Many of natural stone's competing products -
specifically, quartz products like Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone - carry a GreenGuard Certification. The certification is an indoor air quality seal that is becoming very important to the green building community and to homeowners alike.
Recently, GreenGuard certified several natural stone materials. After doing so, they assured the Marble Institute of America that "virtually every stone on the planet would easily qualify for GreenGuard certification."
So, what does this mean? It means that as a building p rofessional, you can pretty much rest assured that natural stone materials are completely safe and easily as good as manmade products. Visit www.greenguard.org for more information. |
