Monica of Sage Construction  wanted a tile for the backsplash that would be most compatible with creamy cabinetry and white appliances.

The solution was combining subway Matte Bone 4 x 16 tiles with a row of Evolution 5/8 x 5/8 mosaic in Shimmer Sand to add a bit of sparkle and visual interest. The mosaic is like a piece of jewellery for the kitchen! The results are beautiful.

Tile – A green Choice October 23, 2009

Tile is a clever choice for anyone who wants to build green. Take a look at some facts that make ceramic and porcelain tile a environmentally-friendly material.

Life Cycle – When installed properly, ceramic and porcelain tile can last a lifetime. Unlike carpet, laminate or vinyl, ceramic and porcelain tile does not have to be replaced periodically.

Recycling – Most of the tile factories today are getting certified for eco responsible process. Reutilization of water and materials are common ground.

Air Quality -Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is a big factor on many health problems. Ceramic and porcelain tile are fired to extremely high temperatures removing 100% volatile organics. You also can use grout and adhesives with zero or close to zero VOCs.

Hypoallergenic – Tile is inhospitable to dust mites, mold, germs, and bacteria and often used to replace carpet for people with allergies or asthma.

Low maintenance –You don’t need chemicals to maintain the beauty of your tile. Often just warm water will do the job.
