Kirei Coco Tiles & LEED – Build Green

Environmental Benefits
Kirei Coco Tiles remove discarded coconut shells from the waste stream. The coconuts are harvested for their edible portions, then the shells are often burned as waste or sent to landfills.

Reduced Waste
Until now, these shells have been burned or thrown away adding to landfill waste or air pollution.

FSC-Certified Backer
Tile backer material is made using FSC-Certified wood from sustainably managed forests.

Resins and Adhesives
Only low- or zero VOC resins are used in the construction of Kirei Coco Tiles, helping to lessen harmful pollutants in our ambient atmosphere.

Kirei Coco Tiles and LEED
Kirei design elements can help your projects gain LEED credit for environmentally friendly construction.

Fabrication Guidelines
Kirei Coco Tiles are a unique handmade tile backed with 9mm FSC-Certified wood. Standard tile-setting guidelines should be followed, including proper conditioning and installation.

Conditioning:
Kirei Coco Tiles should be conditioned for a minimum of 72 hours before installation. This will allow tiles to adjust to the ambient local temperature and humidity level.

Installation:
Kirei Coco Tiles can be installed directly over framing members–studs or furring strips (check building codes in your area). All coco tiles may be put up with a combination of panel adhesive and nails.

Cutting:
Kirei Coco Tiles can be cut with standard wood or tile saws. We recommend at least 4000 rpm blade speed and a high-quality blade with fine teeth.- do not use water as this may cause swelling of the wood backer. Chipping along the cut edge may occur; the chips may be repaired with normal woodworking adhesive.
