Earthy Anchors

If your walls could talk, they would be telling you to choose drama and go green with a cool product, American Clay. With this easy to apply, earth plaster, you can transform your walls into a modern loft look in a weekend. Chosen as the "Outstanding Green Product" last year by the National Association of Home Builders, it makes sense to investigate this smart, 100% natural product before you choose anything else.

Made from natural clays and recycled industrial waste such as marble dust, American Clay is available in 40 plus colors and 3 finishes. It's mold and fade resistant and easy to repair if you get too carried away at your next party...

The American Clay website is full of photos, product descriptions and application instructions. So, check it out if you think this is the product you have been looking for to crate a modern look in you home. At first glance, this product does not appear to be for the modern dweller but I really think with the appropriate color selection, a smooth surfaced, clay wall can be as simple and understated as any modern structure out there. Distinctly sophisticated, this is a durable alternative to standard gypsum or acrylic plasters being widely used today.

If you are working with an architect, designer, or builder mention that this product will earn them up to 4 LEED credits. LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. It is a nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of sustainable buildings.

I love to discover products which give back or at least don't take away from our precious environment. Pass this find along to anyone you know who may be working on a building project of any size.

American Clay looks like a very good investment. It is good for the environment, aesthetically pleaseing, and flexible. This looks like a great product for homeowners who want to be creative with their decorations. Since this is made from natural clays and recyled material, it seems like there is no downside!
