Q: Is IceStone® a recycled product?

A: Yes, IceStone is made from recycled glass and concrete. IceStone is considered one of the most healthy and environmentally responsible material on the market. It is 100% free of harmful plastics, toxic resins, and VOCs and each slab is pre-cast in a factory that meets OSHA standards. The mixing of non-toxic pigments with various glass colors and sizes results in a versatile color palette.

Q: Is Vetrazzo® made using glass?

A: Yes, Vetrazzo is comprised of 100% recycled glass. The high glass content (85% by volume) creates a story with a color story in every surface. Each mix ranges anywhere from architectural to art glass, to beer bottles and jars to giving it a signature blend. Please contact Capitol Granite for more information on Vetrazzo surfaces.

Q: What are PaperStone Countertops?

A: PaperStone® is a sustainable composite material made from 100% post-consumer recycled paper, PetroFree™ phenolic resins and natural pigments.

As PaperStone® ages it will assume a pleasing, lustrous, seasoned appearance that is an inherent characteristic of the material. This is a natural progression of a natural product, resulting in a beautifully soft, rich patina. The aging process takes time and, much like fine hardwood, a deep luster will develop in areas of heavier use.
