PremierGarage, the nation’s largest garage enhancement provider, makes it possible for homeowners to get the garage of their dreams, without concerns about harming the environment. The company’s innovations in floor coatings and wood cabinetry put them at the forefront of environmentally-conscious design for those looking to transform or remodel their garage.
The company’s PremierOne® Floor Coating Systems were uniquely and purposefully designed to be less hazardous than traditional flooring systems by using chemical technology that contains zero VOC. All of the chemicals used are non-flammable and non-hazardous to people, pets and the Earth. To put the impact of this earth-friendly initiative in perspective, last year the company coated 8 million square feet of green floors, which is the equivalent of circling the earth 1.5 times.
“We have been making environmentally friendly design and supplier choices for years, well before ‘green’ became the big buzz word it is today,” said Mark Loberg, founder and CEO of PremierGarage. “We all play a part in preserving the environment for future generations. At PremierGarage, we work hand in hand with our franchises and suppliers to continually seek more resource-efficient products and approaches.”
Controlling indoor air pollution, which the EPA cites as being potentially more harmful than outdoor air pollution, is also being addressed by PremierGarage. When the California Resources Board (CARB) adopted a regulation to limit emission of formaldehyde in composite wood products, PremierGarage quickly became compliant not only in California, but in all of its markets. Additionally, the company’s wood supply partner is also compliant in Phase 1, and has a plan and product in place for Phase 2, that will set aggressive limits for emissions of composite and hardwood panel products.
PremierGarage also encourages consumers to do their part by offering pull-out recyclable storage bin systems to help homeowners organize and sort their recyclables. Further, the company saves trees by putting its major product brochures online only, and uses soy ink in the printed materials it does produce.
PremierGarage continues to investigate new ways to save resources and energy as it advances the state of garage enhancement. Visit PremierGarage.com/Green to learn more about the company’s line of eco-friendly products.
