We make it our business to do good. From tile donations to community funds to paid volunteer days, we believe our business has the power to change the world. We’ve had the privilege of donating our products to schools, community centers, and more to help create safe and beautiful spaces that help change lives.

 

fireclay-400x534A project that is especially close to our hearts is Detroit Prep. Established in 2016, Detroit Prep’s mission is to, “provide a world-class, equitable education that will give all students a foundation of academic excellence and character development while fostering a love of learning and passion for exploring and fulfilling their extraordinary potential as learners, leaders, and world-changers.” Which is a mission we can definitely get behind.

 

With help from our Non-Slip Tiles, Detroit Prep students can now safely enjoy their brand new building as they set out to change the world. When Detroit Prep’s brand new building safely opened its doors this fall, students and staff were greeted with colorful tiles that work as hard as they do. We had the tremendous honor of helping Detroit Prep turn a 100-year-old building into a safe and beautiful place to learn through our Fireclay Gives initiative.
