Both companies have a large range of tiles. You would probably get a better deal from Glass Tile Oasis and i think they have more of a selection as well. Good luck and hope you find what you need. Here is a link that might be useful: glass tile oasis

Hi, This is not a great picture online (the magazine has a closer view)but this backsplash is one of my inspirations. They have the smaller 1x1 glass tiles as a band, then a thin pecil molding and then the subway tiles. I'm doing the same pattern but instead of 1x1 tiles, I'm using rhomboid shape combination of glass, stone and metal mosaic from Sonoma tilemakers. The field will be subway tiles as well... Just an idea how you can incorporate both tiles...HTH By the way, I just found this website and has beautiful kitchens for inspiration...

annanna - can't wait to see the AKDO tiles in your kitchen!!! momto3girls - thanks for posting the link. It was not that thread that I was thinking about, but it looks like the poster in this thread had a similar issue. I wish he/she posted close-up photos!! The tiles looked really nice! klutterkara - I love your tiles. I remember reading your post when you first shared the pictures. Thanks so much for posting again. How did you finish the exposed ends? Do you have any pictures to share? lynda_baker - thanks for the link. I looked through the thread and saw one picture that looked like it had Bianco Romano on it. Nice backsplash! It looked like gray ceramic tile, though. Do you think it is glass? (I hope we are talking about the same picture)

Oh man. Was this his first time using glass tile?? He should have sealed the grout only (glass is non-porous) with an appropriate applicator. It's time consuming to do it properly, but this is why you (or the people you hire) don't (shouldn't) cut corners. There is one non-toxic product that might help. He can (and I mean he, not you) try this stuff, made to scrub off sealer from tile. I don't know whether it will work, but I hope so. Removing glass tile is not easy (ask me how I know - better yet, ask me about the surgery I had on my right hand to remove a shard of glass that lodged in my tendon). If it does work, he will then have to seal the grout correctly. Good luck! Here is a link that might be useful: AquaMix
