TERE-STONE® is a cast filled polyester material with an ultra-high performance
Terephthalic Resin combined with Dolomitic Limestone, whereas similarly cast products,
such as cultured marble, utilize a standard inexpensive resin with a calcium carbonate
filler. As a result, TERE-STONE® is significantly stronger and denser than cultured
marble and over six (6) times more resistant to thermal shock cracking or crazing
in the bowl area. Similar to solid surface products on the market, TERE-STONE®
maintains consistent color throughout the base material, but also consists of an
"NPG" Isophthalic Polyester Gel Coat specifically formulated for water,
heat, chemical, stain and abrasion resistance, including cigarette burns, providing
a high-luster finish that is easy to maintain.
- Vanity Tops with integral bowls that will not crack or craze
- Ten (10) Year Transferable Warranty
- Resistant to chemicals, stains, cigarette burns and abrasions
- High Luster Finish
- Surface color consistent throughout the base material
- Unlimited Design Capabilities and Color Selection
TERE-STONE® is made to a set of standards that greatly exceed those of cultured
marble or other similar types of material produced by any other manufacturer. We
have found that the Terephthalic Resin based matrix system provides the best resistance
to thermal shock damage (the cracking or crazing that occurs around the drain area
after years of normal use). Our products are tested to 3,000 "Thermal Shock"
cycles of hot and cold water without failure while the industry standard calls for
testing to only 500 cycles (ANSI Z124.3.6.2.1). This resin system, exclusive to
TERE-STONE®, results in a product that is significantly stronger than cultured
marble and over six (6) times more resistant to thermal shock.
Most manufacturers of cultured marble use Calcium Carbonate for the filler material,
however TERE-STONE® utilizes Dolomitic Limestone since its crystalline structure
is significantly harder. Liquid pigments are incorporated into the base material
as dry powder pigments, utilized by cultured marble manufacturers, have a tendency
to improperly "wet out". This creates dry pockets and voids throughout
the product which can lead to gel coat cracking, thermal shock damage, etc. The
"NPG" Isophthalic Gel Coat specifically formulated for TERE-STONE®
provides an ultra-high luster finish that is easy to maintain.
Our high level of quality assurance and control, combined with the best raw materials,
the skills of our dedicated craftsmen and the Taylor Industries transferable Ten
(10) Year Warranty are your assurance that your TERE-STONE® product will retain
its attractive appearance during years of trouble free use.
