The Countertop with a Conscience™

PaperStone's surface is a unique composition of recycled paper and non-petroleum resin with origins in the aerospace and marine industries. But don't be fooled by its strength and durability - it's also surprisingly warm and smooth making it an ideal kitchen countertop or bathroom vanity.

WHAT IS PAPERSTONE?

PaperStone® is a paper composite surface made from 100% post-consumer recycled paper, petroleum-free resins and natural pigments. Sheets of paper are essentially saturated with the resins and pigments, then compressed using heat and pressure.  This process creates an extremely durable, structurally sound, and non-porous surface product that looks like stone, but is surprisingly warm and soft-to-the-touch.

WHY WE LIKE PAPERSTONE

• Environmentally sustainable and responsibly manufactured
• Extremely Durable - heavy-duty solid surface that's harder than wood, lighter than stone.  PaperStone is used as cutting boards and food prep stations in commercial kitchens.  
• Stain Resistant - nonporous, impervious to water and food stains, won't harbor bacteria
• Easy to Maintain - it's easy to keep the surfaces clean with a damp cloth or natural soap and water; soapstone sealer once every 1-2 years
• Warm, soft and smooth-to-the-touch surface, similar to soapstone
• Easy to install - it's even DIY-friendly!
• Larger sheet sizes - unique sizes to fit large or small kitchens with less waste
• Virtually seamless
• Multiple applications
• Affordable - pricing is comparable to a high quality quartz or granite product.
• 10 Year Warranty

THINGS TO CONSIDER

• Heat resistant to 350 degrees - Do use a hot pad or trivet to protect the countertop and finish from excessive heat.
• Medium to dark color pallete, no hues lighter than a platinum gray and no white
• Requires a sealant
• PaperStone is an natural material that ages like hardwood - it will develop a worn-in feel and a natural patina over time
