Recycled Glass Tile

When it comes to residential tiling projects, glass tile is quickly replacing ceramic tile as the preferred surface. Although recycled glass tile may be more expensive than other options, the handmade aesthetic it imparts makes it more than worthwhile.

Distinct Look of Recycled Glass Mosaic Tiles

Various processes result in recycled glass mosaic tiles with multiple colors and shapes. Tiles can be melted, cast, and cooled,  some are sliced and then cold-cooled. Cold production entails merely cutting glass without the use of heat. Alternatively, a combination of sand and chemicals is melted in a tank before being poured into cooling trays for cast glass.

The durability of Recycled Glass Backsplash

Although it may not be immediately apparent, recycled glass tile flooring can rival ceramic tile in strength and longevity. Recycled glass backsplash is inherently more durable than ceramic tile because it maintains specific qualities. Due to its lack of porosity, recycled glass floor tile will not become damp. Mould and mildew inevitably result from water seepage, making it a mortal adversary of any tile job. Once correctly placed, recycled sea glass tiles poses no such concern.
