The sustainable custom countertop Vetrazzo comprises nearly 85% purposefully selected reclaimed glass. So, these products are redesignated to re-design and beautify the environment, instead of taking up precious landfill space. The origins of the glass used in Vetrazzo’s products are traced, so each purchase includes a Certificate of Transformation to let buyers know the story behind their countertop.
Vetrazzo is a California-based company that specializes in developing and producing interior designs from recycled glass and other sustainable products. Vetrazzo, the product, offers a sustainable alternative to granite and other quarried stone. It can be used for kitchen and bath countertops, fireplace mantles, table and desktops, bars and other surfaces.
This sustainable product was invented in 1996 in Berkeley, California – back when ‘green’ was just a color. A glass scientist working on his PhD, driven by his passion for the environment, got the idea to recapture the inherent beauty of recycled glass by transforming it into a functionally superior building material. He teamed up with a like-minded Bay Area architect and they formed a partnership to produce Vetrazzo in small, hand-made batches for the local building community. In October 2006, the new team, under the banner of Vetrazzo, LLC, opened the doors on a brand new manufacturing facility in California.
As a result of its dedication to green solutions, the company is a member of the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) and the Green Chamber of Commerce. It also maintains membership as a Certified Bay Area Green Business.
Interior Innovations specializes in kitchen accessories such as kitchen cabinets, Tucson cabinets, and custom countertops.
