Glass Tile Installation Tips and Tricks

 

Here’s a list of tips that we’ve collected from our years of experience installing glass tiles. Please contact Susan to share any of your own tips!

 

 
  • Use safety gear! Goggles, kneepads, rubber gloves.
 
  • If mixing your own thinset, allow it to sit for 5 minutes once it has been mixed to it’s optimal consistency.
 
  • If using paper-backed tiles, remove the paper the same day that tiles are set. By doing this you can make sure the tiles are set evenly and fix any crooked ones before they have permanently affixed themselves in the thinset.
 
  • White thinset should be used when setting glass tiles, as it will have the least affect on the color and transparency of the tiles.
    •
 
  • When your installation has a focal point, such as a backsplash, start in the center and work your way out.
