IceStone's Manufacturing Process
Step 1: Batching
The batching process is where we mix the glass,cement, and non toxic pigment. The mixture then pours out into a tray creating a mold and placed on a vibration table to distribute the glass throughout the slab.
Step 2: Curing
After batching, the IceStone slabs are entered into a steam powered kiln to cure overnight. Curing is done to rid the slab of any moisture and humidity.
Step 3: Calibration
Calibration is where we shave off a thin layer of the bottom of the slab to ensure that it is even and the thickness is consistent.
Step 4: Polishing
The IceStone slab is placed in the polishing machine to give it a shiny, glossy look.
Step 5: Patching & Sealing
Once polished, we patch up any imperfections and seal the surface.
Step 6: Ready to Ship!
The slabs are placed into inventory and ready to ship.

IceStone Founding Idea
IceStone began in 2003 with a simple concept; transform waste glass into something beautiful. The founders set out to create a business that integrated sustainable, responsible practices from process to product, and to provide a high design solution that would address a real need. With capital investment from over 70 progressive angel investors including Ben Cohen from Ben & Jerry’s, activist and author Dal LaMagna, the founder of Tweezerman, Greg Steltenpohl from Odwalla, and Gary Hirshberg from Stonyfield Farm, IceStone recycled glass surfaces were brought to market.
Since then, IceStone has diverted over 20 million pounds of glass from landfills. IceStone’s signature recycled glass and cement products remain an icon of the new countertop industry, delivering unparalleled style that brings design projects to life.
