Cinca vitrified porcelain ceramic mosaics can help green building projects obtain LEED® certification.
Porcelain tile, with a potential 50+ year lifespan, is ideal for projects with extended life requirements. It is highly durable and ideal in heavy commercial to residential sites where extreme slip resistance is required.
Manufactured from clay and minerals, abundant natural elements that do not emit pollutants, it is non-toxic and can be installed with low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) setting materials. As an inert and low maintenance surfacing material, cleaning can be accomplished without the use of harsh chemicals.
Properly maintained ceramic tile does not promote mold & mildew. Dust, insects and allergens have no place to hide on the smooth impervious surface and are easily vacuumed away. Vitrified ceramic tile is nonabsorbent and will not trap odorants or contaminants from other materials, thus making it a perfect surfacing material for Indoor Environmental Quality projects.
Use of Cinca vitrified porcelain mosaics may positively impact, directly and indirectly, the achievement of the following LEED® credit points:
