ECO-FRIENDLY SOURCING AND MANUFACTURING
Local Marble Suppliers
Our sustainability story begins with the sourcing of our materials. We pride ourselves on using only local marble suppliers, significantly reducing transportation emissions while supporting local businesses. Our marble is sourced from quarries in North Georgia, not far from our own plant, while our resin comes from the Gulf Coast.
Waterless Production Process
Our manufacturing process does not require the use of water. This approach not only conserves a precious resource but ensures that our production is more sustainable.
Made to Order, Less Waste
Our cast marble products are made based on orders. We do not carry stock. We make what you need, significantly reducing waste throughout our production process. Plus, our variety of mold sizes allows for minimal waste cut in the field.
PACKAGING AND SHIPPING
Efficient Shipping
Because we only serve the commercial industry, our products are almost always shipped in truckloads. Efficient and cost-effective, while reducing our carbon footprint.
Sustainable Packaging
All packaging materials used for our shower walls and pans, including crates and pallets, are either recyclable or reusable.
LEED Contribution and MAS Green Certification
Our products may contribute to LEED certification due to low VOC emissions and because our raw materials are sourced within a 500-mile radius. Our products are also MAS Green certified.
PRODUCT SUSTAINABILITY
Durability and Maintenance
Our cultured marble is made from a mixture of crushed stone and resin, ensuring durability and luxurious design for years to come. In fact, most of our showers don’t need to be replaced until the next PIP requires it!
Because of the non-porous and groutless nature of our showers, they’re also easy to clean without the need for harsh chemicals.
Installation Over Tile
Our shower walls can be installed over existing tiles (if in good condition). Not only does this shorten installation times, but it prevents unnecessary waste in landfills.
CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY
Office and Plant Initiatives
Within our office and plant, we implement several eco-friendly initiatives, including recycling programs, motion-activated lights, sensor faucets, and programmed thermostats, to reduce our environmental impact further.
Community Involvement
Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond our products and processes. We actively support various charities and initiatives focused on our local community, including the Chattahoochee Riverkeeper, Elachee Nature Preserve, regular blood drives, Toys for Tots, Alzheimer’s walks, the Arts Council, and the North Georgia Food Bank.
