PaperStone

PaperStone® is the greenest architectural surface on the planet.

Available for LEED points.

Sustainability is mainstream…a powerful concept. When materials are made with this principle in mind, an earth-friendly idea becomes a natural choice. Choosing green products means living, working, learning and playing in a healthier world. PaperStone® is committed to innovative green products that contribute to an eco-friendly, holistic lifestyle that is smart, elegant and responsible. Since PaperStone® is green, using it may assist your project in qualifying for up to five LEED points.

PaperStone® is truly “The Countertop with a Conscience”

PaperStone® is made from 100% post-consumer recycled paper that has been saturated with our proprietary PetroFree™ phenolic resins and selected natural pigments on our treater lines. After trimming to length, resin-saturated sheets are stacked and moved into a press where they are fused together under heat and pressure. Paper sheet count determines the thickness of the finished panels.

Eco-friendly countertops and so much more.

PaperStone®’s non-porous surface provides a lifetime of stain resistance and it absorbs virtually no water. Surface cuts or mars may be sanded or rubbed out with an abrasive pad and treated with PaperStone® Finish. PaperStone® is extremely rigid and dense, lending to additional applications beyond countertops such as furniture, vertical panels and partitions, signs and cutlery handles. Its superior strength allows innovative cantilevered designs up to 18-inches of unsupported overhang when using 3/4-inch material. PaperStone® emits no radon gases and is VOC-free. It is heat resistant to 350°F and has been certified ‘food safe’ by NSF, the public health and safety company.
