Glass Tiles: What Dream Interiors Are Made Of
(5 min read) So how are you doing? How’s that coffee you’re drinking from that glass cup working for you? How about those glasses you’re reading this 9-sized font with? Or that glass-coated LCD screen you’re reading this on? Uh-huh, glass-made magic is everywhere baby, and for a good reason.
Glass has always been found in nature, but the very first glass created by humans can be traced back 4,000 years ago to ancient Mesopotamia. First glass-makers used sand, soda, and lime to make a mixture that they would later heat and pour into molds. First glass objects were reserved for the upper classes. They were usually used for either personal or architectural decor, and they varied in size, from tiny pendants to huge and picturesque inlays.
Over time both the glass-making process and its application evolved, so today glass is virtually all around us. Its impact on our planet’s cultural heritage, its industries, and civilization as a whole is undeniable. No other substance has shaped the world as we know it today quite as effectively as glass did. Keeping that in mind, it is no wonder that it has such a wide use in art as well.
Mosaic glass has been around for thousands of years. It first became popular at the beginning of the third century B.C., during the Hellenistic period, and its popularity only grew from there. Today, glass mosaic tiles are the single most used mosaic material for mosaic art of any type.
If you want a stunning, low-maintenance mosaic backsplash in your kitchen, glass mosaic tiles are the way to go. Nothing will make you want to spend more time experimenting with tasty recipes, than a gorgeous mosaic piece above your stove or kitchen sink. Voila! Your kitchen will look marvelous and you will become a chef in no time.
If you are looking for a perfect, easy-to-clean, durable solution for your bathroom, look no further, mosaic tiles are exactly what you need. Whether you opt for some discreet mosaic borders or full-scale under-the-sea scenery for your bathroom floor and walls, your bathroom will look like a luxury spa in its own right.
If you are on a quest to find an amazing artwork to add as a focal point to your wall, or for a piece that will speak volumes of your elegance and attention to detail, mosaic glass art is your thing. No art form will draw as much attention or start as many conversations as glass mosaic art will. Whether you go for an abstract piece or a famous reproduction, or you go for a colorful flora and fauna scene, you can be sure your mosaic artwork will be noticed and appreciated.
Glass mosaic tiles are transparent and reflective, but also impermeable. They will look amazing for ages without being affected by water or bacteria. They are non-toxic, which makes them a sustainable solution for any room or application. Lastly, glass mosaic tiles are virtually inert. They won’t react to its contents or surroundings, remaining safe and unscathed. The terrific properties of glass mosaic tiles are exactly why all our mosaic artworks have a lifetime warranty. Once you buy your artwork with us, you can be sure that it will last you at least one lifetime.
The process of manipulating the chemistry of glass is always in its experimental phase and it’s becoming more and more sophisticated each year. Glass is undoubtedly set to play a significant role in solving some of the major problems society faces every day. And by the words of Beyonce’s husband, “We got ninety-nine problems, but glass mosaic tiles ain’t one.”
