Flex – Floor Tiles
The idea behind FLEX Flooring is to create a more ergonomic and sanitary solution to floor tiles without taking away from the ceramic aesthetic of current floor tiles. It is made up of a mixture between recycled brick and concrete from construction sites and a two-part silicone. The bricks are ground down to a fine powder which can be mixed with other brick or concrete colors to create a custom, yet natural, look for any home or business. The silicone bonds to the ceramic particles when mixed and is then cast into 12? x 12? x 1.4? tiles. The molds for each tile can either be flat or textured in order to achieve a natural ceramic look.
