Transform your space with the luminous beauty of glass tile, meticulously crafted in our Washington factory. Fireclay Tile is proud to present a comprehensive guide to our glass tile offerings. Designed to decorate virtually any design project, our glass tiles merge timeless charm with advanced manufacturing techniques, ensuring both beauty and durability.

This guide will walk you through our elevated palette of colors, sizes, suitable applications, performance specifications, and plenty of inspiration along the way. Let's talk about glass!

Gloss vs matte glass

Matte vs. Gloss

All of our glass colors are available in both gloss and matte finishes. Sheen plays a big role in the appearance of your glass tile installation and how light will characterize it. Glossy glass reflects light, brightening a space and delivering a sleek design moment. A matte finish diffuses light with a sophisticated glow and features a dramatic seaglass-like finish.

Beauty Big and Small

From intricate mosaic tiles to contemporary oversized subway tiles, our glass is cut to order following the most essential dimensions in design.

Moreover, our partnership with carbonfund.org ensures that shipping is carbon offset, making your choice beautiful for your home and our collective one.

Precision Installation for Lasting Beauty

To ensure the enduring beauty of our glass tiles, it is crucial to follow precise installation guidelines:

  • Adhere to TCNA guidelines specifically for glass tile.
  • Ensure substrates are flat and stable, utilizing an anti-fracture membrane for optimal results.
  • Use a white modified thin-set designed for glass tiles to prevent any show-through.
