Glass Tiles are hot!
Glass tiles have been around since the heyday of ancient Rome but I’m guessing they’ve never been as hot as they are today. We all like sparkly things and glass tile is the ultimate in kitchen bling. Check out this photo gallery for a lot of ideas. Using glass tiles as a backsplash is a great way to create depth, a reflective wall in an otherwise dim area and add a shot of color. Combined with LED undercabinet lighting, the tiles create a great look, especially at night.
Other uses include counters (they are quite durable) especially in non-food prep areas like seating areas (we’re not crazy about tile in food prep areas because the grout can be hard to keep clean) and accent areas like the faces of islands.
Glass tiles require specialized installation because of their transparency- you don’t want to see some ugly adhesive under your beautiful tile. Most professional tile installers can handle it. There is detailed info on installation here.
