Recycled Bottles and Jars make a Countertop

Vetrazzo® is a recycled glass countertop surface comprised of 100% recycled glass.   The countertop material is very eco-friendly as it's comprised with a  high glass content ( 85% by volume).  From architectural to art glass, to beer bottles and jars, each mix is a signature blend of color and life.  Vetrazzo is durable and more resistant to surface damage than other stone.  However, all stone can be damaged by force and no stone is chip-proof.   Objects hitting edges particularly at sinks or dishwashers may cause chips. Surface markings are more visible on monotone colors than multi-colored surfaces.

Vetrazzo is comprised of 85% Recycled Glass and 15% modified Portland White Cement. Variation in the glass source of a Vetrazzo slab is the result of the recycling process made possible by the nature of comingled recycling. As a result the color, pattern, size, shape and shade are inherent and unique characteristics to be expected in a slab of eco friendly Vetrazzo.   This does not affect the product performance in any manner.   Random bits of glass that differ from the predominant color of the glass in the slab can be expected.  From time to time the glass sources will change, and while the source may remain, 'beverage bottles', or 'demolition glass', the beverage brand, or the old building the glass came from can change, and result in a slab that differs slightly.


Vetrazzo makes for a great eco-friendly countertop surface and fabricators are available nationwide.   For more information visit www.vetrazzo.com.
