The Different types of Glass Tiles
Glass tiles are an incredibly popular tile and are widely used in bathrooms and kitchens. Glass tiles are non porous tiles which ensure they are very hygienic and for this reason, they are an easy tile to clean and maintain. They will also add real elegance and style to any room and can help open up small spaces because they reflect the light so well.
Like all tiles, there are different types of glass tiles, those being, cast, smalti, fused and sintered. Cast glass are normally created from recycled glass, moulded and heated at very high temperatures. Smalti glass are usually smaller tiles and are glazed. The fused glass is usually one piece of glass which is shaped at high temperatures and once shaped, colour is added to the tile. Lastly sintered glass are made from powdered glass and are one of the most popular glass tiles, they are extremely strong and durable and the colours are added before the tiles are heated at high temperatures.
Although glass tiles are never the cheaper option, they will certainly help transform any room and can create both a modern and traditional feel. Glass tiles are often used on backsplash areas in both kitchens and bathrooms, shower areas, bath areas and in and around swimming pools. Glass tiles also come in different sizes and the smaller glass tiles are incredibly popular.
Glass tiles used in and around pools can have spectacular effects; the clear water bounces beautifully off the glass tiles and creates a real illusion. Glass is non porous which makes them ideal for places where there is water and moisture. The colour in the glass tiles will also not fade when exposed to the water and chemicals which makes them an ideal choice.
Hand painted Glass tiles are also available and whilst beautiful are not always suitable for areas such as swimming pools and areas where they will be subjected to lots of moisture. The colour in Glass tiles is normally applied during the firing process and this ensures that the colour will not fade and will remain stable. The hand painted tiles are more suited to areas where they will not be subjected to high levels of moisture, this will ensure they will not fade over time.
Glass tiles are really beautiful and used in the right places will transform any room. Glass tiles are more difficult to install because they are easily broken but there are professional installers who are familiar will glass tiles installation.
