Mosaic Source Recycled 1″ x 1″ Glass Tile Series
With the unabated increase in the volume of garbage disposed of in many cities and municipalities, waste management is inevitably becoming more difficult. Landfills are filling up and thus are polluting the land, and even our rivers and oceans are now hosts to floating debris. It is for this reason that environmentalists are pushing hard for measures that could limit this pollution, including the three Rs –reduce, reuse, and recycle. Among the items currently being recycled are broken glass from automobiles, windows, and bottles. Some of these find their way into glass tiles such as the Mosaic Source Recycled 1″ x 1″ Glass Tile Series.
The Mosaic Source recycled glass tiles comprise 30 – 70% recycled glass making them eco-friendly as they help reduce the volume of glass materials in the landfills. Notwithstanding the fact that they come from waste materials, the tiles can look beautiful and appealing. Thus, with these tiles, you are actually hitting two birds with a single stone –helping the planet and beautifying your home.
Being impervious to water, glass tiles are perfect for your bathroom, kitchen, and pool or spa area. You can overlay your bathroom walls and floors with glass tiles to give your room a vibrant and airy finish. You can also use them for your kitchen backsplash and counters to provide the area with style and glamour. Your pool and spa can acquire added pizzazz and flair with glass tile highlights.
