Bathroom materials

Choosing to refinish your bathroom floor using eco friendly sustainable flooring products is a sensible choice to make and it is not surprising that manufacturers are providing eco-friendly building product alternatives for homeowners living environments. These days going green doesn’t have to be a big investment. Eco friendly flooring should not only be made from natural materials but should be durable, recyclable and long lasting as well. When choosing materials you should consider the toxicity of the products as well as the way those items were created. Linoleum, glass ceramic tile and bamboo are three eco friendly flooring products you can use when creating that perfect green bathroom oasis.

Go Green Builders New Line, Eco-Leader by Refin Ceramiche

Keeping up with the latest efforts in "Green, Sustainable Building Products" is a 7/24 effort at Go Green Builders. It is with this ever-constant desire to “keep up” in mind that we made the choice to bring in one of our newest lines, by Refin Ceramiche, Eco-Leader.

Eco-leader is a color-body porcelain tile; manufactured using 40% pre-consumer recycled material. It is this 40% recycle content which enables Eco-Leader to meet the requirements for LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification, the most important and strict American certification for conservation of energy and the environment.

Although many have tried, Refin is the first Italian factory to create a tile awarded LEED certification. It is this first step–and Refin’s commitment to their mission of becoming a forerunner of environmental policies through conscious consumption and production–which sets them apart from other tile manufacturers. Eco-Leader comes in four sizes and colorways, each taken from Mother Nature’s color book; Sand, Ink, Ground and Stone.

We at Go Green Builders appreciate all that Refin is doing for the earth and look forward to seeing the many places Eco-Leader will be installed.
