Cool composite
Residential Architect, March, 2005 by Shelley D. Hutchins
A mix of recycled glass and concrete makes up IceStone. The composite doesn't contain fillers, resulting in a product that looks and handles like natural stone but is less porous and more heat-resistant. Appropriate for vertical or horizontal applications, the 52 1/2-inch-by-8-foot slabs can also be cut into large format tiles. Along with its 20 standard colors, the company offers the option of adding custom pigments to the background mix and hand-selecting glass pieces. IceStone, 718.624.4900; www.icestone.biz.
