Laticrete has announced that its entire range of GREENGUARD certified products are now also certified under GREENGUARD for Children & Schools. The designation means Laticrete tile and stone installation materials meet the most stringent product emissions criteria developed by the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute for low-emitting building materials used in daycare, K-12 and healthcare facilities. The new standards were developed by evaluating the chemical sensitivities of children and the unique building characteristics of schools.
Laticrete products certified under the GREENGUARD Children & Schools program are specified in the USGBC’s LEED Rating Systems, CHPS Best Practices Manual, and the Green Guide for Healthcare for low-emitting materials. GREENGUARD Children & Schools follows the State of California’s Department of Health Services Standard Practice for testing chemical emissions from building products used in schools and office buildings.
