Glass Tile Backsplash Installation

Gorgeous glass tile backsplashes are utterly captivating, but we recommend professional installation since glass is translucent and adhesive can be visible through the tiles. Also, glass tiles have a higher susceptibility to scratches, so professionals will be able to use unsanded grout to achieve the best results.

When your glass tile backsplash installation day is here, make sure to clear out the kitchen, bathroom, or bar area countertops adjacent to the backsplash area. The wall will first need to be prepared by removing loose paint, wallpaper, or old tile. Once the wall is cleaned, any holes or cracks will need to be patched up, and the wall will need to be sanded.

The installers will determine the center of the backsplash design and dry-fit the glass tile. Once the thinset or tile adhesive is applied, the glass tile will be placed, and grout applied. The glass backsplash will need to dry completely before the area can be used once again.
