Beer Bottle Countertops

[gregs765]

I just had to share this, based on some research I've been doing for kitchen remodeling--a recycled glass countertop made from beer bottles. This style is called "Alehouse Amber" and would be perfect for someone building a bar at home... doubt the wife will let me put it in the kitchen!

Yep, we (architects) just got a sample of that stuff in my office a couple days ago. Looks pretty sweet. I don't see why your wife wouldn't want it in the kitchen, though...it looks pretty nice, and it's not as if it's like a frat-house "bottle cap bar".

that is a bad ass looking product.

Those green bottles will skunk your countertop.

Oh, just mostly because I'd be too geekily excited about it, probably.

Yeah but it prolly helps with LEED recycled content material.

(Sorry, you prolly need to be in the biz to get that one.)

Wow expensive. This would be pretty cool to do with those garage floor expoxies though.

i'll make my own from broken bottles and concrete and that'll be my LEED recycle content

There's an architect in Milwaukee that refurbished the old Blatz brewery and made doors out of brown beer bottles.

That was pretty cool but I can't seem to get the link to work.

Cool product, but I'm with erik on this one. At that price I'll make up some molds and do it myself.
