Enviroglas - A New Spin On An Old Technique

EnviroGLAS is a Dallas based company that specializes in environmentally friendly countertops and landscaping materials made from a mixture of 100% post recycled glass, mirrors, windows, mother of pearl, and the most recently added aggregate -  porcelain.  The design mix is created and combined with a special polymer based epoxy resin, poured into slab molds, smoothed off and allowed to dry for several hours.  Once dry the slab is sanded and polished to the desired finish.  The end result is a beautifully honed piece of art.

The process that Enviroglas uses to create their unique slabs is fundamentally based on the same principal that has been used for many years in the manufacturing of Terrazzo. 

Granite and other natural stone countertop options have become predictable and over the last few years have begun to lose favor.  With a multitude of aggregate colors available, Enviroglas offers an almost endless array of color options and design patterns.   The customer has the choice of selecting from an existing pattern or “preferred design,” or can create a custom pattern of their own.  The percentage of each chosen color (or aggregate) is weighed and calculated and the unique “recipe” is catalogue for each customer.  So if an order is placed today for example, and the customer decides that he or she wants more of the same pattern at a later date, Envoroglas would be able to recreate the custom design on a subsequent order, matching the initial order perfectly.  You do not have that option with granite or another natural stone.  Good luck placing  separate orders at different times and getting a color match.  You need to plan ahead with natural stone and order all that you will ever need in your original order. 

Besides a custom design, if you are looking for something different in your next kitchen or bath plan for hard surface areas, then Enviroglas may be an option you want to consider.  The product is lightweight, easily fabricated, beautiful, durable, unique and requires little or no maintenance.  It is made from 100% recycled material that is readily available, is VOC free, resistant to bacterial growth, stain, burn and chip-proof.  From an artistic and sustainability point of view, you would be hard pressed to find a better choice in countertop options than Enviroglas.
