Appearance of Cracked Glass in GEOS Recycled Glass Surfaces GEOS Recycled Glass Surfaces are hard surfaces comprised of high performance resins, recycled glass, and quartz.

Appearance of Cracked Glass in GEOS Recycled Glass Surfaces

GEOS Recycled Glass Surfaces are hard surfaces comprised of high performance resins,

recycled glass, and quartz.

The process used to create GEOS Recycled Glass Surfaces includes a vibro-compaction process that

aggressively vibrates and compacts the ingredients to give them a very tight, durable surface. During

this process internal �ssures can appear in the larger pieces of glass. These are super�cial and do not

a�ect the performance of the surface.

Di�erent from most recycled glass surfaces on the market, GEOS Recycled Glass Surfaces use high

performance polymer resins NOT CEMENT. Unlike cement-based surfaces that rely on the tension in

the cement to hold the glass, the resins in GEOS Recycled Glass Surfaces act as a binder and cure tightly

around the glass to secure it.

Due to the recycled glass content in GEOS Recycled Surfaces, there may be minor variations in the

surface of the glass that can be felt with a bare hand. These are part of the aesthetic and are not a defect

unless they are deeper than 1/16” .
