Tumbled Glass

Tumbled glass looks much like crushed stone or gravel, but comes with the added advantage of limitless color possibilities. You can make your walkways look like the blue sky above or green sea below. The tumbling process smooths the edges of the recycled glass, making them absolutely safe for any application.

Typical tumbled glass applications include walkways, garden mulch, mosaics and more. The paving designs that can be created using this material are phenomenal: waving lines, abstract art, mottling or solid color. Whatever your desire, tumbled glass can conform. The effect of a "walkable" art piece in or around your home is simply amazing. You can also use this material for Terazzo and epoxy flooring or countertops, dry river beds, fountains or fire pits. The uses are as endless as your imagination.
