A story in every surface

Concern for the environment, and wanting chic, distinctive products in your home need not be mutually exclusive concepts.

Vetrazzo is crafted from 100% recycled glass mixed with cement, additives and pigments, for use as countertops, vanities and tabletops. Glass sources include beverage bottles from curbside recycling, industrial scrap from window and door manufacturers, production overruns from stained glass manufacturers and even unusual sources such as traffic light lenses. Once Vetrazzo is made into panels and installed, the homeowner is given information about the source of the glass.

Vetrazzo is available in bold and neutral tones, and in a variety of mixes with glass pieces that range from small to large, depending on the desired effect. President James Sheppard says where large pieces are used, you can see half an inch or more into the surface, creating tops with luster and depth.

"The variations in color and the way the glass pieces are distributed mean each panel is unique you can be sure no one else has a Vetrazzo panel exactly like yours," he says.
