Glass backsplash

11 years ago

Love the glass!
How does one install the glass panel? Can a tiler place it? And would it be risky in earthquake zone?

Thanks,
Anna

Hi, glad you like it, it is installed similar to glass tile so a tiler should be able to do it. This is a house in San Francisco so it may be subjected to earthquakes but should be no different than a common window.

Let me know if you have any other questions,

Is it actually glass or is it plexiglass?
