Information on Glass Tiles

There is nothing quite like a Glass Tile finish to add elegance and style to any home. Glass tiles come in a wide variety of colours and styles and will add an elegant finish to both bathrooms and kitchens.  Glass tiles will catch the light and reflect it back, making any room seem larger and full of grace.  Glass tiles have been used for centuries and over the last couple of years have become increasingly popular with many home owners.  You do have to be careful when installing glass tiles but they are very easy to maintain and clean.

These types of tiles can be used over many areas in the home and a typically good and popular place to install glass tiles is the shower area. The shower area is a place where cleaning is frequent and the tiles can be wiped down and cleaned with ease.  Tiles of different sizes can be put on the floor, ceilings and sides of the shower to create an impressive appearance.

Recycled Glass Tiles and Mosaics similarly work well on Kitchen Backsplashes. Some people prefer to leave the installation of glass tiles to a professional but installing them yourself is not impossible. Like all tile jobs, make sure you have the correct tools in which to carry out the job.  Installing glass tiles requires slightly different materials to other jobs.

Glass Tile Mosaics are hugely popular and there is always a style to suit and blend in to any surround. Glass Mosaics can be paired with ceramic or stone to incorporate a modern or traditional feel. Colour backed glass mosaics are amongst the most popular and contemporary and are relatively cheap.  A blend of colours can be used on Backsplash or shower walls to create an impressive feel. There is also the option for Frosted Glass mosaics which will create a calmer feel to bathrooms and the combination of glossy and frosted will add depth and a unique design.

Recycled glass is now popular and is created from 15-100% recycled glass.  The amount of glass added, adds to the variations of colour.  Recycled glass works well whether you are looking for a modern feel or a more traditional one. Recycled glass is none absorptive, meaning that it will not hold on to odours and stains, making them a hugely practical tile. There is a wide variety of colour choices and the tiles are excellent at reflecting the light, making your design limitless.
