When designing any type of outdoor living space for your home or business it’s necessary to take into account the weather conditions to which it will be exposed. Whether building under the bright and sunny Mediterranean skies or the predictably unpredictable New England clouds, building materials chosen must be able to withstand the added stress of morning showers or autumn windstorms.
Glass tiles are a great choice for patio floors and outdoor accent pieces. Durable and waterproof, tiles won’t warp when exposed to extreme moisture or break with rapid changes in temperature. Glass tile is suitable for installation in climates that reach up to 120 degrees or regions of regular heavy rainfall. Frost-proof, glass tiles also meet the requirements for outdoor installations in areas where temperatures dip below freezing. Glass tiles are both resistant to stains and easy to clean and won’t be damaged by muddy boot prints or a hamburger flipped off the grill. Since glass tiles are evenly colored throughout, nicks or chips won’t easily distort the surface appearance of tiles.
Glass tile mosaics accents are also a great addition to patios. Tiling a wrought iron table or antique chair creates an eclectic look that complements artistic garden areas. Use tiles to create a border around railing or banisters to incorporate color and flair. These projects are especially good for beginners interested in learning the how-to’s of basic tiling.
