Bamboo tiles... and love

Got my daily email from LEEDPro, and the lead (pun intended) post was about new Kura Bamboo tiles.

Enjoy.

Stone & Pewter Accents

Now I'm scheming and drooling and trying to figure out if these would work in my all-white, Abstrakt White modern kitchen.

They would certainly be the star! Clicking on the link, I didn't expect something so dramatic.

Re: Bamboo tiles... and love

Oh yes, they would work! But I'm thinking backsplash at least as much as floor tile....

Re: Bamboo tiles... and love

And imagine it with LED lighting behind it as a backsplash? Maybe one of the color changing solutions so you can alter the backlight color depending on the mood? Funky/cool!

Re: Bamboo tiles... and love

Thanks for posting the pictures -- I couldn't figure out how to do it (maybe it was all the drool on the keyboard).

We've got dark brown oak floors and all Abstrakt White cabinets, and I was going to do ss for the backsplash with something pale green or blue for one wall of backsplash, but holy cow, I need a sample of this.

Re: Bamboo tiles... and love

If you get a sample let us know if it's opaque or translucent? With Resin, it could be either way... I was thinking translucent, but Susan pointed out that the black and white versions both look opaque .

Re: Bamboo tiles... and love

I have to say I really like the Bali ones as well. Nice find, greenie!

Would you mind adding this link to the Sources Directory? I think it would be great if everyone could find it!
