For many American households, the kitchen is the most important area in their homes. What sets one kitchen apart from another is the design and materials. Kitchen Glass Tiles will make your kitchen a more exciting place, as they are an ideal new material to be installed in any kitchen, either it be the backsplash, walls, floors or even countertops. Glass Tile gives your kitchen an embracing presence because of its ability to refract light.
Quick Tips on choosing Kitchen Glass Tiles:
* Selection - For smaller sizes glass mosaic tile, choose one that come on a sheet (mesh back) for easy alignment and installation. For larger size glass tiles like 3"x 6" and up, they usually come in loose pieces so they can be installed in the classic subway style or stacked style.
* Preparation - Wet areas like backsplash and bathroom need a cemement based substrate for moisture control. Use anti fracture or crack-suppression membrane under glass tile to prevent cracking due to substrate shift.
* Installation - Use high quality thin set like Laticrete 254 Platimum and non sanded grout. Seal the grout lines after grout is completely cured. For Kitchen area application, it is highly recommend using Epoxy grout for waterproof installation. It will help resist mildew and mold. Visit www.laticrete.com for more information.
* Care and Maintenance - Glass tile has a non porous and low-maintenance surface. It is stain-resistant, and can be cleared of everyday household grime with the wipe of a damp cloth.
