EnviroGLAS completes installation of a recycled glass terrazzo floor in the green luxury suite at the Dallas Cowboy’s Valley Ranch practice facility in Irving, Texas. The three-story suite, built by Green Star Builders of Dallas, features state-of-the-art green building attributes: a high efficiency ductless HVAC system, Low-E reflective glass windows, a standing seam metal roof, foam insulation, low VOC paint, tankless water heaters, CFL lighting and custom terrazzo floors made by EnviroGLAS. EnviroGLAS custom flooring is made from unique mixtures of recycled glass; including recycled beer bottles, car windshields and plate and stained glass windows. Additional aggregate options include reflective mirror, mother-of-pearl and recycled porcelain called EnviroMODE - made from pre-consumer recycled Kohler® toilets and sinks. Different aggregate combinations are mixed with a custom colored epoxy resin, then poured by hand to create an exquisite flooring application. Other EnviroGLAS products include EnviroSLAB countertops, EnviroSCAPE landscape aggregate and EnviroPLANK flooring tiles which are also used for vertical wall applications – quite stunning! EnviroGLAS products not only look good, they are low maintenance, extremely durable, have a lifecycle of over 40 years and contribute to 8 or more LEED credits.

Our clients love it and we look forward to working with EnviroGLAS for years to come.” Green Star Builders is a leader in environmentally conscious construction for residential and commercial sectors.
