Natural Stone Resource Library Surpasses 50,000 Downloads
MIA+BSI’s Natural Stone Resource Library has reached a new milestone of 50,000 downloads. “This incredible resource, a collection of the most comprehensive, up-to-date natural stone information in the industry, is the most valuable resource we offer,” says 2017 BSI President Daniel Wood (Lurvey Supply). “We encourage the industry to take full advantage of this free resource in order to be successful in specifying and utilizing natural stone.”

Launched in 2015, the Natural Stone Resource library houses all MIA+BSI technical documents, as well as resources from other industry associations. There are currently 272 documents available. All resources can be downloaded free of charge. The library has become a trusted resource not only for stone companies, but also for architects, designers and construction professionals.
