SculptStone™ LEED Data

HOW SCULPTSTONE™ EARNS YOUR PROJECT LEED POINTS

Pineapple Grove Designs is dedicated to producing and delivering the highest quality, most exciting Architectural Ornaments and Details. As well, we are always searching for new ways to make our products better and more earth friendly. We have recently completed a material reformulation and revamped our production processes to better meet the recommendations advocated by U.S. Green Building Council. New SculptStone™ still meets the same high aesthetic and ASTM standards as original SculptStone™ but now better reflects our commitment to the environment.
