Just released, a new amendment to the BCBC effective October 4th, 2010, which specifies "the requirement for high-efficiency (4.8 litre) toilets or dual-flush toilets in all new residential buildings (or when major renovations occur) in BC. In all other occupancies, the requirements for toilets with a maximum flush cycle of 6 litres will remain unchanged. Whenever urinals are installed, high-efficiency (1.9 litre) urinals will be required."
Good news for the earth and our dwindling resources!

The obvious modern choice instead of the ubiquitous granite and marble
Received the full sample range of Silestone by Cosentino from Daniela at Valley Countertops. Love them all! Love the sparkle the quartz brings to them, like any stone other product.
They are totally low maintenance compared to granite and marble - won't stain, don't need sealing and resealing... my clients are going to love them for that as well as the great look and the fact that they're anti-microbial. Did I mention they're green products, so they qualify for LEED points? It's a no-brainer for me.
The colours on the website simply don't do the product justice, especially the eco range, but worth a look. The Bianco River looks like marble and just love Eco's Luna. Want the look of concrete? There are some colours in the range that look like the real thing, only Silestone is not porous.
