Alterna is proud to be the architectural representative and regional distributor for Terra Green Ceramics in Florida, Georgia and the Caribbean, including Puerto Rico. Terra Green has been manufacturing recycled content ceramic tile since the late 1970s. Over the years, Terra Green’s product development team has created a full line of floor and wall ceramic tiles, all manufactured with recycled glass – and certified by Scientific Certification Systems.
Terra Green is the premiere choice for commercial and residential installations. While all of Terra Green’s ceramic tile products are manufactured with over 55% pre-consumer recycled glass, each product line has its own unique appearance, characteristics, and color choices. From the porcelain look of Terra Traffic, the contemporary styling of Terra Elements, or the richness of Terra Crackle, Terra Green stands out and will accentuate any exterior or interior setting.
Recycled content is an integral part of the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED™ rating system. As such, Terra Green’s ceramic tile may contribute to LEED™ Credits 4.1 and 4.2 for Recycled Content. Additionally, the tile is manufactured in Richmond, Indiana (zip code 47374) and, therefore, LEED™ Credits 5.1 and 5.2 may also be available for projects located within 500 miles of the plant. Moreover, from a purely sustainable point of view and based on studies conducted in accordance with standards developed by the International Standards Organization (ISO), ceramic tile is the most sustainable floor covering available on the market today.
Ceramic tile is typically available in “field tile” and “trim pieces.” Field tiles are the flat tiles used for floor and wall applications. Terra Green field tiles area available in 4” x 4”, 4” x 8”, 3” x 6”, 8” x 8”, and 12” x 12”. Custom sizes, such as 3” x 11”, can be manufactured, but field tile size CANNOT be larger than 12” x 12”. Additionally, Terra Green, unlike many of its competitors, offers a full range of trim pieces, such as bullnose and cove base, in all tile colors.
Because Terra Green is blade-cut rather than laser cut, the tile has a 3/16” size tolerance. This means that tile size can vary slightly so that all the tiles are not exactly the same size, thereby requiring a slightly larger grout joint for installation.
Whether you are designing a LEED™ project or simply desire a beautiful product, Terra Green is your sustainable and stylish choice for ceramic tile. All of the following products lines have their own unique appearance, characteristics and colors.
