Glass Tiles:  Eye Candy

Eye Candy

This colorful arrangement of tiles is made entirely from recycled glass that otherwise would be clogging a landfill.

Its creator, Sandhill Industries, is a pioneer in the reuse of glass, starting with an award from the Alaska Science and Technology Foundation. Now based in Idaho to be closer to supplies, the company produces 36 colors of glass tiles.

Ranging from vibrant to subdued shades, the tiles can be combined into mosaics for stunning patterns.

Pictured here is Concept Board #11 with Candy Apple and Peppercorn tiles.

Sandhill has remained true to its environmentally correct roots, producing its tiles using half the energy required for conventional ceramic tiles.

Field tiles are available in 4” squares, diamonds or triangles, 3” x 6” and 2” x 4” bars, as well as rails. The company also sells dozens of mesh-mounted mosaic and border designs using colorful bits as small as 1” square.

Or if you've got an artistic bent, the company will mount a mosaic of your own creation.
