![]() We measure everything that contributes to our carbon footprint, from the factory floor to the packaging that your order arrives in.Īs we work to drive our emissions to zero, we believe that we should be held accountable for our environmental impact. Geon Tile has partnered with Climate Smart for accurate measurement, reporting and certification as we work diligently to minimize our footprint. Reducing our environmental impact has been a top priority since day one. And the construction industry is one of the largest contributors. Climate change and its effects are putting humanity’s survival at risk. Add to that, it is bulky and heavy, and thus not very efficient to ship. Tile is challenging to manufacture in Canada because of limited access to raw materials and pigments. ![]() We're hoping to go light - kind of Scandinavian look - but they're red oak and we don't want to end up with pink floors, so we'll see what the floor guy says.Īnyway, thanks for these ideas! I just ordered some 2"圆" zellige that we'll use for the hearth if we can't find a good piece of stone before they start the work.We don’t hide that Geon Tile pollutes the planet. It's Fireclay Rocky Mountain 2"x8" Not sure if you have thoughts on that. I'm actually kind of worried about our firebox tile, now, as the sample's looking more and more taupe than gray as the days go by. ![]() ![]() We're doing the brass trim, too, like in that last picture. So I took the advice of many and just went with something traditional that wouldn't be super eye-catching - would look original - but with the kind of funky, pretty zellige surround. I was drawn to doing something unexpected and minimalist/modern like this, but just because of how the entire space works, the architectural context, and because the fireplace is small, I didn't want it to stand out as some kind of statement piece. I've found designing a new fireplace in an old home super challenging as there were so many directions I could have gone. How cool is this? they used the tile on the bench! all depends on the coloring of everything around it. I'd prob do this^ w/the benches, the natural oak mantle, the white surround and continue it inset into the floor, OR, use a basalt or marble piece. they didn't do a hearth, but doing a solid black like basalt, or a white quartz would be fine. they have granite here, but yours would be the tile. I like the built in benches and the shiplap wall. if you're going to use a stone hearth, inset it in the floor so that it's flush w/the woodĤx4 zellige, marble hearth, inset in to wood floor, shiplap wall, natural wood mantle.Ĥx4 surround and hearth, inset into the wood Here's your 2x2 in a blue/gray, with a gray tile hearth. I think this would have looked better w/your White Zellige tile rather than this blue/gray 4x4 iron gray zellige, herringbone black inner, marble hearth, natural oak mantle, board and batten wall/benches. Here's another weathered white and they used it for the hearth too. above the mantle I'd hang a killer piece of art. weathered white surround, white oak single mantle, black hearth (I'd use a large format basalt tile insert for this) I like the little bench too. Heres a 4x4 zellige w/a natural white oak. Oh, and here's a link to the zellige ītw, we're using an electric log set (because electricity is clean energy where we are), so don't have to worry about combustible materials, clearances, etc Looks to me like the fireplace kind of threw up on the floor. And, except in the case of very old fireplaces, I don't like how it looks when the hearth is the same material as the firebox. In pictures on the internet, I mostly see that the hearth is the same material as the surround, but I'm worried that white zellige tiles on a flush hearth will be too bright and blingy. I always thought the hearth would be a slab of honed Carrara like in an old house (I'm an old house gal), but now I think that might be too many materials. The firebox will be a dark gray Fireclay 2"圆" brick tile (color = Rocky Mountains). The mantel will be painted wood, rather traditional-looking. I've chosen 2"x2" white zellige tiles for our new (smal!) fireplace surround.
