PaperStone™ is an extremely hard surface and is practically impervious to water. The surface is scratch resistant and stain
resistant. It has also earned a Class A Fire Rating. All of these components make it a beautiful option for any kitchen.
The color of the material is base on the recycled paper content and type that is used in the mix (i.e. old cardboard) and the
phenolic resins used. Because of the nature of these components the color of the surface will tend to darken over time. The
color is not only on the surface of the material but goes all the way through the product, so if damaged, it can be repaired.
Over
time the surface of the material will form a seasoned look that is a
characteristic of the material. Areas of heavy use will form a deeper
luster. It is also possible that there will be slight tonal difference
that are natural and should be expected. In other words certain areas of
a top may look slightly darker or lighter based upon the size of the
project and the sheets used. The surface texture and level varies with this material. There is more texture when first installed, than over time it will become smoother and develop more luster. The product may have a slight unevenness on locations of the top; this is because the
product is pressed, not molded, into sheets.
All of these components due not take away from the beauty of the countertop, but instead add a uniqueness to the material.
