Standard and larger-sized glass tiles, sometimes highlighted by mosaic tiles, are trending for walls. Whether large or small, the tiles are composed of thin pieces of glass backed by a translucent glaze. Put a mosaic glass tile floor in the shower, and you've added an upscale element to the bathroom. Glass can indeed be slippery when wet. But because of the tiles' small size, the grout adds enough traction to the floor to keep it safe.
A thin-set mortar is used to fasten tiles firmly in place, and then tiles are joined together with grout. You have a choice between traditional white or colored grout that complements or contrasts the color of the tile. Grout must be sealed for stain resistance and then cleaned periodically. For quicker installation, glass mosaic tile comes on mesh sheets that are about a one-foot square. Often, tiles are arranged on the mesh in layout patterns like offset and herringbone.
Because glass is translucent, the adhesive can be seen through the tiles. Thus, professional installation is imperative for the best results.
