Glass Mosaic
Uses for Mosaic Glass
Bathroom
Mosaic tiles can add vibrancy to any room and the shower area is one of the most practical locations where this tile can be installed because of its resistance to water.
If you want a “jungle-feel” for your bathroom, designing it with green mosaic tiles will make you embrace nature while taking a bath. Add indoor exotic plants, scented candles and flowers, and you successfully create a cohesive space in your home—an enclosed haven for instant relaxation. Suggested type for the bathroom is marble mosaic which can form stunning flooring, walls and also shelves.
While the process of cleaning bathroom tiles is normally tedious, cleaning mosaic tiles is not at all tiring. If you’re a busy housewife, you don’t need to worry because maintaining this tile is not complicated. Humidity and heat do not affect its substance and germs and bacteria don’t live on mosaic tiles. This makes your family safe from infections and hygienic issues.
Kitchen
Apart from the shower area, the kitchen is one ideal place where mosaic tiles would be functional. Aside from enhancing decors as a backsplash for the kitchen sink, they are normally solid and durable materials that are able to withstand the test of time. Because mosaic tiles are made from rocks and pebbles, they are incredibly durable and cannot be scratched easily. Mosaic tiles can also be put to kitchen walls to make that boring area in your house stand out and blend in with modernity of your cabinets. The most common and appropriate to use are limestone mosaics which have different designs to choose from: natural, polished, flamed, hammered and beveled.
Swimming Pool Area
There are quality mosaic tiles that can be used practically for outdoors. A good example is using glass mosaic tiles in your swimming pool area. This is to further spruce up lighting and brightness under direct sunlight. In contrast to using colorful mosaic tiles, tiles with bright colors and bold patterns are also good options to be incorporated in this area.
Mosaic tiles are perfect for use in any modern home decorating. Not only do they add color and life to your home, but they can also last for a very long time provided that you exert enough effort to maintain it. Aside from bathrooms, kitchens and swimming pool areas, they can also look attractive in gardens and in any indoor or outdoor flooring.
Advantages of Mosaic Glass Tile
Design: Probably the biggest benefit of using mosaic glass in a flooring application is the beauty that can be achieved with a proper installation. You have a choice between solid and multicolored tiles, which can be arranged in simple or intricate patterns. Some stores will also sell repeating patterns which can be used to create complex pictures of flowers or animals.
Clean: Glass tiles are resistant to stains, mold, and mildew. They tend to show dirt very easily so you will always know when its time to clean. They are resistant to chemical damage and they aren’t porous, so you don’t have to worry about grime sinking into the tile. They are also very easy to clean, and can be wiped down with a damp cloth or mopped up with warm water. In the case of soap scum buildup in a bathroom a mild vinegar solution can be used.
Luminous: All but the darkest glass tiles will tend to reflect light, rather than absorb it. This can make the mosaic pieces seem to glow with a luminous radiance that you can’t find in any other flooring material.
Durability: As long as your glass tiles have passed the stringent ASTM standards required to be used as flooring material, they should be durable and resistant to cracking under anything save sharp direct force applied with a hard object such as a hammer.
