The appearance can range from subtle fine particles to large colorful glass fragments. Cement-based products may require sealing and can react to acids depending on the binder. Resin-based products may have different heat and ultraviolet limitations. Edges can chip, and repairs may remain visible because of the patterned glass. Environmental benefits depend on recycled content, binder chemistry, transportation, and manufacturing documentation.

Key considerations

  • stain resistance
  • heat resistance
  • recycled content
  • glass fragments
  • multiple colors
  • environmental options
