for LEED Projects

At Pioneer Stone, we are dedicated to continuously improving our stone veneer manufacturing processes to protect the environment. Here’s why Pioneer Stone is the ideal choice for your LEED-certified projects:

Regional Priority (RP)

Located in Davenport, FL, our manufacturing facility allows us to serve the majority of our projects within a 250-mile radius. Additionally, we source raw materials locally to further reduce environmental impact.

 

Materials and Resources (MR)

  • Our stone veneers are packaged in corrugated boxes, minimizing cardboard and paper waste. 
  • By choosing manufactured stone veneers, we help conserve natural stone resources, reducing the need for large-scale excavation across the U.S.
  • Lightweight veneers mean faster installation and reduced shipping weights, cutting both fuel consumption and costs.
  • Our 50-year warranty ensures exceptional durability, making our veneers one of the longest-lasting siding options available. Crafted from a concrete and expanded clay mixture, they resist rot, rust, and fire.
  • Low-maintenance veneers save time, energy, and money compared to wood, vinyl, or stucco alternatives.
  • Our concrete veneers are recyclable; any construction site waste can be ground and reused.
  • With excellent thermal mass properties, our veneers help regulate interior temperatures, reducing energy consumption for heating and cooling.

Energy & Atmosphere (EA)

Our facility combines advanced semi-automated equipment with skilled labor to achieve an energy-efficient manufacturing process, minimizing excess energy consumption.
