Limix tiles are a lime-based alternative to traditional ceramic. Not only are these tiles free of toxics that could off-gas into the indoor air, they also actively absorb VOCs and carbon, improving indoor air quality. Additionally, they regulate humidity, and their high alkalinity makes them naturally antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal. Compared to baked ceramic tiles, Limix also consume 80% less energy during manufacturing. Limix is awaiting Cradle to Cradle re-certification. The tiles will be Cradle to Cradle Gold, with a C2C Material Health Certification at the Platinum level.
