The new method of recycling bottles into countertops is unheard of, and that makes it an incredibly fresh and lovable idea! California’s BottleStone makes counters out of 80% recycled glass and 20% from cement and ceramic, all of which is then kiln-fired, like pottery resulting in a stunning durable and green surface. Did you know that one-inch thick BottleStone is as strong as 1.5 inches of standard brick or 2.5 inches of concrete? I mean, all this time we all had the notion that marble or granite were the only things that could make counters look beautiful, and that there’s no other eco-friendly substitute that could bring the same polished look.
But this idea proves that notion completely wrong! These counters also come in four colors, but because it’s a man-made ceramic, it can be glazed, stained or waxed in any colour you desire. With this new discovery a lot of people will be prepared to convert their kitchen tops, and guess what, it’s cheaper than most of the stone surfaces that you use and also looks incredibly stylish. So what are you waiting for, hurry and make some space for the brand new “green” countertops!
