Recycled Glass Mosaics for Natural Home Design

Video Transcript

"Alright, now we’re going to cover the tile options that there are for your countertops, your bathrooms, on the counters, in your showers, anywhere you wanna put tile. There’s a number of different options. The mosaics, which are beautiful, they’re a little expensive but they’re recycled glass, they’re actually 45% post consumer and 48% post industrial recycled content. They’re ¾ inch tiles perfect for mosaics both in the home and for commercial use. They’re impervious to water, stains, chemicals and lots more. So you can break these off and make a design and use it with any of the other natural tiles and really create a cool project. This one here is a recycled glass project that we put together just to show you the beautiful patterns and things you can create just like regular tile, but you’re using recycled products that are healthy, they’re not going to be out gassing, so you can see the colors that are available there.

Again here we have the things you can use on the floor. These are actually not floor tiles, floor tile is typically, you can feel the top of it and if it feels a little rough to the touch with your thumb you can tell it’s actually a floor tile because it’s supposed to be skid proof so it’s not slippery. Something like this would be a little slippery on the floor but you could use it, people do outline patterns and stuff on floors with it. It’s 50% recycled glass and fired clay. So that’s a really great option.

There’s the marmoleum if you’re really into vinyl flooring and you really don’t like tile floors. There is a natural option which is the marmoleum and it comes in a number of really beautiful colors, things that are really creative, and you can use it in any place you would use regular vinyl floor."
