DelGrosso Design proudly sustain and encourage the practice of Green Building in our territory.

DelGrosso Design installation meets the Green Building requirements, which just recently changed in 2011 for the San Francisco Bay area; the new requirements are lowering the admissible VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) content in sealers to 100.

Many manufacturers are developing new products compliant to this new stricter regulations, but it is up to the contractors to act following these rules and use only admissible products. Many contractors are still buying products manufactured out of State and sometime not compliant with the new California Law.

We believe that we make the future of our Nation and of the World starting from our neighborhood. We help our clients to make the sometimes difficult decisions during a construction project, and in this process we make sure that the project we are going to build will positively affect the environment.


Here following some of the reasons why our cement floors are environmentally friendly:

- Cement floors hardly require demolition of existing substrates, saving energy and not wasting materials.

- Concrete and cement floors retain heat in cold weather and stay cooler in warm weather, reducing energy consumption.

- Cement coatings reduce dust and allergens often found in other flooring, especially carpet.

- Our cement coatings utilize sustainable materials abundant in Nature, as limestone and sand, unlike other materials, as for instance wood, which require the harvesting of forests, sometime endangered and protected.

- Cement flooring largely reduce the quantity of Portland cement used in comparison tho concrete floor slabs.

- DelGrosso Design only uses Bay Area VOC compliant sealers and coating products, to reduce the air pollution and improve the air quality that we breath.

- Our cement coatings are virtually mildew free, abating the number of chemicals normally necessary to clean other kind of floors, mainly ceramic tiles grout.

Concrete floor polishing also is a great way of conserve energy and is an extremely environmentally friendly operation. In fact:

- the old concrete does not get demolished and hauled away but restored to a beautiful and durable finish

- grindings are completely recyclable

- both densifier and sealer are water based and easy to handle with very low VOC

- the maintenance is very minimal, as low as buffing the floor every once in a while

Feel free to call or email our offices for more detailed information regarding "Green Building". Our personnel will be friendly and provide you any available information.

Require your contractor or other contractors on the project to provide Green Building compliance information an to use only admissible products.
