VaproShield has been committed to the development and continued improvement of sustainable building materials since the company's formation. Recently, VaproShield's versatile product line was shown to conform to the most rigorous green building standards including: Living Building Challenge, Net Zero Energy House, Passivhaus, COTE/AIA Top Ten Green Projects and LEED Platinum. Designed to be durable and environmentally-friendly, VaproShield products contain zero VOC's, zero Red List chemicals (as determined by the Living Building Challenge) and do not require flammable and/or toxic primers for application.  

"We believe in investing in sustainability," explains Phil Johnson, Managing Partner at VaproShield. "Since the very beginning, we've built innovative products that reduce exposure to dangerous chemicals - and we pride ourselves on that - but we're constantly striving to do better. We continually educate our staff [on sustainability] to ensure our products are on the cutting-edge of green design."   

VaproShield performs regular, voluntary internal audits to guarantee their products are free of harmful chemicals. All VaproShield products are safe to transport, handle and install in all weather conditions. The installation process is proven safe for contractors and does not require the use of safety equipment such as protective eyewear, respiratory masks or gloves. Product features like self-adhering capabilities and zero primer requirements allow for faster, more efficient installation to reduce labor costs and material wastes. 

"Our goal is to make sustainable design easy for people," says Johnson. "So, to achieve that goal, we created an excellent product - something people would want to use - and brought green design into it. Anyone who uses VaproShield products on their construction projects is bringing in eco-friendly design, even if sustainability wasn't the builder's end goal. It's that simple."
