From TV to tiles

For too many years, discarded television sets and computer monitors have been ending up as landfill around the world simply because no-one had found a use for the components.

Californian manufacturer Fireclay Tile, however, has built its reputation on making bespoke tiles using recycled materials and with some help from crowd-source funding Kickstarter is now producing a line of CRT glass tiles. The glass is ground and de-magnetised then melted to re-form as beautiful grey tiles that come in polished or matte finish.
