Bio Glass by Coverings Etc.

We're cooling off just looking at this Bio Glass from Coverings Etc.. Actually, the oppressive humidity has broken and we think it really is cooling off out there, but this recycled glass material looks cool, nonetheless.

Bio Glass is 100% recyblable, and can be used as a finish on floors (!), walls, and countertops. The material comes in a 3/4" thickness and sheets as long as 8'. In polished or hammered finishes, this stuff is marvelous and would bring a soothing feeling to any space. We want to see a huge single slab of it as our tiny bathroom's floor.

That one in the first picture is gorgeous and I think would be instantly relaxing. Sign me up for a bathroom floor also!

Um, isn't *all* glass 100% recyclable?

I think she meant 100% recycled. At least according to the site, it is.

I love the idea of it in the bathroom, esp the deep blue. But what's the cost?
