Environmentally Friendly Tiles
Heritage Tiles is committed to providing environmentally friendly tiles, and supplies a range of European Eco-labeled tiles that meet such requirements.We are also listed on the New Zealand Greenbuild website which endorses Environmental building options in New Zealand.
Tiles are a very environmentally friendly option and can be beneficial in residential and commercial areas for a number of reasons :
- Hard wearing requireing less maintenance
- Durable and more likely to be replaced due to changes in fashion rather than in failure in the system itself
- tiles can be utilised in a thermal mass for the passive heating and cooling of a building
- Almost always outlast (sometimes several generations) of alternative floor coverings
