Top 28 Eco- Friendly Tiles updated Feb- 2009
Written by Cathy on May 30, 2008 – 12:09 am -Welcome back!
Its All About the Surfacing!
You can use tile for many surfaces, countertops, walls, floors, cabinets and more. Many of the countertop manufacturers actually do floors, tables and sinks as well. Since my luck on finding good deals on Craiglists is about the same as me winning lotto, decided to investigate other options.
Please note that many of these companies as well as the countertop companies also manufacture other surfaces as well. All of the below companies products utilize recycled materials in their production.
Once again, these are very hard to find in San Diego!
