Glass Tile

Printer Friendly Version

Textures™, our new glass mosaic series, consists of eight colors of textured glass in 2” x 2” squares on 12” x 12” mesh. The variety of colors used within each piece of glass makes this series quite unique. Textures™’ color palette includes earth tones as well as other attractive colors that make it well suited to various installation styles. The 2” x 2” squares can be cut and used as accent pieces or can be used in full 12” x 12” sheets for a dramatic effect.

APPLICATIONS
Appropriate for interior walls and backsplashes and exterior walls and backsplashes in non-freezing temperatures. Not recommended for countertop or floor use. Always follow proper installation methods. Installing glass tile involves some basic procedures that differ from installing ceramic or stone tile. Following these procedures will prevent simple mistakes that could result in the failure of the installation.
*Make sure that glass tile is installed over the proper substrate. This is one of the most important factors in ensuring a good installation. When cutting glass, it is recommended to use a supreme diamond blade designed for chip free cutting of glass (wet only).

Approved substrate surfaces:
Fully cured concrete substrate
Properly installed cement backerboard

Do not install glass tile on:
Particleboard
Chipboard
Masonite
Press wood
Plywood
Asbestos boards

To avoid adversely affecting the color of glass tile, white thin set is required for all installations. Glass tile must have a minimum of 1/16” grout joint and should not be butt set. To ensure adequate coverage and full contact to the tile it is recommended to lightly back butter the tile. Back buttering is required for semi-transparent glass tile. Use a glass cleaner and a soft lint free cloth for cleaning glass tile. To remove soap scum or water deposits, use a minimally abrasive cleanser and soft bristle brush.
