Seven Things to Know About a Glass Tile Backsplash

For time immemorial, glass has been the supreme inspiration behind most artistic creations. No wonder, significant swathes of the population rely on the champagne sparkle and shimmer of a glass tile backsplash to up the glam quotient and demolish the quotidian dreariness in their personal space.

Sparkling Results For All To See

For those looking for a bright spark of an idea to infuse a dose of freshness and a frission of excitement in the vapid environs of their kitchens are suffused with a sense of fulsome buoyancy at the thought of installing a backsplash created with glass.

There are seven sparkling reasons why this uncontaminated spectacle inspires such a great deal of admiration:

  • Here's a material that compliments all cabinets and countertops.
  • A small claustrophobic kitchen gets transformed almost instantly, liberating it from the constraints of limited space.
  • The exhaustive color palette easily wins the plaudits of all members of the creative and artistic community. Flaming reds, soothing tans and vibrant yellows have become the universal medium to express a thousand emotions.
  • If your artistic heft is substantial, you can etch your way to stardom on colored glass.
  • The dizzying array of shapes, sizes and textures can add a spark or two to both a modern and traditional kitchen. There's nothing like glass to unite all the diverse rustic and modern elements with its trademark avant garde style.
  • Style certainly walks arm-in-arm with substance. Being a non-porous material, it does not absorb moisture, and hence all fears relating to any kind of mold and mildew blighting its sheer magnificence are sequestered to the background.
  • With clear adhesive, a smooth coat of thinset and epoxy grout, these tiles are ready to cement their place in our consciousness forever.
