IceStone durable surfaces are made from recycled glass and concrete.
IceStone® products are the ideal choice for green kitchen countertops. They're also a great option for
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. While there are 24 standard colors
available, the color palette is infinite.
IceStone® surfaces can be made in almost any color because they can add pigment to the background mix,
and then select from a variety of sizes and colors of glass. Customers love the consistency and flexibility of
IceStone® surface material as they can put it on a floor, wrap it up a wall and then place it on the countertop.
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. Third party testing results are available upon request. The fabrication, installation
and maintenance of IceStone® surfaces follow essentially the same process as used with natural stone.
Due to its high recycled content and Cradle to Cradle Certification, IceStone® materials can be used towards
LEED points.

The United States Green Building Council developed the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green
Building Rating System in order to transform the built environment to sustainability by providing the building industry
with consistent, credible standards for what constitutes a green building. There are different types of LEED rating
systems, and all are continuously refined. You can check the latest versions at the USGBC website .
Using IceStone durable surfaces has helped many projects to obtain their LEED credits. Below, you will find
information relating to how IceStone can help to obtain credits in the LEED Commercial Interiors (LEED-CI) version
2.0 rating system. Below that, you will find a condensed listing of the other LEED certification systems and the
corresponding credits that IceStone can help your project to obtain.
LEED Commercial Interiors (LEED-CI) Version 2.0 and IceStone
MR 4: Recycled Content
IceStone durable surfaces contain recycled content that ranges from 70% on average to 75% of the product by
weight. Of the recycled content, generally 80-100% is pre-consumer waste, with the balance being post-consumer
waste.
MR 5: Regional Materials
IceStone durable surfaces are manufactured in Brooklyn, NY. If your project is within 500 miles of us, IceStone
qualifies as a regional material.
EQ 4: Low-Emitting Materials
IceStone durable surfaces contain no volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and thus emit no VOCs. We recommend
that IceStone be used in conjunction with certain low-VOC or no-VOC sealants.
Innovation in Design: Cradle to Cradle Certification
IceStone is the first and only durable surface to have achieved Cradle to Cradle certification. McDonough Braungart
Design Chemistry (MBDC) – an independent third-party firm – has evaluated IceStone durable surfaces for its human
health, environmental health, lifecycle attributes, social responsibility, renewable energy and water stewardship
characteristics against stringent criteria and has certified it as a Silver level ecologically intelligent product.
