Glass tile transitions

15 years ago

So I've never seen this before until this past weekend while I was viewing some houses in the Parade of Homes. The house used little glass tiles as transitions between their tile/carpet in the master bathroom.

We are building a house and I thought this was a neat idea, so I spoke with our builder. He said depending on the size of the tiles, they could possibly break being used on the floor like that.

Has anyone else seen this done?

I have also seen this done in model homes. Also seen pebbles as a transition. Also pennies. And broken glass/ceramic.

I don't think you'd have a problem with breakage.

it depends on the glass tiles. Some might work, while others don't.

We've never done this though we've seen it. What are the parameters for the type of glass that would work Bill V???

Jeana-- just as with ceramic glazes, some are too soft and will scratch, while others are made (I'm assuming) from a harder glass that won't scratch quite so easily.
