LEED Credit Opportunity
Inca tiles are made entirely from a combination of pre and post consumer recycled content. The aluminum for the tiles comes from a variety of sources, such as aluminum cans, window manufacturing leftovers, transformer coils, industrial scrap and trailer pulley wreckage. The brass, which has a small amount of virgin zinc, is recycled from sources as varied as water meters, keys, used faucets, and copper pipes. The tiles, manufactured in Mexico, are then finished by hand; and their durability makes them ideal for high-moisture areas.
This exquisite metal tile program is quite modern in style, but has a beautiful rustic quality created by hand-rubbed finishes and mottled surfaces. Inca's aluminum finishes lend a cool, contemporary feel, while the brass offers a warm rustic tone.
