Seven Glass Tile Home Improvement Projects

??With a brilliant shine that catches the eye and vibrant colors that seem to glow with light, glass tiles are truly the most spectacular tile you can use in any home improvement project. If you want your design theme to pop, then glass tile is the way to go. Because glass tile is so versatile, there is a wide variety of projects you can use them for. Use this top seven list of glass tile home improvement projects to help narrow down the choices.

Custom Shower Enclosures
What bathroom remodeling project is complete without a custom shower enclosure? Multiple shower heads, plenty of room and built in seats are all nice amenities for a custom shower enclosure, but with the addition of glass tile mosaics, a custom shower enclosure becomes a work of art and the focal point of any bathroom remodeling project.

Kitchen Backsplash
While not everyone has the budget for a custom bathroom renovation project, there are many glass tile home improvement projects that require a very small budget to complete. Installing a kitchen backsplash is a very budget friendly glass tile project and can easily be installed by just about anyone. Buy a tile mosaic and insert it into your backsplash design or custom make your own mosaic in a tile tray for the ultimate kitchen backsplash home improvement project.

Pool Borders
Although an in-ground pool is built to last for decades, the tile that comes with it will go out of style in just a few years. The perfect remedy is to remove the old tile and replace it with glass tile. Because of glass tiles unique reflective capabilities, it reflects and refracts light from the water, creating a dancing display of color and light that can breathe new life into any outdated pool area.

Foyer/Entry Floor Medallion
Enhance your entryway or foyer with a floor medallion using glass tile. Using glass tile on the floor can be done by adding a liquid elasticizer to the thinset and grout. Although glass tiles can get slippery when wet, expanding the grout lines further apart creates a better grip underfoot if tiles get wet.

Coffee Table
Refurbish an old coffee table (or a new one) with glass tile. Create your own custom design or use a manufactured patterned mosaic to create your own custom coffee table. If you're really handy, you can build all kinds of furniture and decorate it with glass tile. Use a custom tile tray and create your own custom mosaic for your perfect custom coffee table.

Concrete Garden Bench
A basic concrete garden bench can be bought cheaply at just about any home improvement center. But they all look the same—bland and boring. Design your own custom bench with glass tiles pieces. Simply coat the bench seat with thinset mixed with an elasticizer and insert your favorite glass tiles or mosaics and grout to finish.

Kids Step Stool
Little kids always need a little stool to hop up to the sink for washing hands and brushing teeth. Let them build their own glass tile custom kids stool. Simply add trim to sides of a cheap wooden stool, fill with thinset and let them set glass tiles in their favorite patterns. Get a huge variety of glass tiles and let them go wild!
