Icestone Kitchen Floor Review

Icestone
Want to protect the earth, create good jobs and get a beautiful-yet-durable kitchen floor? Do all three when you install flooring made of Icestone, a patent-pending material made of recycled glass and concrete. Icestone’s daylit factory in Brooklyn, New York uses earth-friendly production processes to create an original recycled product. Redirecting 1.2 million pounds of glass from the waste stream, Icestone offers good wages, health care benefits and free ESL and GED classes to its employees, many who live in an area known for rampant unemployment. When you have Icestone under foot, you can contentedly cook and eat with your family, knowing that you are supported by a truly green business. But environmental well-being isn’t all you get with this “Best Of.” UV stable, Icestone will not fade in sunlight and can withstand up to 13,000 psi, making it stronger than marble. Unlike marble, Icestone is non-porous (so it won’t stain) and is heat and water resistant. In a wider variety of colors than other composite flooring, (check out the cobalt ice, tuscan sunset and Moroccan red), you’ll love the distinct, welcoming feel of an Icestone floor in your kitchen.

I was about to order IceStone for my kitchen and bathroom, but my fabricator has just sent me the 'small print'.
Apparently it is porous, and there are scary instructions for 'trying to remove' stains. The disclaimer continues that cracks may appear, edges may be vulnerable to chipping, and hot pots, pans and even hot plates should not be placed on it.
I'm trying to find out if this is standard CYA statements by Ice Stone, or whether this (very expensive) product is not all it's cracked up (sorry!!) to be.

Does anyone have any actual experience with it?
