Resilica

Resilica is a truly bespoke worktop and surface material which is hand made in the UK from 100% recycled glass waste. Mixed with a specially developed solvent-free resin system then cast into solid panels, the surface is ground away and polished to reveal fragments of embedded glass which reflect light and give sparkle and depth to the surface. The bespoke nature of this contemporary material enables us to produce Resilica in almost any colour combination and to your exact design specifications. These eco-friendly glass worktops are ideally suited for hygenic and high-wear areas such as kitchen worktops, bathroom vanities, reception desks, bars, furniture and flooring. The idea to produce a recycled glass surface was first conceived in 1997 and became the focus of an in depth research collaboration looking at uses for waste glass. Resilica founder Gary Nicholson and Glass Professor Jim Roddis, worked with a University Research Department, the Arts & Humanities Research Board, a specialist resin manufacturer and the Dti. After four and a half years of development and rigourous external testing Resilica* was the outcome. Resilica is produced to the highest standards and has been continuously perfected over the last twelve years. As with all good ideas, Resilica has it?s imitators but with a proven track record and superior quality it remains the UK?s original and leading recycled glass surface.
