Oceanside Glasstile is fabricated in Carlsbad. Oceanside Glasstile is made from recycled post-consumer and post-industrial glass waste.
Glass is all natural, does not offgas, resists the growth of mold and mildew, won't scratch and is easy to clean. I suggest a citrus based cleaner to keep the surface and grout joints perfect. A natural sealer could be used on the grout to avoid the growth of mildew.

These glass tiles are manufactured in a similar manner to conventional products except that energy consumption for the processing of raw materials has been reduced because they contain recycled glass (depending on color). However, energy consumption is still greater than some other products. Extraction impacts are also reduced by the use of recycled wastes. Oceanside Glasstile uses more than 600 tons of recycled glass annually, manufacturing a wide range of tile with post-consumer recycled bottle content ranging from 25% to 85% by volume, while certain specialty colors consist of 100% post-industrial recycled glass.
Glass tiles, whether conventional or green, release no emissions into the indoor environment, and their hard surfaces allow them to be thoroughly cleaned with ease. These products are among the best-tolerated by people with chemical sensitivities or chronic respiratory ailments.
