Ruby Red with patina
Description
Dorothy's slippers said it all. And just as there's no place like home, there's no slab like Ruby Red, a glittering montage of red glass fragments certain to inspire any space. Made from flawed goblets that never saw a table, now they can become one.

Glass source story
Glass manufacturers generate substantial waste; products often do not meet safety or quality control standards, and there is sometimes breakage in handling. Some of our glass comes from a manufacturer of designer dinnerware, serving dishes, and stemware. Waste occurs due to defects in the shape, color or improper fusing of the stems to the cups. The glass in Ruby Red is factory waste of red glass goblets. We transform their "waste" into something exquisite: Ruby Red.
* Vetrazzo is comprised of 85% Recycled Glass and 15% modified Portland White Cement. Variation in the glass source of a Vetrazzo slab is the result of the recycling process made possible by the nature of comingled recycling. As a result the color, pattern, size, shape and shade are inherent and unique characteristics to be expected in a slab of Vetrazzo. This does not affect the product performance in any manner. Random bits of glass that differ from the predominant color of the glass in the slab can be expected. From time to time our glass sources will change, and while the source may remain, 'beverage bottles', or 'demolition glass', the beverage brand, or the old building the glass came from can change, and result in a slab that differs slightly from what is presented on our website and in samples in the marketplace. Samples are small select cuts from a slab; they do not exhibit all the characteristics of a color and therefore are not fully representative of what will be installed. Product will not be replaced due to these variations so please either visit one of our distributors where you can choose your individual slabs or check with your certified fabricator before he begins fabrication to ensure you love what he will be working with.
Vetrazzo is durable and more resistant to surface damage than other stone. However, all stone can be damaged by force and no stone is chip-proof. Objects hitting edges particularly at sinks or dishwashers may cause chips. Surface markings are more visible on monotone colors than multi-colored surfaces. For more with living with Vetrazzo please take a look at our Care & Maintenance Guide.
