Glass Tile for Every Surface

In recent years, glass tiles have risen in popularity in home and business interior design. Once looked on as gorgeous, but very expensive, glass tiles have become the ‘in’ surface option of design-minded homeowners and interior designers. This recent rise in popularity is due in large part to an increasing awareness of the overwhelming benefits of using glass tiles on every surface, Floors, Ceilings, Walls, Backsplashes, and Fireplace Hearths.

“So what’s so special about glass tiles,” you ask? Many designers laud their versatility, calling glass tiles a ‘chameleon of materials’. Glass tiles fit seamlessly with stone, metal, concrete, wood, and ceramic, allowing them to be used as a simple surface covering, a colorful accent, or an artistic focal point. This adaptability is attributable to the fact that glass can be made in such a wide variety of colors, shapes, and finishes. Playing with these qualities provides endless design possibilities, an attractive notion for creative contractors and picky homeowners alike.

Glass mosaic tiles stand out in the crowded market of remodeling materials because of their ability to manipulate light. When glass tiles, translucent by definition, are exposed to light, they amplify, reflect and diffuse it. The light flows through the glass, illuminating the tiles, and then cascades onto nearby surfaces. While other types of tiles soak up sunlight, glass tiles multiply it! Incorporating glass tiles into your renovation will enliven your home or business by drawing light into dim rooms and making bright rooms sparkle.

Glass tiles are a practical choice for every room. Impervious to water, they won’t absorb food, oil, or liquids. As a result, glass tiles don’t stain and are exceptionally easy to clean. Glass tiles—chic and elegant—are built to stay looking new for years after they’re installed.

Although still most commonly used in kitchens and bathrooms and pools, glass tiles are a design option for nearly every space in and around your home or business. How you choose to incorporate tiles into each room depends largely on how the room will be used as well as the aesthetic goals of the designer.
