Across North America, environmental practices and performance are more important than ever before. Not only do we manufacture products that contribute to sustainability, we start thinking green before our product is even made.

Thoughtful planning and manufacturing techniques allow us to maintain our commitment to the environment, and to responsible manufacturing. Our position on environmentally sensitive practices is governed by our company's corporate objectives, which maintain that "social and environmental concerns are of the utmost importance and must not be compromised in the setting and execution of policies."

The Natural Edge^®

Arriscraft pioneered its environmentally benign Natural Edge® technology in the 1950s, and has continued to enhance and refine the process ever since.

Stone is formed when fine grained sands and minerals are forced together under extreme pressure and compressive forces. Under the right conditions the individual grains touch and bind together forming a consistent, high strength, dense stone unit.

When this occurs in the earth, sandstone or limestone is formed. When it occurs in the Arriscraft production facility, under 1,000 tons of force, Arriscraft Building Stone and Renaissance® products are formed. No other technology is equal. Only our Natural Process technology has proven itself to have the appearance, performance and aging characteristics of stone. With production exceeding 100 million square feet over a period of 60 years, you can be assured that Arriscraft stone, as with good quality quarried stone, will perform well and age naturally.

Arriscraft products Contribute to LEED^® & Sustainability

What is LEED?
According to the U.S. Green Building Council, the Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design rating system, or LEED "promotes a whole-building approach to sustainability by recognizing performance in five key areas of human and environmental health: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality." Thoughtful material selection can contribute to the development of high performance green buildings that minimize impact on building users and on the local and global environment.

Arriscraft Renaissance®, and Building Stone products support the fundamental principles of green management with additional durability, design, and economic benefits.

Through superb durability and energy efficiency, exceptional life span, and timeless architectural appeal, Arriscraft products can contribute to LEED points and to sustainability in the following categories:

• Energy and Atmosphere
  
• Materials and Resources
  
• Innovation in Design
