Eco-$mart Introduces 5 New Products

Our goal at Eco-$mart, Inc. is to help people to live and work in buildings that are healthy, efficient and cost effective. We firmly believe that once people understand what choices are really available and the impact of those choices, they will likely choose to design a better future for themselves, and for the planet.

We are constantly searching for products for the home and building that are ecologically sound and economically efficient. The products we add to the Eco-$mart Catalog must pass the criteria of the Florida House Institute for Sustainable Development. We then make every effort to offer qualifying products at the lowest possible price, realizing that when people buy green, the world gets a little greener for all of us.

New Eco-$mart Product in Home Safety...
EZ-View Solar Powered Lighted Address Numbers In an Emergency!
Will Emergency Personnel be able to find your house?

Police, Fire and Rescue are trained to respond quickly to save lives. Unfortunately, most house numbers are virtually impossible to see at night. This puts you and your loved ones in danger. The solution is illuminated house numbers. But lighted numbers require electrical wiring, which places limits on where you can place them. Light bulbs burn out and illuminating your address all night will increase your power bills.

Union Corrugating
Metal Sheet & Shingle Roofing

Union Corrugating
Metal Sheet and Shingle
Roofing Materials

Metal Roofing from Union Corrugating is the obvious choice for those who wish to include sustainable source materials in their home or building design, while saving money at installation and throughout the life of the roof. The metal roof is virtually maintenance-free, available in a wide selection of colors and styles, and can last up to 50 years. Metal will not burn, and does not curl, split or decay.

Metal Roofing is the most environmentally friendly roofing product. It is made of recycled materials and can be recycled after use. Metal roofing does not deplete forest or oil reserves.

Metal Roofing is energy efficient and can reflect as much as 70% of the sun's energy. This minimizes the heat retention and as a result less heat is transferred into the building. Metal roofing offers an effect similar to R-11 insulation during sunny day conditions.

Union Corrugating Products:

Advantage-Lok®, Architectural Standing Seam Panel.
Performa Steel Shingles™
MasterRib®, Structural Metal Panel
Shield Ray™ and Flat English Shingles
5V Metal Roofing
R-Panels, Structural Steel Panel
Corrugated Steel Panels
