air-barrier solutions, like polyurethane foam, can help reduce a building’s energy use by 40% and reduce a structure’s carbon footprint.

Sustainable design begins with energy savings but it also includes the fact that polyurethane foam reduces landfill waste material. It also means that SWD polyurethane foams are zero ozone depleting, and formaldehyde and VOC free. It allows builders to provide greater insulation in less space, thereby reducing the need for other construction materials.

SWD currently provides polyurethane products which contain more than 25% of content from renewable resources. As the demand for environmentally friendly products increases SWD will continue our commitment to environmentally friendly products that promote sustainable design.
