We have found a new product, to us at least, that takes their environmental footprint seriously when it comes to producing countertops and flooring.

EnviroSLAB is a product made from 100% recycled glass and mixed with Porcelain and custom colored resin to form a very durable surface similar to Solid Surface and Engineered Stone.

It has a wide range of uses, most particulalry as a countertop surface for kitchens and bathrooms. It is also used for flooring as EnviroTRAZ and EnviroPLANK. Two beautiful flooring options using the same construction principles and environmental standards.
