What does GreenGuard® mean?
GreenGuard® is an indoor air quality certification from UL that measures chemical emissions from products. Items that earn GreenGuard® certification meet strict limits for low VOCs (volatile organic compounds), helping reduce pollutants that can build up indoors.
GreenGuard focuses on low emissions – it does not claim a product is “zero VOC” or “chemical‑free.”
Two GreenGuard® certification levels
GreenGuard® Standard
Certified for low chemical emissions supporting a healthier indoor environment in homes and offices.
GreenGuard® Gold
Same rigorous testing, with stricter limits designed for sensitive spaces like schools, daycares, and healthcare.
GreenGuard® is a registered trademark of UL Solutions. Used here to indicate authentic certifications provided by our window treatment manufacturers.
