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.

"I love the Safecoat paint and primer -
the colors are great and it is a worry-free
product! I don't have
to worry about that toxic chemical smell
with my new baby and two year old
daughter. I have recommended it, as
well as the Center for Green Building to
many friends. Erin was a great help,
very informative and personal too.
Thank you Erin!" Martha K.
