DURABILITY AS PART OF SUSTAINABILITY
Glass tile is a very strong building material* that is impervious to water
and freeze/thaw resistant. This long-lasting durability further adds to its
sustainability.

*Pre-consumer materials are generated during our manufacturing process and may consist of scrap and trimmings that were never
used in the consumer market.
**Post-Industrial: Material from manufacturing processes where virgin resources would otherwise go to waste. This material is
collected and used in a product other than that for which it was originally used.
***Post-consumer material is an end product that has completed its life cycle as a consumer item and would otherwise have been
disposed of as a solid waste. Oceanside Glasstile's post-consumer material is recycled bottle glass (cullet) from curbside
recycling programs.
