Environmental Policy - NATURE STONE is Committed To Being Green-Friendly

The NATURE STONE Company is dedicated to protecting the environment. We practice environmental responsibility according to sustainability concepts developed by the United States Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED^®) program.

NATURE STONE comprises natural washed and graded stone, one hundred percent solids epoxy binders, elastomeric sealants, and polymer topcoats that are FDA compliant. The system includes an antimicrobial agent to prohibit the growth of mold and mildew to safeguard indoor use.

The combination of stone and epoxy naturally allows air flow to occur, thus the NATURE STONE floor is always breathing.
