Description Installation Tips Return Policy
 
  • Setting Materials
  • Laticrete 254 Platinum Multipurpose Thinset Mortar, or, Mapei Kerabond Premium Dry set Mortar mixed with Keralastic Mortar Admix. Any of these choices are more than adequate for the job and will ensure a proper bonding of your material. For wet area installation, we recommend using Laticrete Epoxy adhesive.
  • While many installers will use Mastic when installing glass tile, we do not recommend this when installing glass tile due to the potential for yellowing of the material over time and more importantly, the lower bond strength than that offered by the setting materials profiled above.
  • Anti-Fracture/Waterproofing Membranes
  • Use of an anti-fracture membrane is strongly recommended in most glass tile installations. Many substrates may continue to cure over a period of months and an anti fracture membrane prevents shrinkage or movement of the substrate to mirror through the tile. Saying this, be sure to install only over well cured, stable substrates.
  • Grout
  • In general, when grouting Glass mosaic tile, Non Sanded grout can be used and is more suitable for glass mosaic tile due to the small grout joints that are normal with this tile. When installing Glass Field tile, Sanded grout would probably be the preferred choice due to the potential for larger grout joints in your installation. For wet area installation, we recommend using Laticrete Spectralock Epoxy grout.
  • When setting glass mosaics a 3/16” x ¼ V-Notch trowel is recommended, while a ¼” x ¼” square notch trowel is preferred for installing glass field tile. Spread as much adhesive with a notched trowel in an area no larger than what can be covered within 15 minutes. Using the flat side of the trowel flatten the notches to achieve a smooth consistent setting bed approximately 1/8” thick for mosaics and 3/16” thick for field tile.
  • Cutting your Glass Tile
  • Hand glass cutting tools or wet saw with a diamond “cut-off” blade. Edges can be sanded smooth after cutting
  • Grouting your Glass Tile
  • Finish your project by using a rubber grout float to grout your almost completed installation. Push the grout in to the joints at a level following the manufacturer’s recommendations. Clean the grouted material by wiping with a damp tile sponge and removing any excess grout haze with a dry cheesecloth. Allow the grout to cure for a period of 48 hours before removing any final grout haze with a clean and dry soft cloth. When using Epoxy grout, please follow manufacturer's installation instruction.

Great Deal! July 15, 2010
Reviewer: Kate M from Grand Rapids, MI  
I bought both RB28A and RB21A for $4.99 with free shipping!  That's one hell of a deal!  Order arrived fast and safe.  Checked the tiles on RB28A.  I dont think its a big problem.  It was easy fix.  Some other company would have sold it as if they are perfect.  I will definitely recommend my friends to buy from glasstiletrend.  Great people.

RB28A May 21, 2010
Reviewer: Tom from Phoenix, AZ  
Saw this glass tile for $4.99 but description states that there are some chips that are not lined up.  I felt they were honest to put that on the site.  I have bought from a couple other glass store online and they would send two different shades or plain just dont tell u about the problems.  I bought a full sheet sample to see how this went.  There were some, maybe 5 to 8 chips on a sheet, if you are being picky, that are slightly off.  For $4.99, what else can i ask for?  It was a good deal all the way with free shipping.  Placed a full order to use for my laundry room.    Peeled the chips off, set the sheet on thin set, plug the chips back and made sure they lined up, grout it and done.  Wife is happy!

RB28A May 6, 2010
Reviewer: Betty M. from Portland, Oregon  
After reading the previous review, I decided to buy this item. I unplugged those misaligned tiles before my husband installed them.  Then, I just put them back on while the thin set is still fresh.  It turned out great.  Not bad at all for the price.
