All BonTon tile is custom made to order. They use “old world” techniques to produce an extremely high quality ceramic tile.
The beauty of their glazes is unmistakable. “Bold, rich and unique” have all been used to describe the look and feel of their tile. They have exclusive hand mixed glazes that you will find nowhere else in the world. Their tile is completely made by hand in their Minneapolis studios.
Environmental Statement
BonTon Handmade tile is environmentally conscious in all aspects of their tile making practices. From start to finish they strive to respect our natural environment and work hard to reduce, recycle and reuse.
– They use locally made clay that is 100% certified non-toxic
– Unused clay scraps and seconds are saved and recycled into future projects.
– Packaging materials are recycled. Including but not exclusive to; cardboard boxes, plastic bags, twist ties, styro peanuts, craft paper, styro-foam and cardboard
– They fire in modern fully automatic kilns that efficiently use electricity to produce our tile.
– BonTon seconds and defective tile are NOT thrown in the trash. Instead, they sell this excess at dramatically reduced prices to local mosaic artists and home improvement weekend warriors.
– All BonTon tiles are made in the USA creating domestic jobs and eliminating wasteful energy consumption associated with oversees shipping.
– BonTon design and manufacturing facilities are centrally located. The commute is measured in minutes and that saves on fuel consumption.
– BonTon facilities have been furnished with re-claimed and second hand work spaces, shelving, desks, tables and chairs. Many of these items were headed to landfills before we found them.
