Eco Doors for Sustainability
As part of our commitment to being a sustainable business with transparent communications about our environmental practices, we are proud to announce that STANLEY Access Technologies is the first automatic door manufacturer to attain Environmental Product Declarations based on a North American Product Category Rule (PCR). Learn more about how STANLEY automatic doors can help contribute to US Green Building Council (USGBC) LEED new construction projects under LEED V4.
LEED credits are unique for each job because they are related to several variables.
Learn more about how STANLEY Access Technologies can help contribute to LEED credits for your project.
Environmental Product Declarations are available for the following products and product lines:
Close to your job site to minimize your carbon footprint- We are the only automatic door manufacturer with 2 US manufacturing facilities; Indianapolis, IN and Farmington, CT, increasing the probability of manufacturing within 500 miles of your project site.
Made from some of the highest recycled content amounts without sacrificing quality or aesthetics- Typical bi-parting slider* can have on average 14.7% post-consumer and 22.1% and post-industrial recycled content.
Our aluminum vendors are ISO14001 and ISO50001 certified to control their energy usage and environmental impacts.
|
A typical bi-parting slider* uses about 55% less packing material then our competitors. We can do this because almost all of our doors are shipped on dedicated trucks, which ensures our products will arrive to the job site as intended - minimizing wasted time, energy and resources caused by damaged products.

| At the end of the product life cycle, we can rebuild the controls and recycle the aluminum, completing the sustainability cycle. |
Optimize Building Energy Performance
The Dura-Glide GreenStar can help optimize building energy performance by minimizing air infiltration by up to 61%* and improving thermal performance with 1" insulated glass.
Consider larger doors, 1" insulated glass, 4" bottom rail, narrow stiles, no muntins and adding a transom. Tie to a third- party air curtain to block up to 80% of air infiltration
*Typical 14' bi-part, 1500 cycles/day compared to Dura-Glide
Improve Indoor Environments
Our doors are painted before shipping, arriving to the site pre-finished. Our finishers' processes eliminate the exhaust of potential pollutants so there are no VOCs or adverse environmental impact.
Increase daylighting/quality views by considering doors that maximize glass through the use of sidelights, transoms, narrow stiles, short bottom rail and no muntins.
The Dura-Glide GreenStar features the GreenFit sealing system to minimize moisture and mold in the building to enhance indoor air quality.
Case Study: Platinum LEED Partnership
STANLEY Access Technologies helped the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center achieve Platinum LEED certification. As part of the mixed-mode natural ventilation system, 18 Dura-Glide 3000 All Glass Sliders were tied in to the air curtain system, which turns on and off as the doors open and close. The project was recently featured in the prestigious Architectural Record magazine for its best-in-class energy and environmental design and features.
