Sustainability in Craftsmanship: How We Merge Tradition with Innovation

In the world of architectural hardware and luxury sliding doors, true craftsmanship lies in balancing heritage with progress. At Industrial Brands, we believe that preserving the artistry of early 20th-century design while embracing forward-thinking, sustainable practices is not just a choice — it’s a responsibility. In today’s world, sustainability is no longer a trend; it’s a necessity.

Our commitment to eco-conscious materials, energy-efficient manufacturing, and long-lasting design reflects how we seamlessly merge timeless tradition with modern environmental stewardship.

Eco-Friendly Materials: Honoring Tradition with a Sustainable Edge

Craftsmanship begins with thoughtful material selection. At Industrial Brands, we source responsibly harvested, recycled, and low-impact materials to ensure our products meet the highest environmental standards, without compromising design integrity or quality.

• Recycled Metals: We incorporate recycled steel, aluminum, and brass into our hardware and sliding door systems whenever possible. These materials reduce dependence on virgin resources while maintaining strength and visual appeal.
• Certified Sustainable Wood: Our sliding and barn door systems utilize wood from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)-certified forests, ensuring responsible harvesting that supports healthy ecosystems.
• Low-VOC Finishes: We apply low volatile organic compound (VOC) coatings that enhance durability and finish while minimizing harmful emissions and improving indoor air quality.

By prioritizing sustainable materials, we uphold a legacy of craftsmanship aligned with the values of modern environmental design.

Energy-Efficient Processes: Where Tradition Meets Technology

Sustainability extends beyond materials — it’s woven into every phase of our process. We work closely with our manufacturing partners to reduce energy consumption, minimize waste, and streamline production without compromising quality or precision.

• Efficient production workflows and advanced tooling reduce material waste and optimize output.
• Laser cutting and casting technologies ensure accurate fits, reducing rework and improving efficiency.
• Our packaging is designed with minimal environmental impact in mind, using recyclable and FSC-certified materials wherever possible.

These innovations reduce our carbon footprint while enhancing consistency, precision, and overall product excellence.

Long-Lasting Craftsmanship: Built to Endure

Sustainability is not just about how a product is made — it’s about how long it lasts. In a marketplace dominated by disposability, we design with permanence in mind.

• Durable Materials: We use solid brass, stainless steel, and FSC-certified wood that resist wear, corrosion, and environmental stress — even in high-traffic applications.
• Timeless Design: Our systems combine Art Nouveau influence with modern utility, resulting in elegant, enduring products that never go out of style.
• Extended Warranties: We stand behind our craftsmanship with comprehensive warranties that reflect our commitment to long-term performance and customer trust.

By building products to last, we reduce waste and the need for frequent replacement — a cornerstone of sustainable design.

Blending Tradition with Innovation

At Industrial Brands, we prove that sustainability and fine craftsmanship are not mutually exclusive. By combining eco-conscious materials, energy-efficient practices, and timeless design, we create architectural hardware and luxury barn doors that are as responsible as they are refined.

Sustainability isn’t just about what we make — it’s about how we make it. Through the thoughtful merging of tradition and innovation, we’re proud to offer products that honor the past while protecting the future.
