The Process - Shirestone Custom Countertops for Kitchens and Baths

Shirestone™ Custom Countertops are handcrafted using a proprietary patented formula and process designed to create a unique and durable solid surface for both new construction as well as remodeling projects.   Only a trained and Shirestone™ certified dealer may install the product.  There is only one authorized Shirestone™ dealer in any geographic area. 

The tops are poured on site providing a seamless surface and custom fit; then stained using a variety of colors and visual effects. A superior high strength coating is used to seal the tops, leaving a virtually maintenance free finish. This precise and intricate process ensures that each element compliments its particular environment, creating a "one of a kind" showpiece for both residential and commercial settings.

SHIRESTONE™ Surface Care and Maintenance
Routine Care:
Shirestone™ requires very little maintenance. Simply wipe your Shirestone™ surface with soap and warm water to maintain its beauty and shine for years to come. Avoid any abrasive cleaners.  It is sealed when installed and does not have to be resealed.

Difficult Spills:
To remove difficult spills, wipe the surface with warm water and soap. If needed, use a non-abrasive liquid cleaner. For stains that harden as they dry, such as gum, remove by soaking thoroughly and lightly scraping off of surface using a PLASTIC putty knife or like tool.

Extreme Heat Protection:
Shirestone™ is extremely resistant to heat and can withstand moderately high temperatures for brief periods of time without being damaged. Although Shirestone™ is more heat resistant than other countertop surfaces; any surface can be damaged by sudden and extreme temperature changes.

Chemicals to Avoid:
Avoid exposing your Shirestone™ surface to strong chemicals and solvents. Items to avoid include tape, nail polish remover, permanent markers or inks, caustic glues like airplane or Crazy® glue, oil soaps, paint strippers that contain triclorethane or methylene chloride. Also avoid using high alkaline/ PH products like oven cleaners.

General Precautions:
Although highly scratch resistant, we strongly recommend using a cutting board in order to avoid damage to your knives and to deter the prospect of any unnecessary bacterial contamination due to a damaged surface. Safety is our prime concern.
In the unlikely event that you ever need a repair to you countertop, contact your Shirestone dealer.
