Are you feeling bored in your bathroom? Well, re-tiling a bathroom can breathe new life into a dingy old loo. Purchase bathroom tiles made from recycled glass, and the most “natural” room in the house will become even more so. Because they are very labor intensive (hand-cast, hand-cut, and hand-finished), recycled glass tiles rival the cost of high-end conventional tiles, but check these out:
- GreenSage – 100% recycled content tiles in six sizes, from 1 inch to 6 inches and in six different colors.
- LivinGreen – 100% recycled glass tiles in various colors in s sizes.
- Terra Green – at least 55% post consumer recycled glass tiles.
- Oceanside Glass tile – 85% recycled glass in some of their products.
Having these will give you the benefits of the following: Glass is impervious to moisture, making it a great choice for baths and showers. This will also save energy. For every bottle recycled, enough energy is saved to run a 100-watt bulb for 4 hours. Good for all bathroom surfaces also, can be used in all tile applications, including counters, walls and flooring. And environmentally responsible save huge amounts of glass waste in landfills. Glass makes up 6% of all the items in a landfill and it takes over 1 million years to decompose.
