Sustainability
Environmentally friendly products, services and practices
CentiMark’s Sustainable Efforts
Cool roofs*- Materials such as white roof membranes and roof
coatings may improve energy efficiency and reduce urban
heat island effect. 1
Garden roofs*- Vegetative trays/coverings may increase
insulating values and manage stormwater runoff. 2
Daylighting*- The use of natural sunlight helps reduce artificial
lighting loads and utility costs. 3
Solar*- Photovoltaic panels reduce electrical grid dependence
and serve as a renewable energy resource. 4
Insulation*- Improving R-value may reduce heating and
cooling costs.
Recycling*- Recycling reduces the need for virgin materials as
well as the costs of transportation and disposal of waste.
Low-volatile organic compound products - The use of low-
VOC adhesives and sealants may reduce ozone depletion and
improve air quality.
QuestMark’s Sustainable Efforts
Ambient light*- Polished floor sheen increases the efficiency of
ambient light. 5
Increased life cycle*- Polished concrete systems eliminate
demolition and replacement of existing floor systems.
Reduced maintenance*- Our DiamondQuest® application
eliminates the need to recoat or regularly wax floors and
requires less-frequent cleaning.
No VOCs*- Our silicate densifiers and synthetic diamond
processes do not contain VOCs and other pollutants.
Exposed concrete*- Exposed thermal mass achieves a more
consistent interior temperature, reducing heating/cooling loads.
