Glass tile has been around for many years and with all the shapes and sizes and colors and textures we have today it’s hard to beat. There are so many colors and shades available that architects and interior designers are implementing glass tile more and more in their upcoming projects.

There just is not anything else out there that has such a huge color palette that varies from very bright colors too subtle pastel shades. There is also a very large size selection of glass tile and mosaic glass tile that can range from 3/8” x 3/8” all the way to 12” x 12”. Some of the terrazzo mosaic tile, which is an engineered stone, is available in slab form up to 118 inches by 58 inches. The slab form is especially great for countertops and is fabricated just like marble or granite.

One of the coolest things I’ve seen in a long time is mosaic tile that glows in the dark. The tile takes in the ambient light of the surrounding room and when it gets dark it radiates a glowing light. This is great for a dark hallway bathroom or a child’s room, who needs a night light! A really incredible application is using this glowing mosaic tile for the water line around your swimming pool, when the sun goes down the swimming pool takes on a completely unique look and saves electricity.

This is also a great idea as a decorative feature strip for exterior steps to designate this step from the tread and maybe save a few broken ankles.
