When we decided to remodel our bathroom, we thought it was important to choose materials that had some sustainable qualities and recycled content. We also thought it important that a bathroom floor be durable, slip resistant, long-lived, and resilient. At a local store that sells various "green" products, I found just the flooring I was looking for, and it came with LEED certification as well. The flooring I chose is the Reztec brand from Expanko. A blend of post-consumer tire waste and manufactured rubber, Reztec contains recycled content that varies with the color choice, of which there are many, from muted and earthy hazelnut to fiery tangerine. Our bathroom's color palette is mostly red and black (p. 78), so we chose tiles that have red chips in a black field.
