Glass Subway tile with gray grout?

10 years ago

I know gray grout is all the rage, and I see it a lot with white subway tile. But, has anyone done it with glass subway tile (with white backing)? I can't seem to find any photos of it--I like the look of glass tile, and am thinking the gray grout might be a nice accent. This is for a kitchen backsplash with gray cabinets and white quartz countertops. Thanks!

    I am doing this! I can't find any pictures either. I've asked our tile guy to grout a small area so I can see how it looks before they do the the whole thing. This should happen over the next week, I will try to post a pic.

    We have white cabinets, light gray island, snow white (or snow flakes) granite. I am glad to be trying this with the grout, I'm worried it's too blah & cold feeling otherwise...

    I did find one picture awhile back, this is what I'm hoping to accomplish:

    The green glass tile I put in my bathroom would have looked much better with the grey grout I used on the floor tiles than the white grout I used. Do a sample board. It won't look wrong.

    Definitely have your tile person grout either a small area or make a board with some of your tile and one or two grout colors. We did that and it really helped. The grout color we thought we'd go with didn't work at all.

    MissChris15, that is a beautiful kitchen! Can you give details such as cabinet color, tile, and grout? Well done!!

    Thank you! The cabinets are Kitchen Craft Lexington maple in Alabaster. The tile is Dal Tile color wave 3x6 in Ice White…Cape Gray grout & caulk.

    Gardener, the place we picked it from called it Snow White granite, but I discovered it is also called Snow Flakes. Here's one of the slabs we ended up with. I will also try to get a pic once everything's together & the construction debris is gone. it has these lovely sparkly quartz bands running through it, which we made sure to showcase on the perimeter stretch

    misschris, what type of grout did you use? I am going with Colorwave CW17 for a backsplash and am looking for the correct grout to use with that tile. Dal Tile does not seem to have anything regarding grout selection on their website.

    gregklow, it was Polyblend unsanded grout, with a very thin grout line

    alarso2: did you ever do you glass tiles? and if so what kind of grout did you use? I have a glass tile with cream paper/backing and trying to decide what color grout to use- cream or light grey.

    I too couldn’t find photos of glass tile with gray grout. All the photos I found had white grout. To add to my dilemma, the glass tile is textured. I’m currently renovating our bathroom and my designer suggested it. I’m not sure about it.

    My bathroom is finally done with white textured 4x16 glass tile and gray grout. Here are before and after photos.
