For the boy’s bathroom and laundry room, we went with EcoTop, a very cool new material made from bamboo and recycled paper. Eco-top has the smooth look of Corian and if the two materials were side by side, it would be hard to tell the difference. This is one of those products offers a lot of benefits in terms of health and sustainability without any apparent sacrifices. We went with the Concrete color, which looks great, especially with the undermount sinks. Some interesting facts about Ecotop
• Ecotop is composed of FSC certified fiber that is a 50/50 blend of rapidly renewable bamboo fiber and post-consumer recycled paper.
• The materials are bound together with a 100% water-based co-polymer resin formula.
• Product is VOC and benzene free
From a maintenance perspective, the company recommends using a special conditioner which they provide about every six months to keep up the shine. Also, any stains or damages can actually be sanded out. Thanks again to Bill Brigham and the folks at Stone Technologies for doing such a great job with the fabrication of the material.
