5 reasons why glass mosaic tiles are the best choice for your kitchen backsplash
(5 min read) Mosaic kitchen backsplashes go from aesthetically pleasing to simply captivating. Their beauty is undeniable regardless of what type of mosaic tiles they are made of, but their benefits go far beyond their visual appearance. On the same note, why not make the best of your mosaic kitchen backsplashes by opting for the best mosaic tiles – glass.

When it comes to kitchen backsplash one thing is certain — you will have a hard time deciding what to go for. There is a variety of designs, materials, and types of finishes, all created to look stunning and draw attention. However, not all of the tiles carry the same value in terms of durability and functionality. So you may like one thing more than the other, but on those front glass mosaic tiles are simply the best solution, especially for a backsplash.

Versatility
Glass mosaic tiles are by far the most versatile mosaic tiles out there. Whatever design you may have in mind, there are glass mosaic tiles to fit your idea. Glass mosaic tiles come in countless different shapes, sizes, and colors, and even if you have something special on your mind, you can always arrange for the glass mosaic tiles to be customized to fit your needs.
Wood, natural stone, and ceramic are all terrific choices, but if you are going for a particular style, glass mosaic tiles are much more customizable.


Maintenance
Glass mosaic tiles are much easier to clean than wood, ceramic, marble, or mirror tiles. They are also resistant to staining, mold, mildew, and bacteria, which makes them perfect for both bathroom and kitchen backsplashes. Just clean your glass mosaic backsplash with warm soapy water and a dry towel once in a while and it will look great at all times.


Eco-friendly solution
Implementing environmentally friendly concepts into your home became a must in today’s society. Keeping in mind that sustainability is the key to a better life and brighter future, it is no wonder that people are trying to lead more environmentally conscious lives. If you are looking for sustainable kitchen design solutions, mosaic glass backsplash is a perfect choice. Glass tiles can be scraped and fully repurposed, which makes them viable in more ways than one.


Appearance
When it comes to appearance nothing is quite as beautiful as glass. Unlike other types of mosaic tiles, glass has a transparency to it, which gives it an almost ethereal look. Furthermore, glass has a remarkably shiny surface that reflects the light making your kitchen appear brighter and larger. On the same note, glass mosaic backsplashes are great for small or windowless kitchens.


Durability
Just like with every other type of tile, the durability of glass tile is dependent on its thickness and quality. Glass in itself is a non-porous material which makes it terrific for a moderately busy kitchen, and even if some damage does occur, mosaic tiles are easy to change, so it is not a huge problem like with regular backsplashes.


Glass mosaic backsplashes are indeed gorgeous, but people tend to forget that there are a lot more benefits to them. If you are about to design or remodel your kitchen you should give glass mosaic backsplashes some thought. Feel free to browse through our colorful catalog and check out some of our stunning kitchen backsplash designs.
