Product Description, Applications
Heritage Glass, Inc., aggregates are comprised of post-industrial and post-consumer recycled glass content. They are nonporous, resistant to most acids, and may be used alone or in combination with marble or other aggregate.
Heritage Glass, Inc., uses an innovative process for recycling and reworking glass bottles and window glass. The result is a unique terrazzo aggregate with a multidimensional shape and permanent color not found in natural marble aggregates. The color permeates the transparent glass, creating a luminous sense of depth not possible with other aggregates such as marble, metal, plastic chips or crushed scrap glass.
Large quantities of aggregate can be custom blended and delivered for specific applications. Tumbling is also available for applications requiring quantities of smooth “beach glass” or river rock.
