Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can colored glass sand be used for outdoor Terrazzo flooring?                                    

Yes, it is highly recommended for outdoors due to its exceptional wear resistance (Mohs 5-7) and its ability to resist acids, alkalis, and weather-related stains.

Q: Is this glass sand safe for indoor air quality?                                    

Absolutely. Our products are silicone-free and processed to have an extremely low dust generation rate, posing no risk to the lungs during or after installation.

Q: How does it compare to natural marble in terms of stains?                                    

Our glass sand is superior in stain resistance, with a water penetration rate of less than 0.8%, making it far more resistant to oils and liquids than traditional marble.

Q: What sizes are available for architectural decoration?                                    

We offer a wide spectrum of sizes ranging from fine 1-3mm for smooth finishes up to large 5-8cm aggregates for bold decorative features.

Q: Can it be used as a filler in other industrial materials?                                    

Yes, thanks to its excellent filling properties and stability, it is widely used as a filler for plastics, rubber, and ceramics.

Q: Is the product environmentally sustainable?                                    

Yes, our glass sand is crafted from recycled glass, contributing to a circular economy by repurposing waste into high-value architectural materials.
