Glass Mosaic Tile
Glass mosaic tile has greatly risen in popularity over the past decade, and are now increasingly found on walls, countertops, ceilings, and floors in well-decorated homes and commercial establishments around the world. This rise in popularity is due largely to the extreme versatility of glass tile, which is a nearly all-purpose design material, and the significant reduction in costs associated with their aquisition.
Water and stain-resistant, durable glass tiles are an ideal surface option for high traffic public spaces, especially those frequently exposed to moisture or extreme temperature fluctuation such as kitchens (backsplashes and walls), bathrooms (shower surrounds, ceilings and floors), pools, jacuzzi spas, patios, basements, and entryways.
Translucent glass tiles shine and glow when exposed to light, both reflecting and amplifying it, creating warmth and vibrance wherever they are installed. What’s more, glass mosaic tiles can be blended into a nearly endless combination of colors, finishes, and iridescence to create breathtakingly beautiful and captivating designs. No matter what your design need, glass mosaic tile can be made to blend seamlessly into the background or to create an eye-catching focal point.
In fact, there are so many options when using glass tiles that, picking the right ones might just be your most difficult task. For this we’ve created a few handy hints. Keep these in mind as you explore our Tile Catalog and Blend Catalog and create your own blends using our brand-new Custom Blend Tile Designer.
Consider Use!
Wall art and mosaic backsplashes give you the opportunity to bring vibrance and personality to your project. Alternatively, using tiles simply as a surface or covering reflects a more understated design choice.
Color matters!
Bright tiles will make a room glow while darker colors create an intimate atmosphere. When tiling a small room, think light colors; they’ll make the most of your space. In a similar way, large open rooms benefit from dark, bold colors.
Use color and texture to create a theme in a room. Frosted tiles in Sea Foam and Turquoise will evoke nautical images of beaches and sea glass. This makes them an excellent choice for a spa-bathroom. Dark metallic mosaic tile blends complement commercial-style kitchen appliances (a current design trend) and give rooms a sharp modern feel.
Create Consistency!
To add color and creativity to a room we suggest the ‘one and one’ method. Chose one color family and then pick tiles with different finishes. Alternatively, use a variety of colors with a uniform texture.
Of course, these are only basic starter suggestions. Use your own design sense and imagination and there will be no limit to what you can do with our incredible tile.
