I discovered Paperstone in early 2006 as I began my design of Casa Montecito for the 2006 Seattle Street of Dreams. I loved the touch of the product and decided to use it in the main floor laundry and catering prep area. One of the goals of this project was to introduce green products that would entice potential users. Hopefully by seeing them used consumers and contractors would be motivated to integrate them into projects. Recently I completed another home that used Paperstone on the perimeter kitchen counters and granite on the islands.

In 2006 Paperstone was selected as a top 10 product by the editors of GreenSpec® and Environmental Building News™. PaperStone Certified is a beautiful and heavy-duty solid surface known for its performance, its warm touch, its contemporary appearance and its environmental sustainability. It is made from 100% post-consumer recycled paper and a proprietary, petroleum-free resin. It is the only solid surface material certified by the Forest Stewardship Council, Smartwood and the Rainforest Alliance. Specifying PaperStone can earn up to five LEED points. PaperStone is durable and is recommended for residential kitchen and bath and commercial uses, indoor and out.
