Icestone®

Beautiful Recycled Glass

An exciting new material becoming popular for countertops is Icestone® which is a mixture of 100% recycled glass and concrete. It looks and performs like mined stone and is installed and maintained like granite. It needs to be resealed yearly just like natural stone to keep it stain resistant. There are about twenty combinations of colors and it works in a kitchen, bathroom, backsplash, tabletop or fireplace surrounds.  It can be shaped, cut water jet, 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.  Due to its high recycled content and Cradle to Cradle Certification, IceStone® materials can be used towards LEED points.

• Uses 85% post-consumer recycled materials including glass and oyster shells in a matrix of concrete

• Contributes to LEED certification

• Withstands up to 350 degrees of heat easily

• Stain resistant with sealant intact

• Scratch resistant

• Granite alternative

Due to the VOC-free, high recycled content and Cradle to Cradle™ certification, IceStone® durable surfaces are ideal for projects seeking LEED certification. Using IceStone® durable surfaces has helped many projects to obtain their LEED credits.

IceStone® surfaces can be produced in almost any color because pigment can be added to the background mix, and a variety of sizes and colors of glass can be selected.

We work with professional stone masons who custom fabricate and install Icestone®.
