Those who want to remodel their kitchens or bathrooms often think of many different materials but few take the glass tile home. Most resort to ceramic tiles, stone, even metal, but only a few appreciate the jaw-dropping beauty of the glass tiles.<\/p>\n<p>Here are several reasons why the glass tile should become one of the popular options \u2013<\/p>\n<p><strong>Customized Look <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Glass tiles come in an endless array of colors, transparencies, and bold designs. You can truly customize the look of your kitchen or bathroom with the use of this beautiful material. Choose the size and color of the tile then create a pattern that you can use for installation.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Wanna go classic? Then find subway tiles. If you want to be more modern, then look for the mosaic glass tiles. Glass tile borders or insets can also complement stone or ceramic backsplash. You can further heighten your creativity by painting the wall beside the glass tiles with the same shade. Your options are actually limitless so this is the perfect material to use if you want to express your individuality.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Space Expansion <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Glass is known for its reflective properties. It can sparkle while bouncing off the light around the room. This reflection can visually expand your space. A kitchen that is small or too dark would do well to use glass tiles that would reflect light coming from a good lighting source. Unlike the usual ceramic tiles, glass can add depth as well as interest to the kitchen walls.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1552\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" ><a href=\"http:\/\/mccreerys.blogs.eprevue.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2016\/07\/BLOG-7.-Maitland-Smith-Kitchen-Wall-Mounted-Towel-Holder-With-Cast-Brass-Twig-And-Bird-Motif-1254-316.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1552\" src=\"http:\/\/mccreerys.blogs.eprevue.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2016\/07\/BLOG-7.-Maitland-Smith-Kitchen-Wall-Mounted-Towel-Holder-With-Cast-Brass-Twig-And-Bird-Motif-1254-316-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Maitland-Smith Kitchen Wall Mounted Towel Holder With Cast Brass Twig And Bird Motif 1254-316: Wood also marries well with glass so this piece would surely look magnificent in your bathroom. \" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Maitland-Smith Kitchen Wall Mounted Towel Holder With Cast Brass Twig And Bird Motif 1254-316: Wood also marries well with glass so this piece would surely look magnificent in your bathroom.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Glass Is Green <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Glass tiles will never grow mold and mildew which is why they are great for family members with allergies. They are also stain-resistant even easy to maintain and clean. What you need to do to keep them clean is to just wipe using wet cloth \u2013 and you\u2019re done. If you want a more thorough cleanup, then use a mild detergent. A more eco-friendly option is to use recycled glass which come in green color.<\/p>\n<p>Their stylishness is also a huge plus.<\/p>\n<p>There are also some cons to the use of glass tiles. Weigh your options by knowing both benefits and downsides.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Glass Tiles Can be Costly <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Glass tile is more expensive than stone or ceramic tiles. The price depends greatly on the kind of glass used. It can vary from $7 to about $30 for each square foot. If you have set a limited budget, then consider adding just an accent border to your stone or ceramic backsplash.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tricky Installation <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Though glass is durable once installed, it can be a bit delicate when still in its raw form. The glass tile backsplash is not your perfect material for DIY weekend projects.<\/p>\n<p>Cutting and grouting, alone, require precision when it comes to glass tiling. Should you try to attempt the project on your own, you could end up with more breakage than successful installation. You can always turn to a pro for help but with their expertise comes a fee.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Difficult to Repair <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Glass may be easy to maintain and clean but they easily show smudges and fingerprints. Since this is so, homeowner\u2019s tendency is to clean up more often. This could lead to scratches or cracks when gritty materials were used to clean the glass surface.<\/p>\n<p>It is often impossible to fix a cracked glass tile so be careful in cleaning it up.<\/p>\n<p>Glass tiles are an exciting journey towards a more dramatic and beautiful home. If you\u2019re thinking of trying this material, then find out how much would be required for your space, what style or color would go with your theme, and which professional installer you would be hiring.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s time to add sparkle to your life so have glass tiles installed soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Backsplashes are known to infuse personality to kitchens.
