What is Patina?

Patina is a thin layer that variously forms on the surface of stone over six
months of use. Patinas can provide a protective covering to materials that
would otherwise be damaged by corrosion or weathering. They may also
be aesthetically pleasing. Caesarstone surfaces are designed to acquire a
natural patina which adds to the character of the surface, yet remains easy
to clean and maintain. It is not a blemish or stain.

Guidelines

• Counters are not sold with patina. Natural patina can take up to
six months to form using regular mild cleaners, soap and water,
windex, etc.
• Patina forms on all quartz products unless bleach based cleaner is
used regularly
• All colors become slightly darker and shinier
• No sealant of any kind should ever be used
• Sealant leaves a topical film that makes cleaning even harder
over time
• Certain cleaners my expedite accrual of patina

Do not generate more than 2.5 pounds of construction waste per square foot (12.2 kilograms of waste per
square meter) of the building's floor area. Caesarstone slabs arrive precut to size at the site, eliminating
generation of on-site material waste.

Notes

Option 1 of this credit rewards the project for diverting waste from the landfill. Total diversion rates of 50% or
more (into at least three material streams) earn 1 point; total diversion rates of 75% or more (into at least four
material streams) earns 2 points.

• The concept of individual waste streams is new to LEED v4.

• An easy way to categorize your streams is to focus on the heaviest waste or the waste that generates the most volume,
making steel a viable candidate for an individual waste stream. As a best practice, a material stream should constitute
at least 5% by weight or volume of total diverted materials.

Option 2 of this credit rewards the project for reduction of total waste material (2 points). To meet the requirement,
there can be no more than 2.5 pounds of construction waste per square foot of the building's floor area.

• Option 2 requires teams plan for not generating waste in the first place. To get the most benefit, this option requires
teams to plan for source reduction during design and implement it during construction.
• Prefabrication, modular construction or incorporating standard material lengths or sizes into the project's design can all
help reduce waste for this path to the credit.

MASTER OF STONE
Caesarstone, the inventor of quartz surfacing, is proud to lead the safety revolution for the industry with the

MASTER OF STONE education program. The extensive program was created for fabricators and addresses issues

of health and safety in the workplace with a special emphasis on creating a space free of the dangers of hazardous

respirable crystalline silica dust, the root cause of silicosis. Caesarstone, unlike many quartz surfacing companies, has no

financial interest in any fabricator business, but is investing in them nonetheless with the MASTER OF STONE program.
The program is free and available to anyone in the industry dealing with the hazardous dust risk and its implications.

While Caesarstone has always had a robust training and communications program for its fabricator partners, MASTER OF

STONE leverages many years of research and development to help educate all fabricators on health & safety, professional

knowledge and more. The website is accessible to everyone and presents the complex material in a user-friendly manner.

All the information is available via the Caesarstone MASTER OF STONE Training Center website
(https://mos.caesarstoneus.com), where information, guidelines, methods and collateral are provided to all who

enroll. Caesarstone is determined to become part of the solution by being proactive and leading the revolution

to create a safer work environment for all.

Availability Stocked colors and textures are inventoried in convenient

locations throughout North America. Caesarstone is also
available internationally.

Costs: Caesarstone quartz is priced below the cost of

many natural stones. Additional savings result from
Caesarstone quartz’s strength that can simplify fabrication,
reduce breakage and allow for the use of thinner
materials. Its durability and low maintenance requirements
provide longer lifespans.
