With the introduction of our Solana Beveled Glass Subway tiles we knew we also needed a glass tile trim piece for use on projects that have an exposed edge. Thus, we are also introducing a collection of glass tile quarter rounds in matching colors to our Solana Glass subway tile collection and our Solana beveled subway tile collection.

There are eight glass tile quarter round colors even though our Solana glass subway tiles only consist of seven colors at this time. This is because we added a black color quarter round for those projects where folks might want to add a dark trim as a decorative piece with white or lighter color tiles.

Our glass tile quarter rounds are sold by the piece and they are in stock and ready for immediate shipment.

We have seen an increased interest this month from our customers choosing our glass floor tiles for projects such as a family entertainment room as well as a commercial building entry way. Glass tile made for and used as a floor tile can add a very unique design element to a space where one may be wishing to add a wide area of color. For this purpose we offer both the Trumpet and the Cello glass floor tile collections for our customers to choose from.

Clear glass has been used as a floor surface since the early 1900’s when glass block was introduced to provide natural light under city sidewalks and to walking passages in industrial and manufacturing plants. Glass has also been used as flooring in commercial projects such as restaurants and hotels where large panels are used in 3’ x 3’ or 4’ x 4’ blocks that often weigh several hundred pounds per piece. Today, glass has been adapted for home and light commercial use so more folks can enjoy the beauty of glass material in their home and work locations.

Both the Trumpet and Cello glass floor tiles are offered in standard floor tile sizes from the AnchorBayTile website but they are both also available in many custom sizes that are made via a special order. Please inquire directly to us via email to sales – AT – anchorbaytile.com if you have any further questions about these or any of our tiles.

Earlier this week we introduced a new product in the form of a 10 inch Diamond Blade made for cutting Glass Tiles. Our diamond blade products are made for WET use on a tile wet saw and they are manufactured with a continuous rim and the finer diamonds found on glass tile blades.

Our Glass tile diamond blade in 10 inch size is made by a true R & D company who continually strives to manufacture the finest products on the market. Because of this commitment to making quality diamond blade products our customers can expect a longer blade life on their tile jobs and no shredding or chipping of the glass which can be common for lower cost glass tile blades.

Our diamond blade products are now in stock and can be shipped immediately to your home or business location.

Building upon our post on Friday we wanted to share some additional ideas on using glass mosaic tiles as an accent choice when planning your remodeling project. The nice thing about using glass mosaic tiles as an accent in a kitchen backsplash, bathroom shower or other area is you typically only need to purchase one or two sheets to supply all the material you will need for your project.

Glass Mosaic Tile sheets can easily be cut in to strips by using a utility blade and cutting the mesh that the tiles are mounted to. Most folks cut the mesh in to 2” or 3” strips to have a row of two or three glass tiles to break up an area or large wall. You can also cut the glass mosaic tile sheets in to 3” x 3” squares and insert them in to a project as accent pieces either randomly or create your own fun pattern.

Have a look at the project photos above for some ideas shared with us by some of our customers which we are happy to share with you our Blog readers.

Our Solana Glass Mosaic Tile Blends tiles are available in a 1” x 1” size in four coordinating colors that match our 3” x 6” Solana Glass Subway tiles. The Meadow color is a wonderful light and soft green color that matches our Mint color Glass Subway Tile. The Smooth Grey glass mosaic tile blend shares the same name as our Solana 3” x 6” glass subway tile color in smooth grey. The Blue Lagoon glass mosaic tile blend is a mix of three colors with one of the primary colors being our Solana 3” x 6” Cool Blue color. Finally, the Sand Dune blend is a mix of Cappuccino and Khaki and coordinates with each of the colors in the same name in our 3” x 6” glass subway tile collection.

These glass mosaic tile blends are a great and affordable choice as a shower accent stripe when paired together with our 3” x 6” glass subway tiles. We have also had clients use the 3” x 6” glass subway tiles in the shower and use the coordinating glass mosaic tiles color as the kitchen backsplash choice. This way the color palette in the home can be consistent from one room to another.

We would love to hear any creative ideas you might have to use our glass mosaic tiles and glass subway tiles in a unique and fun design.
