With the same durability and simplicity of use as porcelain tiles, Mas is a floor and wall tile made from up to 98.5% recycled content.

A new offering from Parkside Architectural Tiles and Alusid®, at the very least, 95% of the material make-up of Mas comes from recycled matter - it's just dependent on the colour.

These would-be waste materials are aggregated from industry, and from various parts of the tile production process. And paired with a unique low-energy dry granulation process, Mas is a low carbon option and the first mass-produced floor and wall tile to be made from 98.5% pre-consumer recycled content.

In a comparative study of Mas’ third-party verified cradle to gate emissions against the Spanish ceramic tile industry, an EPD was compiled using data from 55% of ASCER members. Mas recorded 51% less embodied carbon, and 44% less water used. It has a total GWP of 6.09kg CO2e per m2 .

Mas is UK stocked in two size formats for floor and wall use, and in four colours. With 36+PTV, 35N+ breaking strength and less than 3% water absorption, it promises a highly functional solution for the needs of contemporary commercial interiors.

Mas floor and wall tiles features a modern checkerboard pattern in earthy tones, complemented by a rustic wooden stool and potted plant.
