Squak Mountain Stone Squak Mountain Stone is a fibrous-cement material comprised of recycled paper, recycled glass, coal fly-ash and Portland cement. The material is hand cast into “slabs” as an alternative to natural or quarried stone. It resembles soapstone or limestone. Squak Mountain Stone is a paper and cement-based composite weighing approximately 14.5 pounds per square foot. The material does not contain any steel reinforcing, making field modifications possible. The post-consumer recycled content is 2.5%. The post-industrial recycled content is at least 49%. Size information provided is nominal and not exact. Variation in product size may be ± 1/8”. The entire product contains less than 1% crystalline silica. Slabs are provided from the manufacturer sealed with a water-based sealer that provides stain resistance to grease, oil, food, and other common household chemicals for approximately 24 hours. This sealer also provides some limited resistance to acidetching from household liquids such as vinegar and citrus juices. The slabs require a final finish after installation and on-going maintenance of a similar type sealer or food-grade countertop wax for maximum resistance. The amount of maintenance is highly dependent upon the user’s cleaning regiment and personal preferences. All materials in Squak Mountain Stone™ are purchased from businesses within a 125 mile radius of Seattle, WA. Today, all Squak Mountain Stone™ products are hand-made in Woodinville, WA. All slabs are 1-½” thick, but they are ungauged so some thickness variation of 1/8” or less may be found. source: www.tmi-online.com |
