Keep Your Guard Up

Lapitec continues to back up its claims of being the best new sintered stone on the market. Recently achieving GreenGuard certification, Lapitec continues to outpace competitors with its constant achievements in the sintered stone space. Perfect for outdoor kitchens, countertops, flooring, wall and exterior cladding, Lapitec is available in 1.2cm, 2cm, and 3cm thicknesses. Unlike other sintered stones, Lapitec is through body, so the color and patterning are consistent throughout the slabs. Other sintered stones are simply printed on top, making edging difficult. For samples or to become certified please email brenna@caragreen.com.

Chatty Coworker?

We love the new EchoScreen offering from Kirei EchoPanel. Available in 20 colors and 10 standard designs, these wall or ceiling hung panels offer the perfect solution for separation and acoustic control, while offering an artistic element to a workspace. Tired of hearing about Cassie’s dating disasters? EchoScreen is not only a visual partition but a noise reduction solution as well. The EchoScreen designs can be customized as well. So silence Cassie and get back to work with EchoScreen. For samples and information email echopanel@caragreen.com.

Going Platinum

The most coveted of all claims, Cradle to Cradle Certification, just recognized its first Platinum product, Bark House poplar panels. This certification is a testament to The Bark House® by Highland Craftsman’s commitment to environmental and social stewardship. The panels are the first, and only product to achieve the Platinum level of certification. These exterior grade shingles are used for cladding, accent walls and because they are tree bark, they are not only beautiful but incredibly resilient to weather and environmental conditions. For more information on Bark House, email us at barkhouse@caragreen.com.

This is Solid

Durat’s extensive color palette has proved a versatile tool for designers, and it has now expanded further with the addition of Durat solids.  Minimizing the filler, designers can now use these primary colors and neutrals with an even appearance, as the “speckles” have been removed.  At the request of specifiers, this line was developed to address a segment of the market that did not want the texture that traditional Durat presents.  For sample boxes of Durat solids, please email durat@caragreen.com.

Building Our Network with Bark House
