Building Green Communities

Focusing on environmentally sustainable materials, reduction of negative environmental impacts and increased energy efficiency Glass Recycled countertops is almost a must when it comes to making a "green" statement in your home.Going "green" is much more than a trend- in fact people have been doing the "green" for years. I recently came in contact with a woman from the Breckenridge, CO area, she shared her personal experience with Glass Recycled with me!

The health of our communities, our planet, and ourselves depend on how we plan, design, and construct our live style from this point on.

Being one of the first proprieties permitted to go forth with the new Green Community/"green lifestlye" the Breckenridge home owners found Glass Recycled . 
 
"I found [Glass Recycled] and really wanted to put it to use.  Since my kitchen cabinets were cobalt, I was ready to go with the cobalt glass in the countertop.  The other colors in the slab make everything blend together - stainless, aluminum, frosted glass - it is perfect!"
 
Starting with the cabinet's striking color, the family was able to create a perfect creation of recycled mirror, glass, and frosted glass to match their kitchen cabinets! 
 
"We ask[ed] for bigger chunks of glass and mirror and a more white base - the result was a wetbar [in addition to their kitchen] that pops and a fun laundry room."
