Paper counters - for REAL!


PaperStone is a great new solid surface materials that has amazing versatility and a sleek appearance.  Made completely from 100% post-consumer recycled paper, saturated with a proprietary phenolic resin,  it's colored with  natural pigments.  The surface is non-porous and so provides a lifetime of stain resistance - it absorbs virtually no water and surface cuts or mars may be sanded or rubbed out with an abrasive pad and treated with the company's maintenance product. Since it's extremely rigid and dense,  it can be used for countertops, 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. It 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.
