Benefits Of Bathroom Glass Tile

The use of bathroom glass tile design has been on the rise in recent years. Once considered too expensive for the average home owner, glass tiles have been becoming more affordable. The popularity of glass tile lies in its many design uses and practicality.

Glass is durable and easy to clean, both important qualities for bathroom tile. Glass is non-porous, making it impervious to mildew, mold, and bacteria. Easy to clean means that there is no staining and little effort to maintain. An entire bathroom, including floors, can be done in glass tiles thanks to improved slip resistant products and floor specific products.

The design options for bathroom glass tiles are nearly limitless. Glass tiles come in a myriad of colors, shapes, designs, and sizes. Tile artists are available who can paint custom designs on glass tiles, making each one a mini work of art. Complex mosaics can be created with little effort for back splashes, flooring, and counter tops by using different shapes and colors of tiles.

There are several kinds of glass tiles that look especially stunning in a bathroom. There are tiles that have bubbles of air trapped in their translucent surface, adding visual interest. Fused tiles have opaque color floating under a transparent, and often colored, surface. Finally, etched glass tiles with their distinctive surface design are a popular choice for bathrooms.

For small bathrooms or those with little light, bathroom glass tiles are the perfect choice to open up the room. Due to their high gloss, glass tiles effectively reflect natural light making an area seem bright and spacious. Even large, well lit bathrooms benefit from this, as it makes any room more attractive.

Glass tile is easier to install than most ceramic tiles, and does not dull over time. Smaller tiles do not require a wet saw, as they come in sheets that are easy to cut to fit most any space. Designs for mosaics can be glued to a sheet made for easy installation.

Afford ability, durability, and convenience make bathroom glass tile a good choice in decorating projects. Easy installation saves time and money for do-it-yourselfers and professionals alike.
