Naturally Sourced & Locally Made
Tile flooring is made using natural clay and raw earth-based materials and it can be produced just about anywhere, which cuts down on the carbon footprint of transporting materials. By purchasing materials that are made close by, you are ensuring that wasteful practices are not being implemented to get your flooring materials to you.Long-Lasting Durability
Both ceramic and porcelain tile flooring are extremely durable. The dense, hard body of tile make them last considerably longer than other flooring options. You can be assured that as long as you are taking care of your tile, it will last for generations.No Toxic Release
Certain flooring materials like plastic and carpeting slowly release toxic compounds into the environment. Tile flooring is essentially benign to the earth as it decomposes, making it a much safer option.Chemical-free Cleaning
To clean your tile flooring, no toxic chemical cleaning solutions are needed. Most messes can be cleaned with a damp mop, and while stickier messes may require soap, a natural non-detergent soap can be used. Household cleaners largely contribute to airborne pollutants and should be avoided whenever possible.Made with Recycled Materials
Most modern tiles are made of almost 40% recycled materials, making them extremely environmentally friendly. There are even tile flooring options made from 100% recycled materials and are recyclable themselves. Used tiles can be used in the production of other building materials like cement, brick, and tile mosaics without any pre-treatments. Even glazes can be recycled, making tile one of the only flooring materials that can be used without producing any waste.It's important to think beyond ourselves when choosing materials for our home.
