Building Green -  Better for the Environment and Homeowners

Marlette and Fleetwood Homes are committed to supporting green construction to conserve resources and protect the environment. That's why we use products from suppliers in our homes that can contribute credits which can eventually achieve LEED certification for the home.

Green products used in our construction include:

• Greenfiber insulation
• National Gypsum wallboard
• Shaw flooring
• USG sheetrock & interior finishing systems
• Owens Corning insulation
• Sierra Pine: MDF (100% pre-consumer recycled wood fiber)
• Formica counter top laminates

Green construction is an idea that is here to stay. American's homes use about 25% of all the energy used in the United States and about 75% of the water. Green construction simply means using smarter building methods and more energy efficient materials to save money and to reduce the impact on the environment.

The benefits are significant:

• Cleaner air inside your house means a healthier environment for your family
• Less waste of materials, helping to keep costs down
• Better energy efficiency which can significantly lower your utility bills
• As builders of manufactured homes, we have always focused on efficient use of materials. At our plants, we have developed innovative ways to reduce waste and use less energy to build top quality homes.
