CAN I CUT DIRECTLY ON IT?
Each VISTONE surface is made to order. From an order being finalized to installed takes a minimum of three weeks. Dry time alone for a single slab can be anywhere between one and four weeks – depending on the size, thickness and makeup of the composite.
Certain color blends, glass choices and workload will also impact timing – our team will be able to advise you before you place your order!

MAINTENANCE & CARe
VISTONE surfaces are made from 85% glass, which is completely impervious to stains, and then sealed on installation for ultimate protection.
DAILY CLEANING
The surface should be wiped clean using a damp cloth. For dried rings or spots, use mild liquid soap or detergent with a damp cloth.
upkeep
We recommended you have your VI Stone surface resealed once a year to keep it in optimal condition. For additional protection, especially on surfaces in high-trafficked areas, we also recommend applying a coat of marble wax every six months.
To best maintain the finish, we recommend applying a marble polish two or three times a year.
Stains
85% of a a VI STONE surface is glass, which is completely impervious to stains. However, the following products may stain the surface if not cleaned up quickly:
Acids (like red wine, lemon juice, and vinegar) may eat into the surface
Staining substances (like coffee and tea) may leave discoloration
** Much like marble, granite and concrete – as you live with and enjoy your counter over time – many prefer the character of the patina that develops on a surface cleaned less rigorously.

How much does a vi stone countertop cost?

Our countertops are competitively priced with high-end materials like quartz, marble, and granite, while offering the added benefit of sustainability and a completely unique appearance.
For an accurate estimate, we recommend requesting a quote so we can review your project details and measurements.
How long does fabrication take?
Production time can vary depending on the size and complexity of the project. In most cases, fabrication and installation are completed within a few weeks after measurements and design details are finalized.
Because every slab is handcrafted and made from locally recycled glass, each project requires time and careful attention to detail to achieve the final finish.
Our team will provide a timeline once your project specifications are confirmed.
Can vi stone be customized?
Yes. One of the biggest advantages of VI Stone is the ability to create custom surfaces tailored to your space.
Because we work with recycled glass, each slab develops its own natural pattern and character. We can also fabricate surfaces for a wide range of applications, including:
Kitchen countertops
Bathroom vanities
Bar tops
Table tops
Commercial installations
Outdoor surfaces
No two slabs are ever identical, which means every project results in a truly one-of-a-kind surface.
