Who would have thought a recycled glass countertop could gleam and sparkle the way granite and quartz does? Vatrazzo does just this using a combination of recycled glass and cement.  Eighty-five percent of the total material is actual recycled glass making it one of the greenest products in today's market.  All you do is choose a mix (glass colors) from a wide range of pallets Vatrazzo provides.  A very unique draw to using this product in a kitchen or bathroom remodel is knowing that no one else has a countertop that looks exactly like yours; it's one of a kind!

This has to be one of our favorite products for a "green solution" home remodeling trend.  We would love to show you samples of this exquisite material that could create a design possibility for your next home kitchen or bath remodel.

Cork? Used as flooring?  Sounds very... unique, right?  Well yes, it's unique, but a very smart choice when picking out new flooring for your remodel.  Its uniqueness makes it a wonderful way for you to contribute in being environmentally conscious.

Cork is 100% recyclable, biodegradable and natural. The thermal insulation properties of the material help lower the use of energy to heat and cool your home, saving you money.  Beside the benefits it can bring in "going green" it has the ability to reduce sound transmission and vibration because of its complex structure, making it a perfect sound insulator.  It also, is a shock absorber, helping to prevent back and joint pain. The benefits of using cork in your home go on and on!

There are several companies in the US and Canada that produce this amazing material.  It comes in many different styles and colors.  There are ways of adding red highlights to a pattern or picking out any solid color you like.  The design possibilities are endless!  Not only used for flooring, it can be used as a wall surface, like in the photo shown here.  The cork covered wall adds much more than what just a splash of paint could do for the room.
