VitraStone is a new sustainable sink and countertop material made from a blend of 70-85% recycled glass and natural minerals. A wide variety of sink and counter designs exist, but the makers will also do custom designs, colors and inlays to achieve more unique looks.
It has an incredibly high compression strength and durability owing to the ceramic cement (not Portland cement) used in its manufacture. That also means a lower carbon footprint and that the finished product doesn't need additional water reducers, plasticisers or acrylics as are often added to other products.
The finished product won't off-gas, won't shrink, is integrally colored, is resistant to scratching, chipping, freezing, thawing, acid and mold. So it can be used indoors or out.
Care and maintenance is a breeze because they seal their surfaces with a deep penetrating sealer that protects them throroughly. Waxing is entirely optional. A clear carnauba paste wax gives countetops a nice feel, or just leave them as they came.
