Evidence Base

Category estimate

No product evidence is attached to this generic material, so nothing on this card is numerical. The guidance below is qualitative — an AI-assisted category profile — for early design discussion, not for figures.

Next step: request a current product EPD or manufacturer carbon declaration, or swap in a branded product that holds one.

What's missing (3)

•No current product EPD is recorded.
•No quantified carbon result is recorded.
•No product-specific circularity or material-health claims are recorded.

Service Life — the B4 Replacement Input

30 years · basis not recorded

≈2 installations over a 60-year building study period.

B4 (replacement) follows the building, not the product: an assessor multiplies replacement cycles by project quantities. This record supplies the service life and does not compute B4.

Design & Specification Notes

Small-format mosaic tiles made with high recycled glass content, ideal for splashbacks, wet areas, and feature walls.

Typical Uses

•Wet areas
•Durable floors
•Wall tiling

Key Performance

Durable surface for daily wear.

Watch For

•
Cracking from substrate movement
Use movement joints and flexible adhesive systems in wet areas.
•
Staining in porous grout joints
Specify epoxy or sealed grout and a cleaning plan suited to occupancy.

Specification Actions

•Provide EPD and third-party declaration of recycled glass content (% post-consumer and pre-consumer).
•Verify slip resistance class, water absorption, and lead-free glaze compliance for interior hygiene areas.
•Use modular sheet formats and detail for selective replacement to avoid full-surface strip-out at maintenance cycles.

Indicative Health & Indoor Air

low Risk

Inert finish once installed. Verify grout and adhesive as low-VOC for enclosed wet areas.
