How to Shop for Glass Tile

Shape
From traditional rectangles—including always-popular glass subway tile—and trendy hexagons to unique shapes (like pickets, chevrons and specialty mosaics), glass tile offers something for everyone.

Color
Sometimes the phrase “a rainbow of colors” can be an exaggeration, but not when it comes to glass tile. We have something to offer for every part of ROYGBIV, and then some. (The Stria collection alone comes in 53 beautiful colors.)

Finish
As a manmade material, glass comes in multiple finishes—even a tile in the same color, shape and size could be offered in gloss, matte, metallic, or a mosaic that combines several finishes.

Size
From our smallest glass tile (just 0.5x1 inches) to our largest (at 8x20 inches), you can decide exactly what proportions you want in your space.

Where to Use Glass Tile

Glass tiles are suitable for a wide variety of indoor and outdoor uses:

Bathrooms
Our customers often end up selecting glass tile for bathroom projects. In addition to creating a sleek, clean look, glass is well suited to a humid environment and is easy to clean. It’s common for customers to select glass tile for multiple spaces within a single bathroom; for example, installing a glass tile shower as well as coordinating wall tile. Whether you’re shopping for materials for a powder room or grand primary ensuite, you can get the style and function you seek with glass tile.

Kitchens
A glass tile backsplash is a smart addition to just about any kitchen. Glass holds up exceptionally well to heat and moisture, and as a non-porous material also resists staining (something any cook can appreciate!). If you’re updating your kitchen with resale value in mind, you’ll never go wrong with a glass subway tile backsplash, in particular. Subway tile is our best-selling shape across all product categories and offers the perfect blend of classic and on-trend style to bring your space up to date while ensuring it’s still in style many years down the road.

Pools
Glass tile looks gorgeous on the interior of a swimming pool, and can help enhance the light-catching properties of the water. Note: If you’re browsing for pool tile, always check with one of our team members to confirm whether a product is pool-rated before moving forward with your project.
