Welcome to a special edition of the Granite and TREND Transformations blog. This month, we are thrilled to share with you that our beautiful etherium® By E-Stone surfaces are now enhanced with Microban® antimicrobial protection, making them the only engineered surfaces in the world with this built-in technology. Read on to learn how this amazing advancement in engineered stone surfaces is elevating the way today’s consumers are thinking about their countertops and other surfaces, and how the benefits of etherium® by E-Stone that you’ve come to love are sparking excitement with homeowners and business owners worldwide.
What is etherium® By E-Stone?
Very simply, etherium® By E-Stone is one of the finest surfaces available on the market today. As a part of TREND Group—a global leader in surfaces for residential and commercial use—E-Stone is an innovator in the industry that uses advanced sourcing and manufacturing processes and practices, which helps reduce impact on the environment. Using only the highest quality quartz, granite and recycled glass, our etherium® By E-Stone surfaces are handcrafted in our very own manufacturing facility in Sebring, Florida, thus guaranteeing the strength, durability and beauty of our products. It’s the peace of mind you deserve and it is part of our Lifetime Limited Warranty. Our collection is truly the surface you’ve been dreaming of. Here’s why.
The Microban® advantage
Today, germ and bacteria resistance are more important than ever. Microban® antimicrobial technology is built-in protection for solid products, like countertops, that works at the cellular level to continually inhibit the growth of bacteria 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Sounds interesting, right? Let’s show you how it works:
- Full integration—The Microban® technology is integrated into the surface during the manufacturing process so it will not wear away or wash off.
- Technology at work 24/7—Surfaces can be contaminated with microbes when a person touches it, it comes into contact with environmental conditions, or there is a lapse in cleaning. That’s where the Microban® technology steps in. The cell walls of the microbes are penetrated by the Microban® technology, preventing it from reproducing or growing.
Sounds pretty amazing, doesn’t it? Wait until you hear the benefits!
If you’re like most of us, cleaning is not on the top of your list of favorite things to do. In fact, today, we may find ourselves cleaning more than ever before. Here are some of the wondrous benefits you could begin enjoying with our etherium® By E-Stone surfaces:

- Visible cleanliness, invisible protection—You’ll see visible improvement of your countertop’s cleanliness without any effect on function, appearance, or durability.
- Easier to clean and stays cleaner longer—The Microban® technology keeps the surfaces cleaner between regular cleanings.
- Extended product life—The engineered stone countertop surface will last longer due to inhibiting the growth of damaging microbes.

- Lifetime protection—After Microban® is integrated during the manufacturing process, the protection will last the entire expected lifetime of the product.
Advantages you’ve come to love
