Brilliant Environmental Building Products

I love this store! I’ve been in many times to make selections for my new house. They have always been patient with my multiple visits. I finally decided to buy their receycled «pop bottle» carpet. They ordered and intalled it for me in about two weeks. Great turn around!

Excellent people to work with. We installed Neolith and Ecocrush in our kitchen remodel. We also used American Clay on the walls using Amy Warren, who they recommended. I am beyond pleased with everything. The Neolith and Ecocrush are amazing products and I’m in love!
They also offer excellent prices and are friendly to work with. Check out my photos on Houzz at

Recently we bought a house in Redmond through our realtor but we never saw the house until after the closing since I was in the navy. During my daughter’s spring break we made a trip from California and took a look. Things we were going to do down the road layer on when the kids got older we decided to do immediately like the carpet since one of the rooms had a huge pet stain. We decided carpet through most of the house and some bamboo flooring in much of the first floor. We found Brilliant online and talked to Jorden an decided on a wool carpeting. As for the bamboo flooring we found 2 we liked. One was more expensive and we decided to go for the cheaper one. While doing research Jorden found the warrantee on the cheaper one was not very good so he offered us the more expensive one for the same price. Then we had to leave for California until my time in the navy was up. While we were gone the team from Brilliant installed the wool carpet and ordered the bamboo so our handyman could install that. When we returned in June everything was installed and the place looked great. No pet odors and I was afraid to walk barefooted.

It makes us want to build another house, to go into Brilliant. Make that it makes ONE of us want to build another house. After two custom home build endeavors in Bend in the last twelve years, hubby is done. «Me or another building project» he has said. I dunno… some days it’s a hard choice.
These new green products are a huge leap ahead of where they were even eight years ago, when we had our current home built. And the paucity of options then and the characteristic of many of them as «spare» is why we didn’t use more green products at the time. How times have changed because now these products seem so much more, well, brilliant for options across the style spectrum.
Located in downtown Bend on Greenwood just down the block from the Bond Street Grill (formerly Decoy Grill) this was a stop in location as we were slip sliding down Bend’s sidewalks on a snowy day. And what a fun stop it turned out to be!
Friendly and helpful woman at the desk inside who was able to answer our questions and who demonstrated a real passion for not only the products in the showroom but the principles of green building.
We looked around at the cool, there is no other word for it, counter top materials made of glass and concrete and other composites, color samples of non toxic paint, walls and walls of samples of lovely wool carpet, a Marmoleum display for floors and Green Mountain wood products display for wonderful butcher block counter tops in a variety of hardwoods. Just to name a few of the many items in this little showroom in the old downtown building.
As probably high praise for the products, we also met a builder who was making selections for updates on his own home, after being introduced to some of the green counter top products through working on a client’s projects and liking them so much.
We still think there is a fair amount of «whoop-​de-​doo» in the green building movement, but it also makes sense to consider beautiful and durable products that have the added benefit of being environmentally friendly. If we are faced with a remodel or new construction again, we’d use several of them and Brilliant would be on our «go to» list along with the top notch builder we worked with on the last home build project.
Hubby or another build project. Those are my choices? Give me a moment while I decide… :-) In the meantime, I’ll look around Brilliant, given four stars for the choices displayed there and the helpful woman in the shop. Shy of five stars simply because we’ve been only «looky loos» and not customers. Yet.
