At Avantgarde Tiling, sustainability isn’t just a feature of our work—it’s the foundation.
We specialise in incorporating reclaimed materials such as natural stone, granite, bricks, ceramic tiles and wood into bespoke terrazzo and polished finishes. Our approach not only brings stunning, high-end aesthetics finishes to life but also significantly reduces waste, ensuring that no resource goes unused.
A Proven Approach to Sustainable Design
Our well-established method transforms what would traditionally be discarded— whether it’s offcuts from natural stone slab cuttings or reclaimed architectural elements removed from existing installations—into high-quality terrazzo finishes. These finishes exceed traditional designs in both appearance and strength. By reusing materials like natural stone, we significantly reduce environmental impact while delivering long-lasting robust surfaces.
Circular Sustainability: Recycling the Recycled
We take sustainability beyond the first life of the material . Our terrazzo finishes, incorporating these recycled materials, can again be recycled. If clients decide to refresh their design in the future, the materials can be repurposed, creating a closed-loop, circular system. This unique “recycling the recycled” approach maximises the life and value of the materials and minimises their environmental footprint.
Versatility in Application
From striking floors and walls to bespoke staircases and custom architectural elements, our sustainable terrazzo is as versatile as it is eco-friendly. We work closely with clients to deliver unique designs that align with their aesthetic goals while supporting environmentally conscious building practices.
Environmental and Design Benefits of Our Sustainable Approach
- Waste Reduction: Repurposing reclaimed materials, dramatically reduces waste that would otherwise go to landfill.
- Resource Conservation: Recycled materials minimises the need for virgin resources, significantly lowering environmental impact.
- Durability: Our terrazzo finishes are built to last and are easy to repair, ensuring reduced replacement needs and long-term cost efficiency.
- Tailored Solutions: Our terrazzo finishes offer full customisation in texture and colour, allowing for bespoke designs that reflect the unique vision of each project.
Supporting Green Building Certifications
Our sustainable solutions contribute to achieving numerous green building certifications, such as BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method). By using reclaimed materials, we support BREEAM’s goals of waste reduction, resource efficiency, and promoting the circular economy. The durability of our terrazzo reduces the need for frequent replacement, further contributing to lifecycle cost efficiency, while our material reuse helps developers meet BREEAM requirements for sustainable sourcing. These practices align with BREEAM’s core principles, helping projects achieve higher certification levels and promote eco-conscious building standards.
Setting the Standard for Sustainable Construction
At Avantgarde Tiling, sustainability isn’t a trend—it’s a refined practice embedded in our core philosophy. For years, we’ve shown how thoughtful design can coexist with environmental responsibility, setting a benchmark for the industry. By integrating reclaimed materials into terrazzo finishes, we not only deliver high- end, bespoke designs but also provide sustainable solutions that stand the test of time.
