  TEMPERED GLASS TILE

DESCRIPTION: These glass tiles are a smooth glossy finish. Colors tend to wash out a bit as seen in the photo. These tiles exceed ASTM tests set forth by ANSI standards for commercial and residential floor, wall and pool applications. Images are applied to the backside of the glass to protect the dyes from wear and abrasion. Not suitable for outdoor "direct sunlight" applications.

Tempered glass tiles cannot be cut. We only recommend MegaFlex Ultimate Thin-Set Mortar in White for mounting the textured glass tile in any application.  Manufactured by Custom Building Products (www.custombuildingproducts.com), this adhesive should be readily available in most areas, and has exhibited superior bond strength without damaging the white backing on the tiles. 

GROUT: You should use a grout specifically formulated for use with glass tile.
