Performance Advantages
DURABILITY

Composed about 90 percent of natural Quartz, VICOSTONE is resistant to scratch, heat, impact and the corrosive chemical agents such as: acids, common cleaning solvents. That makes VICOSTONE superior to granite and other natural stones.

SAFETY

Certified by NSF for food safety (ANSI 51) and certified by GreenGuard as being safe for indoor air quality of commercial and residential facilities as well as for children and schools, VICOSTONE is made to be applied in interior design, especially for kitchen applications.

LOW MAINTENANCE

VICOSTONE is stain resistant, that means you can easily clean VICOSTONE surfaces by using just a mild soap with warm water. While granite and marble will need to be resealed periodically, VICOSTONE sustains its superior features and keep your kitchen clean and safe to use.

International Trustworthy Certificates about Safety
NSF INTERNATIONAL

Vicostone has been credited by the NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) for having surfaces safe enough for use in laboratories, healthcare facilities, and food preparation environments (ANSI 051).
