Shirestone™
is the latest generation of custom countertop and backsplash material.
For many years everyone had laminate which was a welcome change from tile and
the challenge of dealing with grout cleaning--then Corian came along with its
seamless appearance, but unfortunately accompanied by scratching and staining
challenges--then Granite appeared-- everywhere. Some homeowners had
problems with cracks from hot pots, and staining of surfaces from spilled wine
or other products. Seams were necessary for corners and large areas.
Damages, cracks, chips etc. could not be repaired, and it also must be resealed
periodically.
Now there is Shirestone™, which is beautiful, has the look of natural cut
and honed stone, and can be custom colored on site to coordinate with your room
colors. It is seamless and highly heat and scratch resistant.
Homeowners and Interior Designers who are looking for something new, different,
more durable, and easier to maintain have an exciting new product choice which
was featured at the 2007 National Home Builders Show--Shirestone™.
Homeowners planning to update, remodel, or build are ready for something new,
something their neighbors don't already have; and each Shirestone™ countertop is
beautifully unique. Shirestone™ Countertops Can Even Be Poured Over Your Existing Laminate Counters!
Shirestone™
custom countertops have a unique patented product, a
pour-on-surface made from ground stone and other materials. They are
poured at the job site to give the counters a seamless finish. One
of the advantages is that while Shirestone™ has the
feel of a stone surface, it can be laid right over your old
countertops, whether tile or laminate. Shirestone™
is described as being twice as strong as concrete (which is also
poured on) and lighter than granite or other stone that comes in
slabs. It is extremely stain resistant and can withstand heat
much better than granite. It is custom colored and sealed on
site to your preferences. You have the option of a high gloss
or a dull matte or satin finish.
Additionally, this is an ideal surface for outdoor kitchens and poolside bar tops. There is no need to worry that it might be stained by the barbecue sauce or other items. Even Clorox won't damage it. There is no concern about heat damage from hot food serving dishes. This product is not damaged by rain and weather elements. If you have been waiting for something new and different, this it the product for you!
