Abstract
There is provided an imitation stone counter material and a method of making the same. In one embodiment, the material consists of a layer of gel coat over a stone matrix layer. The matrix layer mixture consists of a hardenable resin, a thickening agent, and a crushed stone aggregate. To the stone matrix layer is applied a layer of fiberglass and curable resin. In an alternative embodiment, alternating layers of foam and fiberglass are applied to the stone matrix layer to provide the desired structural integrity to the final imitation stone counter material.
