Glass Tile
Glass tile reflects light and color like nothing else, making small spaces feel brighter and deeper. It does not absorb water or stains, so it is a favorite for backsplashes, shower walls, accent stripes and pool waterlines. Most glass tile comes as mosaic sheets or small subway formats.
Info & Tips
-
White thinset
Use a white thinset made for glass so the color stays true.
-
Trowel lines
Ridges show through clear glass: they must be flattened fully.
-
Floors
Most glass tile is wall only. Check the floor rating.
-
Cutting
Glass chips easily: cut with a wet saw and glass blade.
-
Grout
Fine unsanded grout protects the glossy face from scratches.
