Paperstone: This cannot be hurt by Rocks or Scissors!

Can you cut paper with a knife? Sure, but not Paperstone. Paperstone is made of recycled post-industrial paper pressed with natural resins and cured to a hardness that can be used as a countertop, rainboard, even flooring. Its no wonder why the world renowned green-corparation Starbuck's has experimented with paperstone in Seattle as a outdoor siding for one of their cafe's. This paper can't be hurt by rocks or scissors.

Paperstone is a very durable countertop surface made of 100% Post consumer recycled paper. The paper is pressed with a formaldehyde-free dye and a cashew nut shell resin as a binder under 23 tons of pressure. The result is a countertop that can hold up under much wear and tear. In fact, this product was tested as a skateboarding ramp in California 15 years ago, and it shows very little wear today!

Icestone An exciting new material becoming popular for countertops is Icestone, a mixture of 100% recycled glass and concrete. It looks and performs like mined stone and is installed and maintained like granite.

New River Concrete These concrete countertops are made of sand and gravel from the New River, which is collected during regular, low impact dredging to maintain two dams.

Bamboo Renewable, recyclable and biodegradable, bamboo countertops are a true gem in modern sustainable architecture. Bamboo is the fastest growing plant on earth, growing up to 6” per day, making it a very sustainable and renewable material.
