With an enormous selection of colors, shapes, and textures, your ability to personalize indoor or outdoor spaces is only limited by your imagination.

Benefits of Glass Mosaic Tile

Glass tile is more than just aesthetically pleasing. Performance-wise, it offers an impervious surface that inhibits mold, mildew, and bacteria.

Glass mosaic tiles shine with a luminous style, making rooms appear brighter and more spacious. Coupled with strategically placed lighting, they produce a dramatic lighting effect.

Due to their smooth, non-porous surface, maintaining glass tiles is easy. They don't stain, and any dirty or greasy spots can be quickly wiped away with a wet cloth. The glass is strong, resistant to most chemicals, and highly durable. It's also impervious to moisture and unaffected by UV rays, so it won't stain from spills or fade from detergent or sunlight exposure.

• Brilliance & Shine
• Impervious to Liquids
• Heat & Frost Resistant

Additionally, glass mosaic tiles are better for the environment compared to other types of mosaic tiles. You can even find tiles made from recycled glass, repurposing discarded and broken glass into various tile designs.

Even more benefits: As demand and manufacturing improvements have surged, style options have increased, and prices have decreased.

Mosaic Glass Tile Applications

Mosaic tiles can transform a plain surface into an artistic masterpiece bursting with boldness and style. Whether your kitchen or bathroom needs a decor boost, mosaic tiles are exactly what you need.

Glass tile can be used almost anywhere, indoors or outdoors. Common applications include:

• Kitchen or bathroom backsplashes
• Showers
• Countertops and walls
• Borders and niches

Glass tile can be arranged in interesting patterns such as herringbone, hexagon, and fish scale styles.

• Herringbone Tile
• Hexagon Tile
• Fish Scale Tile

In recent years, glass has become a favorite pool tile for new constructions or renovations. Glass mosaics have revolutionized pool design, with their smooth texture being gentle on feet and pleasant underwater. Consequently, glass tile pools have surged in popularity. Blue glass tiles are particularly trending, as they reflect light beautifully and help keep pool water looking fresh and blue.

For an enhanced design, consider using Starlike epoxy tile grout. It offers a vast range of colors and additives and is waterproof, making it suitable for pools, backsplashes, and showers.

Mosaic Tile Installation

Should you handle installation yourself or hire a professional? AquaBlu's glass tile products are face or mesh-mounted for easier installation. However, for projects involving complex cuts or wet areas, it may be best to hire a tile setter.

• Mesh Mounted
• Face Mounted

The three major parts of installing mosaic tiles are:

• Preparing the surface
• Laying the tiles
• Grouting the tiles

Cutting Mosaic Tile

Though glass tiles are attractive, they can be easily damaged during installation, especially when cutting. Experts recommend using four tools for cutting glass tile:

• Wet saw
• Manual scoring wheel
• Bar cutter
• Wheeled mosaic nippers

Measure the tile to be cut and use a washable marker to draw a cutting guideline. Align the tile with the guide on the wet saw, and carefully cut along the mark, applying steady, light pressure.

Home Values

Kitchens with upgraded backsplashes and countertops often prove to be better investments than new appliances.

The right tile adds character and practicality, which future homebuyers will find appealing. For instance, most backsplashes are only around 30 square feet, so even expensive tiles won't cost much. Updating an older or darker kitchen with a mosaic tile backsplash can reflect light and boost resale value.

The same applies to pool tiles. A pool enhanced with glass tiles not only increases your home's value but can also reduce the time and expenses involved in selling it.
