PAPERSTONE-SLATE
Description
Slate panels present a luster and warmth perfect for kitchen and bathroom designs that are modern and refined, traditional and formal, or anywhere in-between. PaperStone panels also can be used to craft sleek furniture pieces. Several versions of Slate exist for different needs. Slate N, made exclusively from recycled, old corrugated containers, is 100% recycled and NSF-certified. Some mottling and occasional speckling with recycled particles characteristic in OCC becomes more apparent with sanding. Slate P has a layer of recycled office paper that has much less mottling and no speckling, but still is 100% recycled. If you're after black, Onyx is another PaperStone product you might consider. Made from non recycled paper, Onyx has a pure black appearance with no mottling and no impurities. Slate N, Slate P and Onyx show almost no discernible effects from fading or age.

Maintenance
Wash with hot, soapy water. Dry surface with a soft towel after washing to eliminate water spotting. Use The Original Bee??™s Wax?® spray wax, PaperStone?® Cleaner/Rejuvenator, or apply a coat of paste wax after cleaning, when water no longer beads up on the surface, or the luster has diminished. Do not use cleansers that are abrasive or contain concentrations of bleach. To remove marks, stains, or light scratches, use a non-woven pad (Scotch-Brite?® maroon 7447 or similar product) to evenly buff the surface. Non-woven pads can be used with a vibrating orbital sander or by hand. Be sure to treat the entire surface, not just the problem area

Suitable as work surfaces, wall cladding and paneling, partitions, furniture, case work, signs and plaques, window sills, cutting boards, cutlery handles, and other products
Installation
Commonly cut and shaped before installation using sophisticated automated machinery at fabrication shops, stone cutting tools, or common household woodworking tools with high quality carbide-tipped blades. Use of a waterjet cutting device is not recommended. Can be positioned as a cantilevered design with up to 18in of overhang using 0.75in thick material. Seam using biscuit joints, mechanical fasteners, or by butting pieces up and securing them to the base cabinets with screws or glue. Joint gaps can be filled with color-matching caulk.
