Recycled Countertops
Did you ever wonder what happens to all those old glass bottles, stemware and other items that you throw in the recycling bin at the dump? Well, don’t be surprised if the next time you see them, they are in your new countertop!
That’s right, some of today’s most beautiful and innovative recycled countertops are made from old glass! While this may sound a little strange and, perhaps, even dangerous, recycled glass actually makes a beautiful countertop and, don’t worry, you won’t cut yourself while using it!
To make these recycled countertops, a concrete base is used and the glass is set in it and then polished and surfaced so that it is smooth on the top. The end product is actually a really beautiful looking piece that has colorful glass inside. The concrete itself can be tinted to be any color and you can have a monochromatic theme with one color glass or a countertop that has different colors of glass.
If you’re looking for a unique, beautiful, functional and clean countertop for your kitchen remake, then you might consider this type of counter. After all, what better way to recycle those old kitchen bottles and glasses and to use them as a beautiful and functional countertop.
