IceStone® products are the ideal choice for 'green' kitchen countertops. They're also a great option for backsplashes, bathrooms, vanities, bathroom dividers, tabletops, interior walls, and commercial flooring applications. Beautiful shower surrounds and bathtubs could be made with IceStone® durable surface material. It can be shaped, water jet cut, inlaid, mounted vertically or horizontally. While there are 24 standard colors available, the color palette is infinite.
IceStone® durable surfaces are strong like granite, not as porous as marble and heat-resistant like stone. The chemical composition is benign and 99.5% inorganic making it a very safe material from the standpoint of toxicity and fire resistance. Third party testing results are available upon request. The fabrication, installation and maintenance of IceStone® surfaces follow essentially the same process as used with natural stone.
IceStone® is Cradle to Cradle certified. Due to its high recycled content, IceStone® materials can be used for LEED qualification. To qualify, the project must use materials with recycled content such that post-consumer content constitutes at least 10% of the total value of the materials in the project or combined post-consumer and ½ post-industrial recycled content constitutes at least 20%. Using IceStone® products for countertops, wall coverings, flooring, bathroom dividers, shower stalls, greatly adds to the overall recycled content of the project.
