Advantages of Mosaic Glass Tile

 

Design: Probably the biggest benefit of using mosaic glass in a flooring application is the beauty that can be achieved with a proper installation. You have a choice between solid and multicolored tiles, which can be arranged in simple or intricate patterns.

Some stores will also sell repeating patterns which can be used to create complex pictures of flowers or animals.

 

Clean: Glass tiles are resistant to stains, mold, and mildew. They tend to show dirt very easily so you will always know when its time to clean. They are resistant to chemical damage and they aren’t porous, so you don’t have to worry about grime sinking into the tile. They are also very easy to clean, and can be wiped down with a damp cloth or mopped up with warm water. In the case of soap scum buildup in a bathroom a mild vinegar solution can be used.

 

Green: It takes roughly half the energy to produce a glass tile that it does to make a ceramic tile of similar size.

You also have the option of using recycled glass tiles, which are made from reclaimed glass refuse.

 

Luminous: All but the darkest glass tiles will tend to reflect light, rather than absorb it. This can make the mosaic pieces seem to glow with a luminous radiance that you can’t find in any other flooring material.

 

Durability: As long as your glass tiles have passed the stringent ASTM standards required to be used as flooring material, they should be durable and resistant to cracking under anything save sharp direct force applied with a hard object such as a hammer.
