TERE-STONE®
is a cast filled polyester material with an ultra-high performance
Terephthalic Resin combined with Dolomitic Limestone, whereas similarly
cast products such as cultured marble utilize a standard inexpensive resin
with a calcium carbonate filler. As a result, TERE-STONE®
is significantly stronger and denser than cultured marble and over six (6)
times more resistant to thermal shock cracking or crazing in the bowl
area. Similar to solid surface products on the market, TERE-STONE®
maintains consistent color throughout the base material, but also consists
of an "NPG" Isophthalic Polyester Gel Coat specifically
formulated for water, heat, chemical, stain and abrasion resistance,
including cigarette burns, providing a high-luster finish that is easy to
maintain.
Taylor Industries was founded in 1968 by Robert Taylor, the father
of the current owners, in an old knitting mill located in Linfield, PA (a
small industrial village located approximately 25 miles west of the City
of Philadelphia) with the objective of manufacturing superior quality
marble products. The business quickly grew and in 1972 we moved to
our present location in Parker Ford, PA. In 1988 a major expansion more
than doubled the manufacturing capability and in 1998 new technical and
administrative facilities were constructed. |
