Unique Bamboo Tiles (and I do mean “unique”)

Lindsay ~ 30 January 2008

I’m not quite sure what I expected when I clicked on the “Kura bamboo tiles” link over at the Stone & Pewter Accents site, but this is much cooler than anything I anticipated.

These tiles are actually made from thin bamboo slices suspended in a resin base. The result really does create something unique and unusual.

The tiles have hard substrate backings, which is supposed to make them simple to install (or at least no more difficult than other tiles). I didn’t see the potential uses listed on the site, but these could make striking accent walls or–if they’re waterproof–a very unique shower surround.
