Types of Mosaic Glass Tiles You Can Choose For Your Home

Over the years, more and more homeowners are incorporating glass tiles into different aspects of their homes. These glass tiles can be used for splashbacks, wall tiles or even flooring. However, if you would like something that is not only functional but aesthetically appealing too, you could consider mosaic glass tiles. Here are some types of mosaic glass tiles that you can choose for your home.

Translucent marbles

These are also referred to as translucent glass gems. These types of mosaic glass tiles have a characteristic round and flattened shape, which makes them easy to install. They also come in an array of colours, thus ensuring you can always find a colour scheme suited to your décor. Some of the more common applications that these translucent marbles are used for include splashbacks and decorative tile work.

Stained mosaic glass tiles

With this type of glass tiles, dye is added into the glass as it is being created. This will result in mosaic glass tiles that are either clear or the glass tiles become lined with colour. Typically, stained glass tiles are not used exclusively on their own. Rather they are used to brighten up the wall tiles and flooring tiles.

Recycled mosaic glass tiles

As the name suggests, this type of glass tiles consist of an array of broken glass materials. As such, they can comprise a myriad of different types of glass ranging from soda bottles, window louvres and more. Some manufacturers of recycled mosaic glass tiles may also choose to incorporate broken ceramic pieces into the creation of the recycled glass tiles. The ceramic pieces add a unique element to the pieces that cannot be found in other forms of mosaic glass tiles.

Tumbled mosaic glass tiles

This type of mosaic glass tiles are created by tumbling glass until all the sharp edges have been eliminated. They are a popular option for individuals who are looking to create mosaic glass tile works on their own rather than having to hire professional contractors. This is because they are much safer to work with since their sharp edges have been eliminated.

Van Gogh mosaic glass tiles

This type of mosaic glass tiles have a metallic sheen painted at the back. This metallic sheen is then painted over in black. The two coats of paint function to create a mirror finish at the front of the mosaic tile. This mirror finish gives the mosaic tiles unusual depth, which works to creating unique designs. You can get Van Gogh mosaic glass tiles in solid colours or in a mixture of various colours to enhance the depth of the design.
