Glass kitchen backsplash or painted glass backsplashes are modern, classy, and elegant. Its use is growing as more homeowners realize its benefits. Aside from its beauty and shine, glass is usually more abrasion-resistant and more robust against impact compared to traditional tile materials such as porcelain and ceramic.
But, like most materials, glass has its trade-offs. It is more sensitive to thermal shock and has a greater thermal expansion. These innate weaknesses must be addressed during the installation of the glass tiles. In areas where rapid changes in temperatures take place such as near the oven, great care should be taken. The additional movement of the glass during expansion must be accounted for when installing it.
Additionally, special mortar systems need to be used for proper tile adhesion. Only an expert glass service company will know the right process for working with and installing glass tiles for your backsplash.
