The Marble Institute of America (MIA) released Stones of North America Version 2, an iPad app that gives design and construction professionals quick, easy access to detailed information about natural stones quarried in North America. Version 2 of the app includes 25 new natural stones, a MAPEI care and maintenance tab and programming updates to ensure proper functionality with iOS6.
The app features marble, granite and other stones from more than 90 quarries in North America. Stones of North America gives architects, builders, designers, homeowners and others shopping for natural stone an easy way to view and select locally sourced natural stone. Users can search natural stones by type, color, intended use, location and distance from a project. Stones are displayed in vivid color and are showcased through photos of their use in commercial and/or residential applications.
Technical specifications, physical properties and details on recommended use make it easy to specify the right stone for any project. Sophisticated mapping technology enables users to measure the distance from the stone’s quarry and processing centers to a job site for sustainable projects. The MAPEI Care and Maintenance tab includes a comprehensive guide for how to care for and maintain all varieties of natural stone.
The Stones of North America iPad app is available for free download on iTunes.
