Recycled Paper Countertops – Recycled Countertops That Will Hold Up To Anything
October 26, 2008 by admin
Want a green material for your kitchen countertops that is tough enough to stand up to skateboards, boats and even airplanes? Then you’ll want to check out recycled paper countertops!
I know, paper doesn’t sound like a very practical material for a countertop, after all it is quite fragile and disintegrates when it gets wet, but these counter tops are made from pulp that comes from trees harvested by managed forests along with some recycled paper. Of course, it doesn’t resemble paper at all once it is processed and the result is a beautiful and durable green countertop.
Made by Richlite, these recycled paper countertops come in solid sheets and is actually the same material used for decades by the aerospace industry as well as in the marine industry and to make skateboard ramps. These countertops look good with almost any design and come in a variety of colors.
These recycled countertops also have many advantages such as being heat resistant, scratch resistant and stain resistant. This type of countertop is a solid color thoughout the entire thickness so any scratches that do occur will not be very noticeable. With a heat resistance of up to 350 degrees you won’t have to worry about burns on your new counter.
But perhaps, the best thing about these recycled paper countertops is that they are very sanitary and, in fact, the material has been certified by the National Sanitation Foundation for use in cutting boards. It has an impervious surface and resists the growth of bacteria.
