Bejewel Your Home with Colorful Glass Tile
Today's glass tile is an exciting decorative material that adds beauty and drama to a home. If you want to try glass tile but think it's too expensive for your budget, consider creating a single panel or covering just one wall of your space. It will give you more bang for your buck. Think of it as jewelry; a little goes a long way. Glass mosaic tile comes mesh backed or paper faced and most are priced between $20-$40 a square foot. Let's take a look at some shining examples from houzz:

Oceanside Glasstile takes great care in the annealing or cooling process to insure that the glass anneals at the proper temperatures and for the correct length of time. Improperly annealed glass can contain unseen stresses that may result in breakage later in the life of the product.
