Living Well in Westchester

Featured in the kitchen of the current This Old House project (an earth-friendly renovation of a 1926 Texas bungalow), IceStone is a Brooklyn-based company that manufactures countertops using 100% recycled glass. A true Cradle to Cradle product, IceStone is about as “green” as grass.

Check out these sustainability stats from the IceStone website:

Recycled Content
IceStone durable surfaces are made with 100% recycled glass. The Mother of Pearl chips used in IceStone surfaces are sustainably harvested and also post-industrial recycled product.

Indoor Air Quality and VOC’s
IceStone surfaces are VOC-free and therefore do not off-gas any VOC’s. In addition, in our Installation and Maintenance Guidelines, we recommend low-VOC sealants and adhesives.

Manufactured Locally
All IceStone surfaces are manufactured in our day-lit facility in the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

Third Party Certifications
Cradle to Cradle™ SILVER Certification was recently awarded to IceStone durable surfaces. IceStone surfaces are also NSF certified. The Mother of Pearl used in IceStone surfaces is certified sustainably harvested by the National Terrazzo and Mosaic Association.

End of Life
IceStone surfaces are very durable and have an extremely long life cycle. They can be cut into tiles, exterior garden stones, smaller countertops or vanities.

Design without Compromise
At IceStone, we are committed to creating surfaces that are both beautiful and sustainable. IceStone surfaces offer cutting-edge design and environmental results. At IceStone, we manufacture our products with recycled glass, diverting hundreds of tons of glass from landfills each year. We operate out of a renovated, day-lit factory in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, creating U.S. jobs for workers in an eco-friendly, safe and respectful environment.
