Cambria is a durable, nonporous surface composed of 93% natural quartz. As a result, Cambria surfaces do not off-gas and contain zero formaldehyde or volatile organic compounds.

In addition, Cambria surfaces are GREENGUARD for Children and Schools-certified and GREENGUARD indoor air quality-certified. The only quartz surface produced in the United States, Cambria has lower transportation requirements than its competitors, is certified by NSF International as safe for use as a food preparation surface, and is radon-free.

LP SMARTSIDE TRIM AND SIDING
LP uses SFI-certified forest management and procurement systems, which help ensure that its wood comes from well-managed forests. For its LP SmartSide trim and siding line, the company relies primarily on engineered wood substrate and has a procurement policy that targets small, fast-growing trees. Furthermore, LP uses only low-emitting, safe resins as binder. All of its SmartSide products are engineered with zinc borate to help resist termites and fungal decay. In addition, longer product lengths reduce the number of pieces needed and because LP’s manufacturing process eliminates knots, it helps to reduce scrap woodpiles. Use of SmartSide products also helps projects qualify for certification points in a number of leading green building programs.
