Millenia Wall Solutions Products to be Sold by Stone Center of Indiana

Millenia Wall Solutions, retaining wall manufacturer, announced that Stone Center of Indiana has agreed to distribute Millenia products. Stone Center of Indiana is a full-service source for architectural and landscape stone products. They will conduct two-hour open house events on Oct. 15 and 16 to introduce landscape professionals to Millenia's products.

"I have a product design and manufacturing background, so when I first met Millenia, I was impressed with the ingenuity of their remarkable SRW concept," said Mark Sawyer, president, Stone Center of Indiana. "Millenia selected unique stone textures and uses them to mold faces for their wall units that take on the look of natural stone and feel like real stone, too. Once landscape contractors understand this new system, they will appreciate its aesthetic advantages and other key characteristics: labor-saving light weight and ease of installation."

Millenia uses 100 percent recycled, pre-consumer polymeric resin materials in all its wall products. An independent Life Cycle Assessment concluded that when used instead of concrete blocks, Millenia polymer wall units provide a 55-percent reduction in total environmental impact, including a 65-percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.

Based on the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System, developed by the U.S. Green Building Council, using Millenia walls units can qualify for up to eight LEED credit points.

"LEED credits are a strong selling point for Millenia," said Sawyer. "At Stone Center of Indiana, Millenia retaining walls are the start of a growing line of green products and materials for sustainable development and green building projects."
