WHO WE ARE
We design, manufacture, install & remodel Granite, Marble and Engineered Stone countertops, vanity tops and surfaces in Maryland, Pennsylvania and Delaware.
GREEN PHILOSOPHY
We work with natural stone because we appreciate the beauty of nature. Our appreciation is also a commitment to reduce our carbon footprint and to promote sustainability efforts in our industry. We seek to continually reduce our carbon footprint and remain at the forefront of sustainability initiatives in the marble and granite industry. AGS demonstrates that commitment in every aspect of our operation process. From product selection to the water we use, to our treatment of the environment, we take the necessary steps to ensure we do our part to ensure the health of our planet. You can learn more about our Green process here.
Everything we do and select for our operation, is done with the environment in mind. Paperwork waste is minimized with an online order management system. We work hard towards being “paperless”. The supplemental electric lighting in our facility is 100% new, high efficiency low energy consumption lighting. We use a computerized laser measuring device which eliminates making hard templates (such as plywood, plastic or cardboard) unlike many fabricators. This way we do not have any waste template material after completion of each job.
waterAt AGS we are aware that running a state of the art facility means more than having fancy equipment. It means doing our part to keep our planet healthy. Most stone shops use water when fabricating natural stone to keep silica dust from becoming airborne. After the water is used it simply runs down the nearest street drain or back into the ground. AGS captures this water through a Water Filtration system to be cleaned, and reuses the same water over and over again.
* 100% water recycling / reuse of process wastewater.
* Saving hundreds of gallons of water each day, equaling tens of thousands of gallons each year.
* All wet fabrication, dust-free facility.
* Wastewater is never discharged into the public system.
All of our granite scraps are recycled, crushed, and turned into gravel or concrete for landscaping.
We have introduced innovative products – such as IceStone and Vertrazzo – that use post-consumer recycled glass and concrete. As sustainability efforts continue to grow and evolve, we will seek to not only actively participate in sustainability measures within our own facilities but to also educate our customers on the most eco-friendly practices and product options on the market.
