Improved Stone and leather panels will create less waste
Fairhope, AL — June 18, 2007
Weathered Stone® improves its faux stone and leather panels with cleaner edges, creating less waste. To accommodate for this, the stone and leather panels will come in new standard sizes. The product makeover will result in greater cost effective installations and less waste for the environment.
The improved product panels are a significant step in making the product more user and environmentally friendly. The excess waste from cutting the panels down to the new sizes will conserve more product, and promote more usability. The excess waste created by the old standard sizes was being sold as remnants on eBay® or thrown away. The new sizes will eliminate excess product being thrown away.
“The cleaner edges will be a symbiotic change that will benefit both the company and environment by having less waste, and will benefit the end consumer as well”, said Sean Howard, Weathered Stone® inventor and CEO. The new and improved standard panels will feature the following sizes: 24 inches by 32 inches, 32 inches by 32 inches, and 45 inches by 32 inches. The product price per square foot will remain the same and product price per panel will decrease slightly. Updates on the size changes can be found on company website. There will be a revised sales manual, training manual, quick stat sheet, and price sheet available online.
