Fireclay Tile, Defining Sustainable Surfaces

Fireclay Tile is leading the way in how sustainable tile is defined.  Now manufacturing in it’s 25th year, Fireclay has taken it’s practice of producing the most beautiful, timeless and quality focused surfaces and added over 60% recycled material to make it LEED compliant.  And like the best tile made, it should outlive the structure its installed in.  Reusing discarded material in tile, called grog, is part of the traditional manufacturing process.  In the case of Fireclay Tile’s Debris series the grog is both post-industrial and post-consumer waste adding body to the terra cotta tile.  Enhancing the LEED credit value, where transportation distance matters,  West Coast installations generally score a little better with manufacturing located in northern California. 

Even when recycled content and LEED standards aren’t drivers for selecting a tile, the beauty of Fireclay Tile places it in the realm of the most beautiful handmade tile manufactured.  Norberry tile appreciates that we can make the most beautiful installations possible with Fireclay Tile.  The most beautiful commercial projects work with Norberry Tile to capture responsible and beautiful installations.
