Are you constantly looking for opportunities to reuse old materials in unique ways? You’re not alone. With the green initiative growing in popularity, people across the U.S. are doing whatever they can to conserve energy, save water, find new uses for household items, and reduce their carbon footprints. But what many people don’t know is that same forward thinking can be applied to home improvement. Instead of rebuilding your Ohio deck with regular wooden boards and contributing to the loss of trees, why not try something new? Silca System’s revolutionary Silca Grate™ is made out of 100% recycled materials. Not only does this eco-friendly subflooring provide the foundation for your beautiful new deck or patio, it does so at no cost to the environment! While this might be enough to satisfy some customers, you can take it one step further by using recycled pavers, like this Colorado deck which uses salvaged granite to complete a new, environmentally-friendly deck!
Eco-friendly Silca Grate provides a perfect level surface for your recycled pavers.
This creative outdoor project shows how Silca System can be used to give an ordinary deck a brand new look. After having received their Silca System product direct from the manufacturer in Alliance, Ohio, these Colorado customers began working on their new outdoor area. The eco-friendly subflooring was easy to fit together, creating a flat surface to better support the heavy recycled pavers. After laying down a landscaping blanket, it was time to construct the actual deck surface. These homeowners chose to use a variety of different stone slabs made out of salvaged granite that would normally be taken to a landfill. As you can see, these individual granite pieces came together to form a lovely surface unlike any other. But while these clients chose to use granite material for their now environmentally-friendly deck, there are other types of recycled pavers available for your own use.
Salvaged granite recycled pavers together with Silca System make a gorgeous environmentally friendly deck!
Many manufacturers are finding new ways of using recycled rubber in their products. Rubber pavers made from tires and plastic bottles are very versatile and offer a unique look to any deck. Plus, they are less slippery in wet conditions and offer a softer surface to cushion your steps. By choosing these pavers for your own deck construction, you are not only making your deck safer and more attractive, you are helping out the environment!
Silca System offers shipping of their eco-friendly subflooring across the continental U.S., as well as Canada. No matter where you live, this Ohio-based company can offer you the product you need to begin constructing your own environmentally-friendly deck. And as these Colorado customers have shown, there are endless possibilities when you combine the Silca Grate™ with recycled pavers, such as salvaged granite!
