We often get asked what size grout joints should be used with our Solana Glass Subway Tile. In our opinion most subway tile installations look much cleaner and are more “true to the material” when the grout joints are spaced as tightly as is technically possible with your chosen tile. Glass Subway tile comes in many shapes and sizes so our answer in this case will apply mostly to our brand of Solana Glass Subway tile.

Glass is such a modern and contemporary look most interior designers will tell you that when designing with material that fits in to a modern theme it is best to showcase the primary material as much as is possible and to minimize any distractions to the eye which may take away from the look you are trying to achieve.

We recommend installing our Solana glass subway tiles using a 1/8” grout joint which is about as close as is technically safe to install this type of tile. Choose a grout color that coordinates with the tile and you will have a beautiful installation that will draw loads of compliments from all of your friends. For more ideas on how our tiles may look in a kitchen or bathroom like yours, have a look at the installation photos for this tile under the more photos area from the Solana Glass Subway tile page.
