ENVIRONMENTAL STANDARDS
NSF-51 CERTIFICATION:
Ultracera® is proudly endorsed by the National Health and Safety Foundation (NSF). An NSF certification ensures the products we provide meet strict standards for public health protection.
Our NSF certification lets you know Ultracera® complies with strict standards and procedures imposed by NSF. Extensive product testing and material analysis, guarantee our product’s development is thoroughly evaluated before it can earn an NSF certification.
NSF requires regular on-site inspections of our manufacturing facility and repeated testing of products to confirm we continue to meet the same high standards required to maintain certification over time.
UL GREENGUARD CERTIFICATION:
Protect your home and your family with Ultracera® surfaces which are certified by UL Greenguard Gold. Every day we inhale volatile organic compounds through the air we breathe. The EPA has found that your indoor environment may be more polluted than fresh air outside. This is because the compounds are commonly used in manufacturing building materials, cleaning products, indoor furnishings, and personal care products.
Products with the UL Greenguard Certification are safe and pass the most rigorous chemical emissions standards. They ensure we have:
- Decreased indoor air pollution
- Reduced risk of chemical exposure which can lead to sickness
- Creation of healthier indoor environments
So… “Think Green” and choose Ultracera® surfaces today!
ULTRACERA® DOES NOT RELY ON MINING QUARTZ AGGREGATES:
Ultracera® is as heavy, durable, and aesthetically pleasing as existing solid surface products, without relying on quartz aggregates, which naturally vary in characteristics and are environmentally damaging to produce due to sand mining.
Sand mining is the world’s largest mining endeavor, responsible for 85% of all mineral extraction. It is also the least regulated, and quite possibly the most corrupt and environmentally destructive process.
