What ECO by Cosentino Countertops are Made From

ECO by Cosentino utilizes materials that have reached the end of their life cycle, thus saving on the creation and consumption of natural resources. Most of the raw materials used in the creation of ECO are:

Protecting the Environment

ECO by Cosentino is a countertop product which combines performance and design through the use of innovative technology and recycled materials. In every step of production, from extraction to manufacturing to installation, Cosentino is committed to respecting and protecting our environment.

During the manufacturing process of ECO, 94% of the water used is recycled, thus minimizing the consumption of a very important resource. All of the minerals used in the production of ECO by Cosentino come from quarries that are fully restored under strict stewardship programs. The manufacturing process is strictly controlled to avoid emissions of any harmful particles into the air.

Cosentino worked to become a leader in environmental responsibility. That means our products do more than meet industry requirements; they meet the expectations of a conscientious society.

Care and Maintenance

ECO by Cosentino countertops are non-porous and do not need sealing, making cleaning easy. To maintain ECO’s beauty and shine simply wipe the countertops with soap and water on a regular basis.

Difficult Spills

Clean all spills immediately. To remove difficult spills, soak the area for 10 minutes with a gentle pH balanced house cleaner or regular soap and water. Then rinse and clean away with a soft cloth. Acceptable cleaners include Windex^®, 409^®, Lysol^® or other similar cleaners. For stains that harden as they dry such as food and gum, remove by gently scraping the surface (using a blade or putty remover),  then clean using warm water, soap and a soft cloth. Do not use any chemical sealant products.

Extreme Heat

ECO by Cosentino countertops perform well against heat and can withstand moderately high temperatures for brief periods of time without being damaged. As with any stone surface, however, certain exposure to heat may cause cracks due to thermal shock. Always use a trivet or a cutting board when placing hot items on ECO by Cosentino countertops. Do not use crock pots, electric skillets or other hot items directly on ECO by Cosentino countertops.

Harsh Chemicals

The following chemicals will harm ECO by Cosentino: Drano^®, Liquid Plumr^® oven cleaners and floor strippers. DO NOT use these or any other harsh chemicals on your ECO by Cosentino countertops.

Sunlight Exposure

Continuous long-term exposure to direct sunlight (UV Rays) may result in slight discoloration.

General Precautions

To prolong the life of your knives, always use a cutting board. ECO by Cosentino countertops are very durable and perform high against scratching, but using knives directly on the surface may dull the sharpness of most knives.
