Eco-Terr Tiles from Coverings, Etc.

Eco-Terr tiles are made from recycled granite, marble, river rock, and glass chips with a cementitious binder. Tiles contain 80 percent postconsumer recycled content, and slabs contain 70 percent, helping attain LEED points MR 4.1 and 4.2. Tiles are available in 16"x16"x5/8" and 24"x24"x3/4" and in slabs of 100"x56" with 3/4" or 1 1/4" thickness. They are rectified and calibrated, which makes for easy and exact installation, and butt joint installation is possible. Available in 28 colors, with customization options available, Eco-Terr tiles plus installation is about half the cost of poured terrazzo plus installation.
