Recycled Paper Countertops, Why Not?

Recycled  Paper surfaces are beautiful, Strong, Durable and reliable as an alternative to popular materials that make you yawn. The different types of brands on the market today that we work with are composed of post-consumer recycled paper or FSC-Certified paper and a cashew nut oil-based phenolic resin. When I first heard of a Recycled paper as a countertop I laughed, but was willing to test its durability. I had to admit, its strength impressed me after I hit it with a hammer a couple times. I was impressed by this unique combination of cashew resin and recycled paper which is compressed into a rock slab. This is why I feel it’s a great choice for Architects, Designers and Homeowners who require the best in sustainable products. These materials are a high performance surface and backed by a 10 year warranty. It has extremely high impact resistance which is rated at 45,000 psi of  direct force, I proved that with my hammer and a bowling ball. It is very stain resistant and can be done to meet most complex challenging designs that I always embrace. I used it already for outdoor signage, Countertops, unique inlays and a full shower surround. The heat resistance is comparable to high-end stone and engineered type surfaces.
