In searching for new exciting materials for our current project on Hill Road in Montecito, I came across some extraordinary and beautiful 100%-recycled glass tiles. The colors are amazing when playing off natural light and even more so when back-lit. Distributed by Coverings Etc., this exciting company was founded in 1998 to source innovative natural stone and mosaics. They expanded in the new millennium to cater to a growing popular demand for eco-friendly and engineered-stone surface materials. They are a a member of the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) and use of their products contributes to LEED points that are essential when going for LEED Certification--especially the Platinum level we are striving for.
