Green From the Ground Up: 3 Eco-Friendly Products That Make a Big Difference

When you think of environmentally friendly home features, solar panels and smart thermostats might come to mind first. But at A&S Homes, we know that true sustainability starts at the core—with the materials used in every build.

That’s why we partner with companies who share our values and are just as committed to reducing environmental impact. From windows to paint to the protective layers in your walls, these everyday materials are doing more than their job—they’re helping build a greener future.

Here are three often-overlooked, eco-conscious materials that make a lasting difference—for your home and for the planet:

It’s Not Just a Window

Windows do more than bring in natural light—they play a vital role in your home’s energy performance. Our homes feature high-efficiency windows from All Weather At Home, a company known for putting sustainability at the heart of everything they do. These windows aren’t just stylish and durable—they help reduce energy use and support a more comfortable, climate-conscious home.

It’s Not Just Paint

Low-impact living includes the finishes you choose. We choose Cloverdale Paint for their strong environmental commitment. Through innovative programs that promote recycling and reuse, they help keep leftover paint and materials out of landfills—proving that even a fresh coat of paint can be a step toward a cleaner planet.

It’s Not Just a Wrap

What’s behind your walls can make a world of difference. Behind every A&S wall is the unseen work of DuPont materials, designed to protect your home while supporting sustainability. Their focus on reducing waste and rethinking how materials are made helps us build smarter, longer-lasting homes.

 

A Lighter Footprint, One Home at a Time

Every one of these materials is Green Bow™ Approved—a designation we give to partners and products that meet our high standards for sustainability, performance, and environmental responsibility.

This Earth Day, we’re proud to continue building homes that leave a lighter footprint—one window, one wall, one coat of paint at a time.
