They can be sassy, they can be whimsical, they can be sophisticated\u2026 they\u2019re glass tiles and they\u2019re one of the hottest ways to spruce up any kitchen or bathroom project! From their inclusion on backsplashes to fireplaces, glass tiles have taken center stage among contractors and homeowners who want affordable glitz and glam for their innovative jobs.<\/p>\n

You might be wondering how to use glass tiles, especially given the fact that glass is known for being\u2026 well\u2026 breakable. The good news is that glass tiles, unlike glass vases or light bulbs, are constructed to be shatter-resistant. They\u2019re durable and long-lasting; that\u2019s one of the reasons they\u2019re so appealing from a practical standpoint. Make no mistake about it, though: From an aesthetic perspective, they are downright amazing!<\/p>\n

Glass Tiles as Backsplashes<\/h2>\n

Backsplashes have definitely made a \u201csplash\u201d, whether they are located in the kitchen, bathroom or pool area. Glass tiles do not absorb water, making them practical for areas with high humidity. They\u2019re also easy-to-clean because their surfaces are not highly porous. With a few wipes, they retain their gloss and\/or shine.<\/p>\n

Some of our favorites for backsplashes in residential and commercial properties include the\u00a0Soh Glass Stone Stack\u00a0tiles<\/a>, which is already pre-organized and ready to install. It comes in tons of variations, so it can fit any room\u2019s theme. Another favorite are the glass tiles from\u00a0Watercolors Glass<\/a>. Their thickness (8 mm) make them perfect for industrial locales where they\u2019re likely to be used frequently.<\/p>\n

Glass as Countertops<\/h2>\n

Countertop projects utilizing glass often use it to create a clean, contemporary look. Used in a\u00a0kitchen environment, it\u00a0can add a pop of color, whether in a home or a restaurant. Curava’s Recycled Glass\u00a0slabs are one of the most eco-friendly surfaces available, comprised of 60% recycled glass. Post-consumer or\u00a0postindustrial\u00a0recycled glass, that was previously used for bottles, windows and windshields, is collected from landfills and other sources.\u00a0\u00a0It is then ground into small chips and combined with 31% quartz and 9% resin to make the slabs.<\/p>\n

As a glass product, it is stain and heat resistant.\u00a0 Plus it is non-porous and therefore very sanitary.\u00a0Curava slabs\u00a0come standard with a 15-year warranty.<\/p>\n

Glass Tiles on the Floor<\/h2>\n

Though it might sound incredible, glass tiles can be used on some floor areas. Generally speaking, they are more often chosen for bathrooms or pool areas. In some situations, glass tile mosaics or stacks that include stone, are a good option.\u00a0The variety of textures\u00a0provides traction, which is helpful in reducing the possibility of slipping.<\/p>\n

Creativity is Alive!<\/h2>\n

Perhaps the best aspect of glass tiles is that they are extremely versatile! If you haven\u2019t used them before, why not investigate whether or not they will work for your next renovation? You might just find that all that glitters isn’t gold\u2026 its glass!<\/p>\n
