What is Technistone?

Technistone is made using a combination of 93% Quartz, Quartz Silica, Granite or Recycled Mirror*, combined with 7% resin colors and binders. This mixture is pressed into 52” x 120” x ¾” or 1 ¼” sheets using Breton’s proprietary vibration vecuum cooled, ground (calibrated) and polished to a high gloss shine. Each sheet is then individually inspected under bright lighting for any flaws or possible defects. Technistone is the finest material available for your interior hard surfacing needs.
*Starlight Series.

Care and Use of Technistone

Technistone is 99.9% solid and nearly impossible to stain. Residue on the surface appearing as a stain is most oten topical. These topical stains are easily removed with a white non-abrasive scrubber and any one of the many household cleaners available today (i.e. Mr. Clean, 409, Simple Green, Fantastic, etc.). Harsh chemicals (commonly found in paint strippers, drain cleaners, etc.) may damage the surface of your countertop. If exposed immediately remove and rinse with clean water.

Heat and Scorch Resistant

Technistone is heat and scorch resistant and under normal cooking conditions is not affected. A hot pot accidentally placed on Technistone momentarily (though not recommended or guaranteed), is unlikely to cause the surface any harm. Exposure to extended or extreme heat can affect the beauty of any surface. To ensure optimum performance, excessive heat must be avoided. Technistone requires the use of trivets and/or hot pads when using electric countertop cooking devices or when placing hot pots or pans on the countertop. Your Technistone countertop is extremely durable. Follow these simple guidelines and it will remain beautiful and trouble-free for years to come.
