retired tires

Yemm & Hart offers three different surface materials made from discarded tires, detergent bottles, and PVC plastic scraps. Choose Tire Veneer tiles for a nontoxic floor covering in 18- or 36-inch squares of bright flecks against gray or black backgrounds. Or select Flexisurf, PVC discards turned into matte, grid, and weave textured sheets or tiles. The material’s seams may be welded for high-traffic areas. And Origins resuscitates detergent bottles into colorfully blended panels for use as partitions or countertops. Yemm & Hart, 573.783.5434; www.yemmhart.com.
