Description
Ecotech is a progressive, through-body, porcelain tile created from
primarily recycled material. Two of the colors in the series,
Ecogreen and Ecodark meet the requirements set by the LEED building
rating system and may be used to earn LEED MR Credits 4.1 and 4.2.
Tiles in these two colors have been certified by Bureau Veritas.
Colors + Finishes
The through-body field tiles are available in four solid colors
(Ecolight, Ecogrey, Ecogreen and Ecodark). Each color is offered in
a matte and textured finish.
Sizes
Standard nominal (and actual) tile sizes are 8"x16" (7.87"x15.75"),
16"x16" (15.75"x15.75", 16"x32" (15.75"x30.50"),
24"x24"(23.62"x23.62"), and 24"x48" (23.62"x47.24") with a thickness
of 7/16" (11mm). Tiles with a thickness of 9/16" (15mm) are offered
in 8"x16" (7.87"x15.75") 16"x16" (15.75"x15.75") tiles for heavy
industrial flooring applications. In addition, there is a 2"x2" (5x5
cm) mosaic with a matte finish, plus a bullnose and stair treads.
Recycled Content
Materials normally sent to disposal companies are the base
ingredients in the mix of Ecotech. The baked by-products are tiles
separated at the end of the production process due to superficial
defects. Raw by-products are created during the pressing, drying and
glazing phases and the powders are generated during the pressing and
mixing stage. Both are primarily clay, feldspar and sand. Industrial
water refers to the water derived from the grinding and atomization
mixture departments, grinding of glaze, and the glazing process. The
sludge is particulate matter that has been separated from water used
in the production process.
Applications
Tiles are suitable for interior and exterior walls, as well as
interior residential and heavy-traffic commercial floors. When
properly installed, Ecotech meets or exceeds industry standards for
slip resistance. All tiles are rectified allowing for tight grout
joints.
Installation + Maintenance
Tiles can be installed using standard installation methods for
thinset adhesives. Use high quality adhesive and grout from
manufacturers such as Laticrete and Mapei, following manufacturers'
recommendations, depending on conditions. Clean with a neutral
detergent when needed.
