Glass tempered

tile

Descriptions: These glass tiles are a smooth glossy finish. Colors tend to wash out a bit as seen in the photo. These tiles exceed ASTM tests set forth by ANSI standards for commercial and residential floor, wall and pool applications. Images are applied to the backside of the glass to protect the dyes from wear and abrasion. Not suitable for outdoor "direct sunlight" applications.

Tempered glass tiles cannot be cut.

Sizes: 4.25” x 4.25”, 6” x6”, 6”x8”, 8” x 8”.  Special order 12 x 12

Thickness: .25”

Adhesive: Although the imaged glass tiles have a white backing, we recommend white or light-colored adhesive to insure vivid, uniform color for the image. To avoid uneveness, apply a thinset  such as MegaFlex Ultimate Thin-set, with a 1/4” notched trowel. This will give the thinset an even height across your surface. You will also want to use spacers between the tiles to keep the grout joints even—we recommend at least 1/8”. Apply the adhesive to the wall or floor per manufacturers’ recommendations. Then, a thin coat of the same adhesive is applied to the back of the tile covering it completely, making sure that the bond is even across the entire tile.

CLEANING: Tiles can be cleaned with ay household non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth or sponge.
