Glass Tile
Q. How long does glass tile last?
A. Glass tile is a very durable material with few limitations as far as wear. With regular cleaning, your glass tile can last as long as your entire property.
Q. What’s the best way of cleaning glass tile?
A. Glass tile is a very low-maintenance surface. It is stain-resistant, and can be cleared of everyday household grime with the wipe of a damp cloth. In the case of limestone or calcium build-up, a solution of water and hydrochloric acid will clear tougher materials from the surface of glass tile.
Q. What should I consider when choosing glass tile for flooring?
A. The first thing to think about is the issue of slip-resistance. Most glass tiles meant for flooring will be specified as such. Ask us about the issues regarding slip-resistance, and let us know where you are thinking of installing glass tile.
Q. How long should I wait before subjecting glass tile to full immersion in water?
A. In the case of a glass tile installation for a pool bottom, bathtub, or shower stall, it’s generally advised that once the glass tile has been installed on a stable substrate, it’s a good idea to wait about 20 days to allow the adhesive and the grout to fully set before using the space.
Q. What adhesives work best with glass tile?
A. One of the primary criteria when choosing adhesives for glass tile is the issue of trapped moisture. The impermeability of glass tile often results in trapped moisture after a glass tile installation. This can lead to problems down the line with your substrate, when mold growth becomes an issue which can affect the color of the glass tile, among other issues. Sand-based thinset will limit this problem, as opposed to mastic. When in doubt, seek the advice of local retailers who sell adhesives for tile. Read the instructions of all of the products you decide on, and always follow instructions on the packaging as carefully as you can.
