Product FAQs

 

What is Recycled Granite?
AE Recycled Granite products are created using remnant countertop material from countertop fabricators in Arizona. When creating a kitchen or bath countertop 15% - 60% of a stone slab can be cut off and discarded. Sections like; sink cut-outs and side pieces to make it fit your countertop lay-out. We create a recycling program with these fabricators, they place their remnants into our recycling bins and we pick it up instead of it going to the local landfill. All of our stone products are from 100% recycled granite, therefore preventing millions of pounds of waste from entering Arizona landfills each year. 

​

Is it manufactured in America?

Yes! All of our recycling and manufacturing is done in Tucson, Arizona. We are an American recycled - American manufactured building materials company!

 

Is the granite solid stone?

Yes! All of our products are SOLID granite!  We don't crush and reform the stone using any kind of chemical or resin. This lets you enjoy the natural beauty of the stone without any VOCs.

​

How strong are your Pavers?

In comparison to traditional concrete pavers, which are generally 3,000 - 5,000 psi, Recycled Granite Pavers are rated at a minimum of 19,000 psi* making them up to 3 - 5 TIMES STRONGER. The dramatic beauty and strength has been built up, layer upon layer, over millions of years. They withstand weathering and fading far better than any other stone available on the market. 

​

Can you guarantee exact granite types?

Since we deal with remnant material, we cannot guarantee the types of granite used. We panelize our blends by colors not granite species to ensure a consistent blend palette. This means several types of granite will fall into each of our blends.

​

Do your products qualify for LEED points?

Absolutely! Since our materials are manufactured from 100% post-consumer waste they earn credit points in the LEED rating system. LEED Credits for new projects and major renovations earn points from various rating categories. Please consult with your local LEED Accredited Professional for specific points and rating methods.
