Installation Information

Grouting: For grout lines of 1/16" we recommend the use of an unsanded grout. To grout glass tiles, spread the grout on the surface using a float, pressing it deep into the joints. Grout joints will take longer to set up because glass tile is non porous and does not absorb liquid. Let set for approximately 20 minutes then clean with a soft dry cloth or paper towel. Once the tile is clean, go back over with clean water and a damp sponge to remove any topical film.

Cutting: Hand Cutting: The easiest, fastest way to cut glass tile is with a simple glass-scoring tool and running pliers. Score the glass lightly on the front along the desired cut line. Hold tile between jaws with score lined up with center mark on top of the running pliers. Tighten adjustment screw until it stops, then turn back one rotation. Gradually increase pressure on the glass tile until the score runs. Squeezing gently will give you more control over the way the tile will break.

Saw Cutting: Glass Tiles may also be cut with a wet saw (www.diamondsaws.com) If using a wet saw, be sure to use a diamond blade. A diamond blade specifically used for cutting glass has smaller diamonds then those used for ceramic tile. Never use a ceramic blade to cut glass. Ceramic blades tend to be coarser and will chip the glass. It is very important when cutting glass to use adequate amounts of water to cool the blade and to cut slowly. When cutting glass on a wet band saw, cut tile face down. This will prevent the face of the tile from chipping. A light piece of cardboard on the saws cutting table will protect the surface of the glass from scratches during the cutting process. If necessary, finish the edges of the glass with a glass grinder or scythe stone.

Maintenance & Care: Glass tiles can be routinely cleaned with any non abrasive cleaning compound or formula that is recommended for both glass and tile. Windex works great!
