What's Hot Tile Talk: Green-ovations + Upgrades ♻️
October 8, 2024When it comes to home renovations, every decision counts—especially those that can impact the environment. Choosing sustainable options and practices will not only enhance the beauty of your home but also help protect the planet. At Bedrosians, we believe in the power of eco-conscious choices, and our diverse tile collections make it easy to transform your space with both style and sustainability in mind.
Embrace Sustainability: Make Every Step Eco-Friendly
Many of our tile collections feature responsibly sourced materials. Opt for tiles made from recycled content, such as glass or porcelain. The Magnifica collection, for instance, includes durable, high-quality porcelain tiles, slabs and mosaics, perfect for an eco-friendly kitchen or bath upgrade.
Select Durable Tiles
Sustainability isn’t just about the materials; it’s also about longevity. Durable, high-quality tiles can last for decades with proper care, meaning you won’t need frequent replacements. Our collections offer a range of timeless designs that outlast fleeting trends, ensuring that your tile installation will remain stylish for years to come.
Use Environmentally Friendly Installation Materials
Consider low-VOC adhesives, sealers, and grout when installing your tiles. These products release fewer pollutants into the air, contributing to better indoor air quality. At Bedrosians, we offer guidance on choosing the right materials to complement our tiles, so you can make sustainable choices from start to finish.
Embrace Water Efficiency
When installing tile in moisture-prone areas, like bathrooms or kitchens, use water-efficient practices. Properly sealing tiles can reduce the amount of water needed for cleaning, and integrating waterproof underlayments can protect your walls and floors for years, helping you avoid frequent repairs or replacements.
Repurpose and Recycle
If you’re replacing existing tiles, think about how you can repurpose or recycle them. Broken tiles can be upcycled into mosaics, while whole tiles may be donated to local reuse centers. Ask your Bedrosians showroom for suggestions on recycling options in your area, and turn waste into a new opportunity for creativity.
Sustainable tile installations are about making mindful choices—without sacrificing beauty. Whether it’s the soft earth tones of our Celine collection or the bold elegance of Magnifica, there’s a sustainable tile option to suit your style. You can create a stunning, eco-friendly space that’s uniquely yours while knowing your renovation is as gentle on the planet as it is on the eyes.
Depending upon your remodel or upgrade, incorporating sustainability doesn't require an arduous amount of time or effort in planning. With the right resources and the willingness to take steps into being green or greener, you can achieve reducing your carbon footprint and potentially increase your initiatives in other areas of your daily life.
