What are the positive environmental impacts
of your product (what makes it “green”)?
Acappella Design specializes in the design,
creation and installation of custom mosaics. I work in Pique
Assiette which is the art of recycling broken glass, pottery,
tile and found objects to create unique, eco-friendly and functional
art. I also use new tiles made from recycled material and tiles
rescued from the waste stream. All mosaics are custom-designed
for your project and made by hand at Acappella Studio in Renton,
Washington.
a) Art from waste reduces what goes into landfills.
b) Tile, glass, stone and pottery are all made from natural
materials, do not emit hazardous materials after installation
and are not considered hazardous waste should disposal be
necessary.
c) Acappella Design Mosaics may be installed with low VOC,
low toxic, water-based, solvent-free, sealers, grouts, mortars,
caulks and adhesives.
d) Acappella Design Mosaics are beautiful, functional and
durable giving years of service and beauty and providing permanent
art in unconventional places.
e) Acappella Design Mosaics are fabricated locally using materials
obtained locally, reducing material transport costs and supporting
the local economy.
What are the financial benefits of using your product (does
it save the homeowner money when compared to a similar, more
traditionally manufactured product?)
While Acappella Design Mosaics may cost
more per square foot than off-the shelf, mass-produced mosaics,
they are art that is custom-designed for your project. Their
beauty and uniqueness will never go out of style.
