We all want to be environmentally responsible. We also want our tile flooring to look fabulous. Thanks to new product innovations in the flooring industry, we no longer have to make a choice between the two. Folks, we can finally “have our cake and eat it too,” (only this time without that little voice in our heads reminding us about calories).
If you are like me, you have a few “wants” from any product you buy. Colour Scheme, a new collection by Daltile, is a product I’ve recently found that meets all of my “wants” (and yes, I know we’ve been talking about Daltile products the past two weeks, but they’ve given us reason to sing their praises). Colour Scheme boasts of the following attributes:
- It’s Green! – This product contains more than 60% pre-and post-consumer recycled material content (RMC%).
- It’s Made in the USA - We buy American any time we have the chance at my house.
- Technical Performance - This tile is built with an additional layer of protection which provides superior surface wear resistance and lasts the life of the tile.
- Incredible Technical Performance - Colour Scheme is scratch, stain, and frost-resistant!
- MicrobanR Antimicrobial Protection – We talked about this technology last week. This inhibits the growth of stain and odor-causing bacteria on the surface of the tile.
If you are considering a new tile floor for a room in your home, and you find yourself seeking something a little more environmentally responsible, check out Colour Scheme. I’m sure you’ll be glad you did.
