Timeless Double-Hung Windows Now Green Seal™ Certified!
Timeless Plus and Timeless double-hung replacement window models made by Gorell Windows & Doors have earned the prestigious Green Seal certification. Products earning Green Seal certification are recognized for saving energy compared to traditional windows and being more environmentally preferable because they’re manufactured using quality control practices. Gorell is one of the few window companies to have its products certified by Green Seal, an independent, nationally recognized non-profit green organization based in Washington, D.C.
These certifications reflect the significantly high levels of performance and quality of these Timeless windows, as well as other Green Seal standards pertaining to:
- Material extraction
- Manufacturing processes
- Usage
- Recycling/Disposal
The Green Seal certification process is a long and comprehensive one, and Timeless products were certified only after rigorous testing and evaluation, which included an on-site plant visit. Criteria such as performance ratings (U-value, Solar Heat Gain Coefficient, etc.), product packaging and labeling, and manufacturing and testing procedures all played a role in the Timeless products achieving Green Seal certification.

WHAT IS GREEN SEAL?
Founded in 1989, Green Seal provides science-based environmental certification standards that are credible, transparent, and essential in an increasingly educated and competitive marketplace. The organization’s industry knowledge and standards help manufacturers, purchasers, and end users alike make responsible choices that positively impact business behavior and improve quality of life.
A 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, Green Seal issued its first environmental standards in 1991-92, and the first product certifications were completed in 1992. Hundreds of products and services from major companies have now been certified to meet Green Seal standards, and the number of major product categories covered by standards has increased to more than 40.
Green Seal has established a significant market among large institutional purchasers, including government agencies, universities, and the lodging and architectural building industries. It actively advises and assists these institutions and industry sectors in their efforts to green their purchasing, operations, and facilities management functions.
WHAT IS GREEN SEAL?
The Green Seal says that a product or service has been tested according to science-based procedures, that it works as well or better than others in its class, and that it has been evaluated without bias or conflict of interest. The Green "Seal of Approval" has come to stand for reliability, fairness, and integrity.
Green Seal's evaluations are based on state-of-the-art science and information using internationally recognized methods and procedures. To earn the coveted Green Seal, a product must meet the Green Seal environmental standard for the category as demonstrated by rigorous evaluation, testing and a plant visit. The Seal provides a business advantage, for it identifies a product as environmentally preferable, provides third-party corroboration of environmental claims, and distinguishes a product from competitors that can't support their environmental assertions.
