As overseen by the Tile Council of America, these textured glass tiles are the first dye-sublimation tiles to meet and exceed ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) tests set forth by ANSI (American National Standards Institute) standards for commercial and residential floor, wall and pool applications. Also recommended for backsplashes and countertops. These tiles are 1/4" thick and are impervious to water. Images are applied to the backside of the glass to protect the dyes from wear and abrasion.
Tempering is added to the larger tiles for strength. Tempered glass tiles cannot be cut. So for applications where cutting is necessary (corners, holes, etc. in floor installations), please ask us about ordering non-tempered tiles. The 6" x 6" and 6" x 8" tiles meet the ANSI and ASTM standards above without tempering. The 8" x 10" tiles are always tempered, and the 12" x 12" tiles are offered in tempered and non-tempered. For the 12" tile installations, you would want to use the tempered tiles except where cutting is needed. The non-tempered tile may be cut with a glass cutter, or a tile saw (wet saw application, diamond blade).
Please refer to our section on Tile Murals for more information.
Due to costs, we do not keep large supplies of glass tiles in stock, but will order them for you once you place your order with us. Please call us first to discuss the type and size mural you need as well as photo requirements. Since these tiles are designed for mural use, we typically do not offer them individually with frames or stands.
