Building a Greener Future: How Kelly-Fradet Lumber Champions Sustainability Through Strong Partnerships

At Kelly-Fradet Lumber, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword; it’s a responsibility we take seriously. As a trusted name in building materials, we believe that quality products should support not only great homes, but also a healthier planet. That’s why we proudly partner with leading brands that prioritize environmentally responsible practices.
Here are just a few standout examples of how our partners are making a real impact:
Therma-Tru Doors: Recycling at the Core
Over 50% of fiberglass end rails from Therma-Tru Doors are made from more than 90% recycled material. This commitment to using reclaimed resources helps builders reduce waste and carbon footprints, without compromising the durability or design homeowners rely on.
Trex Company: Turning Trash into Treasure
Trex decking is made from up to 95% recycled materials, including reclaimed wood and plastic film. In fact, Trex takes things a step further with their NexTrex® Recycling Program, which allows consumers and retailers to recycle plastic film through designated drop-off locations. It’s a great example of a circular economy in action, where waste becomes the foundation of something new and beautiful.
Andersen Windows: Innovation Through Reuse
Andersen Windows incorporates up to 40% reclaimed wood fiber in its exclusive Fibrex® composite material. This not only reduces the demand for virgin raw materials, but also creates a highly durable and energy-efficient product that lasts for decades.
Marvin Windows: Designed for Durability and Environmental Stewardship
Marvin is committed to sustainability through responsible material sourcing, energy-efficient design, and reducing environmental impact across their operations. Their windows and doors are built to last, reducing the need for replacement and waste, and many Marvin products meet or exceed ENERGY STAR® guidelines. The company also focuses on reducing manufacturing waste, conserving resources, and creating long-term value through innovation. Plus, Marvin’s use of sustainable wood and low-VOC finishes contributes to healthier indoor air quality.
At Kelly-Fradet, we believe that choosing sustainable building products shouldn’t mean sacrificing performance or aesthetics. Thanks to our innovative partners, you can build smarter, live greener, and make a lasting difference, one project at a time.
