Carbon signals

Concrete, Teak, and Travertine look like the main embodied-carbon drivers in the current palette.

Stone look like the main embodied-carbon drivers in the current palette.

  • Stone
Lower-carbon levers
  • Look for lower-clinker mixes, reused structure, and scope reductions before fine-grained product swaps.
  • Use classification and product-level EPD research to place this material more precisely.
  • Check source geography, fabrication intensity, and whether stone is structural, cladding, or finish-only.
  • Track sourcing, certification, and assembly logic rather than assuming timber is automatically low impact.
