EnviroGLAS Luminescent Terrazzo Enhances Safety an
Plano, TX, June 22--Eco-conscious architects and designers looking for ways to enhance emergency safety features have a new option -- EnviroGLO Terrazzo surfaces and landscaping mulch.
Through a proprietary process, post-consumer glass coated with luminescent paint is crushed into 1/8” to 5/8” pieces with virtually no sharp edges.
Mixed into an epoxy binder, the result is environmentally friendly and dazzling glow-in-the-dark Terrazzo. Non-toxic and non-radioactive, photo luminescent EnviroGLO Terrazzo charges by exposure to light and if all power fails, glows in the dark.
Responding to the World Trade Center Building Code Task Force recommendations, New York City’s new building codes now mandate photo luminescent glow-in-the-dark markings for exit doors and stairs in all buildings over 75 feet tall. EnviroGLO Terrazzo flooring and stairs can add to the safe exit of patrons and employees from buildings that have just lost power.
EnviroGLO is also available in the recently unveiled EnviroSLAB countertops and EnviroPLANK flooring tiles. These products bring exquisite 100% recycled glass Terrazzo into an affordable price range for anyone remodeling or constructing decorative surfaces and countertops. Luminescent EnviroGLO countertops and decorative tables can provide additional safety in the event of a power failure. With the eight glass options and fully customizable pigmented epoxy resin, EnviroGLAS color possibilities are numerous.
EnviroGLAS is a new trend in eco-friendly, sustainable indoor and outdoor applications. The conservation-minded who mulch to help retain moisture in the soil and reduce water evaporation can now be twice as green as well as provide enhanced luminescence by mulching with EnviroGLO recycled glass aggregate.
EnviroGLAS®Products Inc. converts post-consumer and industrial glass bound for the landfill into elegant, sustainable and ecological hard surfaces and landscaping materials. A recent independent analysis found that of the 69 LEED points available, EnviroGLAS Terrazzo can contribute to seven or more.
