Glass tile offers an even broader range of texture than ceramic tile because glass tile is produced under high heat conditions and may be mixed in many different ways with tint other materials. To illustrate, glass tile is available in clear, frosted, translucent, metallic, iridescent, textured and stained-glass.
The trends in glass tile provide opportunities to purchase recycled glass tiles in eye-catching colors that are environmentally friendly. One company’s product line includes tiles in twenty-nine eye-catching colors, six opaque, nine transparent, eleven iridescent, and three matte. Glass tile is available in a variety of sizes, shapes, colors and textures.
Another benefit of utilizing glass tile is that it is made available in a pre-spaced format on a mesh backing, which is left intact when the tile is applied to the surface being covered. Another way that it is made available in a pre-spaced form is with a brown paper front, which is pealed off when the tile is set and dry.
Because of its range of vibrant colors, and its intrinsic reflective nature, glass tiles provide a radiance that no other tile product can offer. In fact, glass tiles are enjoying a tremendous surge in popularity over ceramic and porcelain tiles for these very reasons.
