Squak Mountain Stone - A Truly Green Countertop, Each Slab Unique For You
While interviewing Kirei at this year's Greenbuild, we stumbled upon an amazing green countertop. Squak Mountain Stone is a fibrous-cement material comprised of recycled paper, recycled glass, coal fly-ash and cement. The material resembles soapstone or limestones and is hand-cast into slabs as an alternative to natural or quarried stone. On display were the Squak product with its more rustic look and the Trinity product, a product similar in construction to the Squak but with a more polished look. We interviewed Amee Quiriconi, founder and inventor of Squak Mountain Stone, about this beautiful sustainable product. Hear her amazing story all the way from concept to final product, and check out examples of this beautiful product in the video above.
"The appeal is in the hand-made nature, its pastoral, honest aesthetic and the sculptural variability that makes
each slab distinct. The fact that the product provides all of this with an affordable price and genuine
environmental and social benefits is simply icing on the cake."

Hello my family member! I wish to say that this post is awesome, great written and include almost all vital infos. I would like to see extra posts like this .
Every Squak Mountain Stone concrete slab is hand-finished so it has a unique character similar to that of natural stones such as marble, travertine, and limestone. Squak Mountain Stone is generally used in kitchens and bathrooms as a counter top, table top or vanity top. If you haven't seen the "new" Squak Mountain stone you really don't know what you are missing out on! Tiger Mountain Innovations, LLC has recently made some great product improvements to their Squak Mountain Stone product. The coal fly-ash previously contained in the material has been substituted out with more recycled glass. Portland cement was substituted for low-carbon cement over 2 years ago as low-carbon cement releases much less co2 into the atmosphere during the manufacturing process. Furthermore, the slabs are available in a nominal 56"x96" size at 1-3/8" thickness. Slabs are gauged on the backside to ensure consistent thickness and ease of seaming for fabricators. A state-of-the-art vibration technology is used to minimize pinholes and give a more consistent character from slab to slab.
