Jute Tile Pink
from €14.95

About:

A waste material from the flooring industry is used to create this new surface material. The material is made of 50% jute fibre. Jute fibre is the only waste material in the production process of Forbo linoleum. By combining it with plaster, the fluff is transformed into strong tiles with distinct patterns. The original properties of the plaster are changed by this addition. Giving this waste material a second life and new durable purpose. By using this waste material, Forbo linoleum becomes a zero-waste product.

With our Jute Tile collection we provide an alternative to ceramics, a sustainable replacement for traditional tiling. This tile is part of a closed-loop and waste-based system.

Material information:

The tiles are coated with an eco-friendly material, this makes it water repellent but not totally waterproof. Jute and plaster are both naturally mold and mildew resistant, making it applicable for several interior spaces. Plaster is endlessly recyclable.

Product information:

  • Material: jute fibre & gypsum plaster

  • Sizes: 50 x 120 mm / 50 x 200 mm

  • Thickness: approx. 3mm

  • Application: wall cladding, counter or display surface

For custom-made sizes please send an email.

* After your order we start producing your materials, please get in touch for specific delivery times. The Jute Tiles are completed handcrafted in our atelier in The Netherlands.
