The building industry is the world's second largest consumer of natural resources. Because of this, manufacturers of building supplies strive to promote a sustainable future by putting green label products on top of their priorities. A building material can be considered as a green label product when it is earth friendly and harmless as well to human health and well-being.

Even though there are various standards for a building product to be considered environmentally friendly, sticking to the principles of sustainable design serves as the ticket of business manufacturers that specialize in building products to qualify for any green building certification program. When the principles of sustainable design are summed up, this would mean a drastic drop-off in the consumption of raw materials, especially the non-renewable resources.

Attributes Of A Green Label Product

So what constitutes the principles of sustainable design? The following are the common elements that building products should possess to become a certified green label product:

Low impact material

Energy efficient

Durable

Renewable

Recyclable

In Singapore, adherence to these principles is becoming a common practice for businesses that specialize in creating building materials. As a matter of fact, manufacturing businesses that specialize in grates system have joined the green building bandwagon. With the aid of technology and research and commitment to innovation, building manufacturers are able to understand the right ingredients in making eco-friendly outdoor building materials.

Low impact materials refer to non-toxic, non-polluting and energy-efficient building products. Hence when it comes to gratings, natural stones are more earth friendly than steel.

Moreover natural stones possess a design of diverse and yet attractive colors that only nature can conceive. Hence, people can expect a variety of designs that can enhance the aesthetic appeal of any outdoor space, especially when its shapes and moulds are made of nontraditional designs.

It matters to reconstruct the natural composition of stones for it to match the mechanical strength of steel grates. The advantage of reconstructed stone grates from steel grates is that the first don't have a high heat absorption level.

Producing building materials that are certified green label products, such as restructured stone grates, can only be accomplished with the assistance of a research team that is passionate not only about the quality of the building material but also of its impact to the environment.
