Finish: ModRocks
ModRocks are 100% recycled clear glass pebble tile. check out the different installations available from the same product. eco-friendly, good looking, and modern...triple threat!
Consumer bottles are crushed into small pieces, tumbled and then mesh mounted onto 12" by 12" interlocking sheets. Average sheet thickness and individual chip size is approximately 1cm or 3/8" each. These are 100% recycled glass, and since there is no melting involved, very little energy is used in the production process. (via modwalls)
