If you want a stylish kitchen floor while doing your part to be
kind to the environment, you may want to consider terrazzo tile.
Like terrazo countertops, terrazzo tiles are made of recycled
glass and colored stones, which are bound with resins or
concrete. The recycled glass used in terrazzo countertops would
otherwise be polluting our streets and roadways.
With terrazzo tile you aren't limited to few color options.
The color mixtures are many and some manufacturers
even provide custom color selection services so that you can custom order the type your desired terrazzo tile color. Because terrazzo tile is a relatively new invention, it fits best in modern or post modern kitchen styles. Some manufacturers are happy to provide you with free samples upon request.
Consider This
Terrazzo tile is an excellent example of a product that is green for the environment but doesn't leave your bank account in the red.
Unlike natural stone tiles, terrazzo tiles do not require special care. You can clean them with regular household cleaners.
Does your project involve a new construction? If so you should inquire with your general contractor since terrazzo is an approved green building material and your project may qualify for LEEDS credit and receive environmental certifications.
Terrazzo tile can be very slippery, especially when wet and but there are special additives that can be introduced in the fabrication process.
