BETHANY, CT - Laticrete International, a leading manufacturer of stone and tile installation and maintenance products, reports making the specifying of tile and stone installation materials for projects seeking LEED certification faster and easier than ever before with the launch of the Laticrete LEED Project Certification Assistant, an innovative online tool that automatically generates all of the information required for Laticrete products on a specific LEED project. This easy-to-use online tool quickly produces an Adobe Acrobat file for each Laticrete product selected stating its VOC content, recycled content, manufacturing location, raw material sources, Greenguard for Children & Schools certification, technical data sheets and a map showing the location of the user’s project with a 500-mile radius circle depicting its relation to Laticrete manufacturing facilities. The Laticrete LEED Project Certification Assistant eliminates the time-consuming challenge of obtaining and quantifying the necessary data for LEED-compliant installation materials, producing detailed, accurate information in just a few moments.

“We recognized a need in the industry to provide this type of comprehensive information,” said Art Mintie, Laticrete Director, Technical Services. “The data that’s provided is necessary for any project seeking LEED certification, and we found it extremely time consuming to manually gather the required information. This was driven by a need in the industry as the green building movement continues to grow. Architects, specifiers, installers and distributors can have this information in their hand in seconds instead of the weeks it might take otherwise. Having this type of information upfront aids all parties involved in projects seeking LEED certification.”
