IceStone

Direct Stone, Orlando Florida (FL)

The IceStone residential countertop surfaces are made from 100% recycled glass; this glass makes up 75% of the product. Cement bonds the glass together, and requires sealing which we recommend annually. IceStone is plastic free and VOC-free. The product is Petrochemical free, and IceStone is working on using soy-based lubricants in all manufacturing processes in their U.S. based factory in New York. IceStone has gone a green step further, and received MBDC’s Cradle to Cradle Gold Certification for the IceStone durable surface, and the production processes used to produce it. IceStone compares their pricing to mid-to-high end granite.

Direct Stone is the exclusive distributor for IceStone for the state of Florida.

These surfaces are ideal for kitchen countertops and backsplashes, bathrooms, vanities, bathroom dividers, tabletops, interior walls, and commercial flooring applications. Beautiful shower surrounds and bathtubs could be made with IceStone durable surface material. It can be shaped, cut water jet, inlaid, mounted vertically or horizontally.

IceStone's goal is to produce beautiful materials that rival the strength of quarried stone, yet actively reduce the waste stream by redirecting glass from landfills to be cleaned and sorted and used in their product.

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. The fabrication, installation and maintenance of IceStone surfaces follow essentially the same process as used with natural stone.

Due to its high recycled content, IceStone materials can be used for LEED qualification. To qualify, the project must use materials with recycled content such that post-consumer content constitutes at least 10% of the total value of the materials in the project or combined post-consumer and ½ post-industrial recycled content constitutes at least 20%. Using IceStone products for countertops, wall coverings, flooring, bathroom dividers, shower stalls, greatly adds to the overall recycled content of the project.
