We are trying to remodel our Sun City West home with recycled products and it is a challenge.

We are in the process of remodeling our Sun City West home. I am trying to use as much Green and recycled product as possible.

I like the look of a glass backsplash in the kitchen area. I have found a product line, Glass Crush that is both beautiful as well as functional. It is made from glass left over from the manufacturing of windows and solar product.

The company obtains the glass for industries located within a 20 mile radius of their facility. It is “crushed”, process, tinted with color and then kiln-fired.

Please take a look at their website, www.originatenbm.com for more information.

If you have another product you would suggest, please let me know. I have not made the decision and I am still exploring all options.

If you are looking for your own remodel project in Sun City Grand, Sun City West, Sun City Festival, Corte Bella, Arizona Traditions or Trilogy at Vistancia, please contact us.

Please click on our website, www.azgrandestates.com to see what these wonderful communities have you offer you. We look forward to helping you with your decision in the near future!

Interesting, Pamela. I hadn't heard of Glass Crush. I'm definitely going to check it out - thanks for the link. And, I'm with Betty - would love to see some before, during and after photos.

Thanks for sharing this information. Many consumers prefer green products and it is nice to find the green products that are also beautiful.

Have an outstanding week with your camera in hand.
