Stonhard can help projects become LEED certified, while offering the single-source warranty that places Stonhard above other competitors.

For more than 85 years, the Stonhard name has been synonymous with quality flooring products. Today, Stonhard’s standards of quality are higher than ever, and include the commitment to environmental responsibility.

Stonhard has been striving toward sustainable practices for more than 10 years. Through product development, innovative packaging changes, pollution control initiatives and recycling efforts, Stonhard has strengthened its commitment to the environment.

Recently, Stonhard’s green commitment has returned to the spotlight as more projects are seeking LEED certification. Most Stonhard products can help a project accumulate LEED certification points in the areas of construction waste management, building reuse, recycled content, regional materials, rapidly renewable materials and low emitting materials, through their unique manufacturing, packaging and installation processes.

Additionally, Stonhard offers two products that are made from recycled materials. Stonclad GR is a general service epoxy mortar system that uses recycled glass and rapidly renewable soy-based components to form an impact, abrasion and chemical-resistant finish, and Stonblend GSI-G, an epoxy mortar system, blends recycled glass chips into its surface to provide a long-wearing, stain-resistant finish.
