| Why Recycled Glass? by Amanda Robinson Owner, MavoPavo.com |
| First, let me express how much I love recycled glass countertops. Really, they are my favorite choice of countertops because they are beautiful, completely eco and last forever. Recycled glass slabs have a shiny luster and the multi specs of glass reflect the light creating a sparkling array of colors. The counter tops look expensive, yet they are cost effective, and require less maintenance than plain old traditional granite countertops. In addition, to the aesthetics and smooth finish, recycled glass is also "highly durable, requires no seal, and are heat, mildew and chemical resistant." EnviroGLAS, located in Plano, Texas, offers various recycled glass products ranging from tiles to countertop slabs with so many available color options these countertops will compliment any style home. The Eco Reasons EnviroGLAS products are made up of about 75% post-consumer and post-industrial recycled glass combined with porcelain Terrazzo. Instead of billions of glass bottles filling up landfills, EnviroGLAS combines glass with porcelain Terrazzo to create VOC-free tiles which are durable and do not require toxic chemicals to maintain their beauty. Also, EnviroTRAZ floors require no grout which happens to be a breeding ground for mildew or mold to grow. |

| The countertops and flooring are sustainable because they are made to withstand the life of the structure and the floors last almost 40 year before needing to be refinished. You will not need, nor will you ever want to replace your recycled glass counter tops. If the need does arise for a different look you can recycled your floor so it can be ground up and created in to a new one How cool is that? |
