Discover beautiful glass tiles for every space

Where can glass tiles be installed?

Glass tile is incredibly versatile and works in both residential and commercial spaces. While it's most commonly used on walls, it can enhance many areas throughout your property.

Kitchen backsplashes remain one of the most popular applications, protecting walls while adding color and texture behind countertops.

Bathrooms are another favorite location. Glass tile creates beautiful shower walls, bathtub surrounds, vanity backsplashes, and decorative niches that give the room a bright, spa-like appearance.

Glass tile also works well on fireplace surrounds, laundry room walls, wet bars, accent walls, and entryways. Commercial properties often use glass tile in restaurants, retail stores, offices, hotels, and salons to create an upscale first impression.

Some glass tile products are designed for flooring, but many are intended only for wall installations. Our remodeling experts can help you select products that are appropriate for your project.

What should you consider when shopping for glass tiles?

Choosing the right glass tile starts with understanding your space and your design goals.

Tile size affects the overall look. Small mosaic tiles create intricate patterns and detailed designs, while larger tiles offer a sleek, contemporary appearance with fewer grout lines.

Color is equally important. Light shades help open up smaller rooms, while darker colors create depth and contrast. Glass tiles are available in glossy, frosted, textured, and translucent finishes, each reflecting light differently.

Grout color also influences the final appearance. Matching grout creates a seamless look, while contrasting grout highlights each individual tile and adds definition.

Finally, consider professional tile installation. Glass tile requires specialized cutting techniques, proper adhesives, and careful placement to achieve clean lines and long-lasting performance. Our certified installers have the experience to deliver beautiful results.

How do you clean and maintain glass tiles?

Glass tile is one of the easiest surfaces to maintain.

For everyday cleaning, wipe the tile with a microfiber cloth and warm water. When deeper cleaning is needed, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner to remove grease, fingerprints, soap residue, or cooking splashes.

Avoid steel wool, abrasive pads, or harsh chemicals that can scratch or dull the finish.

Grout lines should also receive occasional attention. Cleaning grout with a gentle brush and appropriate cleaner helps maintain a fresh appearance. If cement-based grout was used during installation, periodic sealing can help reduce staining.

With simple routine maintenance, glass tile will continue to look bright and beautiful for many years.
