Healthy materials from foundation to finishes that are built to last
Siding & Stucco
Everlast’s innovative triple-composite process yields the most advanced siding material in the industry. Wood, vinyl, fiber cement, and other composites are no match because, despite costly required maintenance, you'll find these alternatives still fade and deteriorate over time. Everlast lasts, for life.
Applying stucco over ICF provides a moisture-resistant and durable finish. Stucco is also rot‑, rust‑, and fire-resistant.
Paint
Paints and finishes release low level toxic emissions into the air for years after application. The source of these toxins is a variety of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which, until recently, were essential to the performance of the paint.
New environmental regulations and consumer demand have led to the development of low-VOC and zero-VOC paints and finishes. Most paint manufacturers now produce one or more non-VOC variety of paint. These new paints are durable, cost-effective and less harmful to human and environmental health.
Floors
There are many choices for non-toxic flooring suitable for the chemically sensitive or the health-conscious individual. The best options are real hardwood, polished concrete, cork and tile. But specific brands of natural linoleum, carpet and engineered wood are excellent choices as well.
