Vetrazzo® - Sustainable Surfacing for LEED Projects
Vetrazzo® Recycled Glass Surfacing provides a stunning and
distinctive green signature for LEED projects. At Vetrazzo, we are
committed to the highest sustainability standards. We work hard to
source local glass and we use only recycled, un-processed glass in
our manufacturing. In
fact, many of our designs are made from 100% post-consumer recycled
glass obtained directly from local curbside recycling programs.
Installed, Vetrazzo surfaces, each with their unique story of the
glass source, provide a focal point to spark conversation about the
importance of recycling and sustainable building practices.

Mexico, Wyoming, Montana, parts of Kansas and Nebraska.
Vetrazzo is an extremely durable and easy-to-maintain surface. It’s
comparable to granite in strength, scratch resistance, heat
resistance, durability, and care & maintenance.
Will it stain?
Vetrazzo is less porous than marble and concrete and equivalent to
some granite. But you do have to care for it. 85% of the surface is
glass, which is impervious to stain. However, acids (like red wine,
lemon juice, and vinegar) will etch the matrix of the surface (the
concrete area between the glass) if not cleaned up right away. And
staining agents (like coffee and tea) will leave a trace if allowed
to remain on the surface.
Luckily, like aged butcher block, marble, and concrete, signs of
living can actually enhance the character of the surface. If you
clean messes up quickly, your Vetrazzo will remain unchanged.
If you are more carefree, you may appreciate the natural patina that
develops as you live with and enjoy your Vetrazzo. Also, dark mixes
and those with patina hide the signs of a carefree lifestyle
remarkably well.
Need a lot of maintenance?
No. It’s mostly glass. Keep it clean with soap and water, (avoiding
harsh abrasives). When the mood strikes you, buff it with a wax a
few times a year
Can you put a hot pot on it?
Yup. It’s glass and concrete. As with any sealed surface, prolonged
excessive heat could compromise the sealant. So if you do this
often, be sure to reseal periodically.
Durable?
You bet. Vetrazzo installations are in buildings that have seen
millions of visitors since they’ve been installed and show no signs
of wear.
Dwell magazine referred to it as “a superhero of the countertop
world.
