Trilite Stone Company, a manufacturer and supplier of man made stone and faux stone products is working with its suppliers to build materials that can apply to The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System. This system was developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). This rating system is used to rate a building project based on its overall impact on the environment.
"We are very concerned about conserving our valuable resources and contributing to environmentally friendly buildings," said Len Przybylski, President of Trilite Stone Company. "While there is currently no official rating for faux stone panels or man made stone products, we have reviewed the LEED criteria and have developed strategies that are consistent with them."
Some of the criteria for rating materials include the following:
Material Content
Manufacturing Process
Packaging
Installation Process
Material Maintenance and Care
Durability
Faux Stone Products can be used for both interior and exterior applications. The product is manufactured from hand crafted molds that duplicate the natural beauty and elegance of real stone structures. Trilite Manufactured Stone is light weight and very durable and much easier to install than natural stone. TriLite Stone uses several base colors along with multiple facial colors when creating the stone. The base colors fully integrate the stone so any cutting reveals a consistent color throughout.
