Available Recycled Tile

There are multiple eco-friendly flooring choices available for the consumer today, and one such product is recycled tile. With the remarkable recent progress in the green building movement, you can now practically build your whole house out of environmentally safe products. Flooring options have kept up with the flow, and recycled tile is now a popular green choice.  

Crossville’s EcoCycle is the first porcelain tile manufactured out of recycled content and certified by the Scientific Certification Systems. This product contains 40% recycled material, does not require chemical sealers, and is LEED compliant. Available in eight beautiful colors that simulate natural earth tones, you can use on the floor, as a backsplash, or in your shower. Slightly more expensive than standard tile, this brand averages $4.50 sq/ft. 

TerraGreen recycled glass tiles are another unique and beautiful product. Created by a process called glass fusion, recycled glass from old windows, bottles, and mirrors is combined with natural clays, sand, and silica. The whole process is environmentally friendly, minimizing waste. This tile also doesn’t require any chemicals for installation or sealing. 

Recycled Bottle Glass Mosaic Tiles are made out of recycled glass and look stunning in backsplashes, around a pool or hot-tub, or as accent tiles. 

ORGANiKS! tile is made out of 100% recycled glass and is available in over 100 different colors. This tile can be used both inside and out. It is water, fire, and mold resistant, and should have a very long life-span. 

Your masonry contractor should be familiar with many of the new products on the market, and can provide you with adequate resources to purchase the right look for your project. For a slightly higher investment, you can continue the “green” theme while still enjoying the sturdy and attractive look of tile. Request estimates from professional masonry contractors today.

Here is what has been said about our Tiling and Flooring Contractors:

I would like to say a few words of praise concerning Mark with Pyne Construction. Mark Pyne came through for us when no one else would. We were in a situation where we needed to sell my mothers home and had a bundle of construction issues that most contractors couldn't bother with. He not only took the work on but gave us Top Notch quality to boot. I would not hesitate to work with him again and I recommend him to anyone who has a project that requires quality and prompt attention.

This is just a quick note to thank you for your excellent work on my new bathroom. The custom shower is exactly what I wanted, and the remodeling utilizes the limited space perfectly. Again, thanks.
