We wanted to show you some product combinations that look really nice together using items from some of our different product categories. The first two products that we decided to spotlight involve our subway tiles and our glass mosaic tiles. This combination might not be so obvious which is why we have selected it first.

For those working on a kitchen backsplash with a large area to cover and for those working on any shower tiling project, we have a subway tile and a glass mosaic tile combination that might just be right for you. Have a look at our Cottage Lane subway tiles and our Solana Glass Mosaic tiles in 1” x 1”.
Let’s go beyond the snowflake white and the summer beige color and choose our sleeper color which we call Almond. We have had our cottage lane subway tiles in development for some time and last summer 2010 when we added colors to our Solana glass mosaic tile collection we actually created the Seychelles color blend with the Almond cottage lane color in mind. The colors in the Seychelles glass mosaic tile blend work very well in combination with our almond subway tile color.

How to put the two together? Use the Seychelles blend as an accent strip to add color when using the almond color subway tiles for a kitchen backsplash or a bathroom shower. Or, use the Seychelles glass mosaic tile blend and cut them in to 2” x 2” or 3” x 3” squares to serve as accent pieces placed at different points along a backsplash installation or in a tiled shower. Glass tiles serve as a wonderful accent choice when used together with subway tiles that are installed in a large tiled area that needs some color.

Give us a call if you have any questions about incorporating glass tiles in to your subway tile design. For those considering our almond color subway tiles together with our Solana Seychelles color glass mosaic tiles, we would be willing to discount your order in return for photos of the completed installation showing both tiles used together. If this is you, please do give us a call closer to the time when you are ready to proceed with your project.

We had a wonderful client who completed their bathroom shower project recently and was kind enough to share their tile project photos with us showing our Solana Glass Subway tiles in Cool Blue installed.

The client we think did a very nice job with the glass tile installation and notice the matching Solana glass tile quarter rounds which frame the shower niche area. Thank you very much for sharing your project photos so we can share them with our potential customers. Call us anytime if we can assist you in planning and preparing for your tile project. We would be happy to help.

We have had a few questions about our new Cottage Lane subway tiles and specifically, whether we make a bullnose piece to match in size with our 2” x 4” tiles. That is a good question and the answer is no, however, we do have a solution for those wishing to install our 2” x 4” tiles and use bullnose pieces as the trim piece.

We make a 3” x 6” bullnose piece to go with our Cottage Lane subway tiles and we recommend that customers can simply cut an inch off of the 6-inch (length) side of this piece thus creating a 2” wide piece of bullnose. Very simple to do and it only adds one small step to the installation process.

Hopefully this answers at least one of the Cottage Lane product questions which we have been getting. If you have any other questions that we have not answered either on our website or on our Blog, please either send us an email or just give us a call and we would be happy to help.

As always, we appreciate your business and your support.

We thought we would post a photo of our new Cottage Lane Subway tiles now resting comfortably in our warehouse here in Tempe, AZ. We love when we get new material in since it is always exciting to debut a new tile line. There is so much to do with a new line but the first thing to do is finding space for all of those pallets.

Order your Cottage Lane subway tile samples today. Once you see the tiles you will see just how beautiful it really is. We can’t wait to receive our first installation photos which we expect in the next 30 days or so. Check back often since we will post them once we have them.

We hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving holiday and enjoyed the time off with their families. We took time away from the computer to eat too much, play with the kids and visit with friends and family for most of the weekend. We are looking forward to a wonderful and festive holiday season and we wanted to kick off the shopping season with some deals for our loyal Blog readers and customers.

So whether you have December tile plans or not, use the Cyber Monday savings to purchase the tile you need now for that spring or even summer tile project that many of you are researching and thinking about as we speak.

Happy Holidays to everyone and as always we appreciate your business and your support!

On the heels of placing our Kona Blends glass mosaic tiles on closeout we have also decided to closeout and discontinue our Milano glass mosaic tile series. We need the room so as long as supplies last you the customer benefit on fantastic pricing on the beautiful colors available in the Milano glass tile series.

Our Milano glass mosaic tiles were formerly priced mostly at $12 per square foot so our closeout pricing of $4.99 per square foot represents a discount of greater than 50%! Just as with our Kona Blends glass mosaic tiles this pricing is while supplies last and when the stock is gone, it is gone for good and is not coming back.

All sales of the Milano and Kona Blends glass mosaic tile series are final with no refunds, exchanges, or returns allowed. Whether you plan to tile today or sometime in 2011 this is a great price on glass tile that will surely not be around for long.

We might also consider better pricing for someone willing to take all of the stock of any one color. For this option please do give us a call and lets see what we might be able to work out.

In order to make room for new material coming in that we will be launching for 2011 we have decided to clear out some of our glass tile collections to make room for the new material.

We are offering our Kona Blends 1” x 2” Glass Mosaic Tiles formerly priced at $11.00 per square foot for an ultra-low price of only $4.99 per sf. This price is only valid while supplies last and all Sales are Final. No returns or exchanges will be accepted.

This is a great opportunity to score some very good quality glass mosaic tiles in beautiful blended colors at an un-heard of price. We dare you to compare our 1” x 2” glass mosaic tile pricing to any company out there whether on or off-line and we are confident our pricing is some of the lowest found in the marketplace.

Buy what you need because once it is gone it won’t be coming back. As we said, we have new material on it’s way and thus we need to make room in our warehouse for the new material we will presenting to you our customers at the beginning of 2011.

AnchorBayTile is now offering a free Glass Tile Diamond Blade in 7” for any purchase of $750 or more of our Solana Glass Subway Tiles in either the standard flat edge style or the Beveled edge glass tile. Simply place your order online or via phone and when your order totals $750 or more we will throw in a Glass Tile Diamond Blade 7” for FREE.

We always recommend our customers use a Glass Tile Diamond Blade when making cuts to any glass field tiles. Using a diamond blade made for ceramic or porcelain tiles will cause shredding or chipping of the glass and will not result in a fine cut. Glass mosaic tiles of course can be cut with tile nippers made for glass tile.

We always appreciate the business and the support of our customers and we are constantly looking for ways to add more value to our shopping experience. Call or email us anytime with questions about our products and we would be happy to help.

Our project spotlight today focuses on a homeowner who searched several tile stores in their local community and was unable to find the glass tile color they were looking for before turning to the internet to see if the color selection might be better online. After searching several tile websites the customer settled on ordering samples of several of our glass mosaic tiles then finally settled on our Solana collection and the color Meadow.

As the photo above shows the Kitchen where the material was installed came out fantastic and the Meadow color really blends well with the countertops and the surrounding area. The customer could not be more pleased with the finished project and we are pleased that he chose us for his tile purchase.

You can order a sample of the Meadow color Solana glass mosaic tile in only a few clicks from your computer and the samples will be shipped out to you right away. In addition, we are always available to answer your product or project questions so feel free to phone us at anytime.

As always, we appreciate your business and your support!

Our new Bamboo tiles arrived yesterday and we are busy packing them away, preparing samples and getting the product ready to present on our website. The colors came out absolutely beautiful and the wait was well worth it. We will be introducing two new styles of Bamboo with both styles offered in two distinct colors.

Give us a little bit more time to get our act together and we will post pictures when the product is just about ready for prime time. We think you will agree when you see the new photos that the wait was definitely worth it.

Thank you for your patience and we appreciate all of the customers who trust us and support us by using our products on their remodeling and renovation projects.
