Let us LEED You To Success!

LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design has been around for 12 years, and is an internationally recognized standard that establishes green strategies for energy savings, water efficiency, carbon dioxide emissions reduction, and improved indoor environmental quality.

LEED certification is based on 100 points with only forty needed to become certified. These points are awarded according to sustainability (26), water efficiency (10), energy and atmosphere, (35) materials and resources, (14) indoor environmental quality, (15) innovation in design (6) and regional priority (4). So it isn’t that difficult to get in the LEED, but it may be hard to be gold or platinum certified, because you need upwards of sixty points.

LEED lasts throughout the entirety of a building’s existence – from design and construction, to maintenance and redevelopment. It isn’t only for commercial services, either. LEED can be applied to residential structures and schools. And it doesn’t have to be applied to the whole building; LEED can certify a four floor area.

So if you want the transparency involved in determining the construction of a project, we offer doors compatible with LEED standards, without minerals and particles, with AgriFibers and renewable materials. Drop by www.DoorStopNY.com today to get in the LEED!

Welcome to The Door Stop Blog!

First of all , it’s our blog, so let’s talk about us for a sec...

We are a third generation door company that provides customizable doors for your business needs. We want your company to feel safe and comfortable while working with us, and when you do, you will be satisfied enough to return to our products in the future.

Throughout the tri-state area, we have been expanding, and most recently we have opened a new office in Carlstadt, New Jersey. So besides installing doors in some of Brooklyn and Manhattan’s most exciting new projects, we installed doors in the Empire State Building, which is a symbol of our affiliation with, and love for, New York City.

Today, we’re leading the way in Green door technology. We want you to see for yourself just how Door Stop is making a difference. We comply with LEED standards, which are set by the government agency the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) in order to improve energy savings, water efficiency, carbon dioxide emissions, and overall door quality.

We want to thank you for working with us, and if you’re not yet, join us to realize your custom constructed door dreams! Keep checking in on our blog for useful tips and ideas about what kind of doors are right for you. “Right Door. Right Here Right Now.”
