The tiles come in both square and rectangular cuts, although a larger stock of the square is maintained. Aluminum squares run from about $35/sf, and brass $70/sf. Whether your tastes are more classic or veer nearer to the edgy- these tiles can give you the look you want. And recycling, by design, is a savvy way to be eco-friendly.
