My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Have you had any problems with the glass tile backsplash?

7 years ago
I have the very same thing I believe in my kitchen. Completed in December 2018. 5 tiles have developed cracks months after the project was completed.

    Oh no, that probably isn't the look you are going for! Yes it is a glass tile, and fortunately there have not been any issues with cracking in this installation. If the house is shifting or settling you may want to wait to replace, however a really good tiler can cut those out and replace. Hopefully they are all in the same area and you don't experience anymore. Good luck!
