Oceanside – Handcrafted Mosaic Glass Tile
by Lars on Aug.05, 2009, under Tile
At this point as much as I like Oceanside, I would be tempted to say who cares if up to 86% of their product’s content is upcycled materials, and the fact that they consume 2 million pounds of recycled curbside glass a year in their manufacturing process irrelevant. But the fact is they do, so I can feel much much better about my infatuation. Or maybe, it’s just me being reminiscent of all those raging good times in Huntington! ! !
Located just South of Camp Pendleton, somewhere between surfing mecca San Clemente and La Jolla. Home of the legendary, Carlsbad Raceway, (RIP), you’ll find Oceanside Glass Tile.
With a current offering of eight beautifully diversified collections, filled with a plentiful slew of sizes, trims, borders and liners, dozens of shimmering iridescent, non-iridescent and matte colours. Stunning blends, patterns and gradients, all designed to integrate together; you quickly realize why it is not too hard to loose track of time, when you get to play with this stuff.
Oceanside Glass Tile continues to lead the way in their field implementing interactive ways to enhance the designer and homeowner experience; with utilities like their custom Blend Tool and Gradient Tool. Very hip! Synthesizing time honored tradition and craftsmanship with up to date technology, Oceanside persists to shower the marketplace with an almost never-ending variety of attractive mosaics.
