The Eco-Friendly Choice: Forte Commercial Doors

When you think of doors, you probably picture wood, metal, or glass simply marking the entryway into a space. But doors can be so much more, and they can actually be 

• Champions of sustainability

• Reduce environmental impact

• Protect your building 

• Enhancing efficiency. 

That’s exactly what Forte, formerly known as Masonite, has been doing for over 90 years. Their focus is innovating with eco-conscious practices while never compromising on strength, beauty, or functionality. This article will explore why Forte commercial doors are not just doors, but statements of responsibility and innovation for your business.

Forte has earned a reputation as one of the world’s leading manufacturers of interior and exterior doors. Their products can be found in hospitals, schools, retail stores, hotels, and offices across the globe. But what makes them stand out isn’t just their durability, it’s their commitment to green innovation. By choosing Forte commercial doors, businesses don’t just get top-tier performance; they also contribute to more responsible, sustainable practices in the construction industry.

Forte doors are built with a clear goal: to provide functionality without environmental compromise. Forte sources wood certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), ensuring that forests are preserved, wildlife habitats are protected, and communities benefit from sustainable practices. A business that decides to get Forte doors not only invests in safety but also shows and inspires customers and employees that they are committed to responsible environmental choices.

Many Forte doors incorporate medium-density fiberboard (MDF) made from recycled wood fibers. This reduces waste and extends the lifecycle of wood materials. Forte doesn’t stop at sourcing sustainable materials and has made eco-friendly practices a cornerstone of their manufacturing. MDF has several advantages when compared to other materials. 

• It is affordable 

• Has a great resistance to moisture and wrapping

• Better stability

Forte commercial doors do more than just close off a space, and they actively contribute to a building’s energy performance.

• Exterior doors reduce heat transfer and air leakage, lowering heating and cooling costs.

• Many doors are equipped with soundproofing features, keeping offices quieter and more productive.

• They are fire-resistant and offer security-enhanced options without sacrificing eco-friendliness.

• Forte doors have ISO 9001 certification for improved environmental management.

What happens when a door reaches the end of its use? Forte has already thought about that. Forte encourages customers to recycle old doors through their recycling and disposal initiatives. Also, doors are easy to disassemble, and their components, such as wood and MDF components, can be repurposed. They also provide a door take-back program to ensure proper disposal or recycling.
