Frit
If you didn't already know this, Frit is the trade term used to describe recycled glass once it has been ground down into a fine sand. Generally 'Frit' is seen as a midway stage in a longer manufacturing process and is normally supplied as a raw material for making tiles or even recycled glass bottles. However, Frit has an aesthetic all of its own and could be used in a variety of ways which don't involve melting or pressing.


Panels
These panels (or 'bricks') are manufactured using 100% recycled glass. They are perfectly clear which is unusual for a recycled glass as it usually takes on a greenish tint following the second processing. The panels come in a range of surface textures and patterns, each of which manipulate the light in different ways.
Tiles
A wide range of tiles in a range of colours and sizes, made from 100% recycled glass cullet. The glass recyclate is ground to a fine Frit and then exposed to a combination of heat and pressure to create these opaque, textured pieces.
