I had to get a local dealer. I am pretty sure if you go to their website and put in a locale it will give you a list of their dealers.
Love that stuff; eye candy!!!!

kas - Oh I have a local dealer but it's $40 per sqaure foot and I have 45 sq ft of backsplash ;-( , that $1800 on backsplash, ack!

This is the tile I'm looking for, know of anything similar?

I wish I had an Expo, I only have a regular HD ;-(

That is a beautiful tile. I have to go to Expo today, so I will look for it and follow up here.

Have you looked at Susan Jablon mosaics?

She has very similar mosaic colors (and you can make custom blends), but her prices are lower than this, i think.

Also modwalls.com have nice glass tile blends.

Ouch! $32/sq ft at the Expo. Go in though, while you're in town. There are some nice displays of other companies. Some a little cheaper. Also, there is a place in Solana Beach called European Kitchen and Bath. They also have glass tiles, but are expensive as well. Good place for ideas though. There is an Expo near Solana Beach as well, so you can kill 2 birds with one stone.
Good Luck, Lisa

You are quite correct they are expensive and when we first checked them out I searched for alternatives, both other manufacturers and and a reduced price outlet for Oceanside. No luck. Bit the bullet and ordered a custom blend at $40+ per foot. Absolutely no regrets, they were Perfect and elicit many oohhs and ahhs. A bit of a tease I know, but after I attend to a few details I will post pix, the last piece of the puzzle has yet to arrive.

I also agree that Oceanside Glass is expensive, but it's so stunning. We bought at Expo, at the sale price, and it was still pricey, but as Zinnah said, well worth it. If you just stick to accents, it isn't too outrageous. We did niches in our kids' bathroom in Oceanside, and plan to use some in our kitchen backsplash, when our tiler guy ever gets around to making time for us! In the kitchen, we will combine Oceanside with subway tile from Modwalls, to keep the cost down. Here's a picture of our bathroom niche with Oceanside, and then 2 photos of what we plan for the kitchen (color doesn't reproduce well -- tiles are amber and cane colors).

I second Susan Jablon. When we did out bathroom we liked Oceanside Glass, but it was too expensive. Jablon allows you to create your own design and we pretty much nailed the OG we wanted for about half the price. She carries a wide variety of top quality glass.

we used a mosaic tile around our fireplace called sicis iridium in the color zinnia 4, which we got online after seeing it in an upscale tile store. There are some beautiful blue combinations. It's about $29/sq ft, but I think you can get it cheaper.

here's an example

I was looking for this post to add that I just saw a beautiful backsplash on the blog. Mickeynick's kitchen has beautiful Sicis tile. Thought you might want to take a look.

I did a wall and ceiling in my shower with oceanside tile glass in sandstone.It is beautiful.I looked up on their website and the nearest tile shop that sold them was 2 hours from me so I called them and asked if I could order through them directly.The answer was no ,you could only get them from there perferred dealer.I have also got some nice tile on ebay from stainless interiors and they were alot less but very nice.You might want to search ebay.Oceanside glass had a great phone support department for my tile contractor.They also have some vey different,unique combinations.

jenellecal,
I KNEW I saw this somewhere on ebay. With "best offer" sellers, you can bid below the asking price and negotiate from there. If you are ordering a quanity, I would bid around $30 a piece (square foot I assume). That's probably the best you'll do! HTH

Check out Hakatai for glass mosaics. I learned about the company here, and I know some people have used them successfully, though I don't remember who. I don't know how they compare to Oceanside, but they're inexpensive, and it would probably be worthwhile to order samples and check them out. You can create custom blends, too.

I just left International Bath and Tile in San Diego earlier this afternoon. What a fabulous place! I went in specifically to look at Walker Zanger but instead I utterly gave my heart to some Mandala tiles, an off-shoot of Oceanside Glass that was just introduced late last year. I fell in love with a gorgeous double basket weave in a deep gray glass (Silver Fox) in lengths of 3/4"x5" and 9/16"x1 5/8" in both gloss and matte finishes from the Wavelength collection, coupled with a porcelain border in a hand-rubbed matte finish.

The gal who worked with me agreed to give me a contractor's discount of 20% off, just because I asked. She knows I'm not a contractor; I figured I had nothing to lose by asking.

Here's a small pic of the design but colors come out waaaay darker than IRL (not black at all)

and the 6" high border on the bottom:

I am also planning on usinr Oceanside on my backsplash. Tessera Moroccan Desert, at least thats the pattern I'm loving this week :-) I don't have much wall to cover, so it is a manageable splurge for me.

Heres an online source for the sicis tile---I love it and plan to use some as accents. You can order individual 4x4 sets to sample the colors (there are many). Price is right, too...about 22.50/ sq. ft

We did our entire backsplash with Oceanside tile. We got them at the local Pratt and Larson, in the outlet section. We had looked at the Oceanside tiles in the retail section, and they were about $80-100/sq ft. We got really lucky and found tiles that we liked even more in the outlet section, and they had enough for our entire backsplash at $18/sq ft. They were on sale because of a manufacturing/packing error... The tiles are supposed to be irridescent, but randomly interspersed throughout the box were a sheet or two of non-irridescent tile. You can't tell if it's irridescent or not until you install the sheet and take the paper backing off, which is a huge pain in the a$$. So, they had to put the entire shipment on clearance. In 4 boxes, we only ended up with one sheet that was incorrect, and by pure luck, that sheet ended up behind the range, so you can hardly see it, so we didn't even bother ripping it out like we would have if it went somewhere more prominent.

Anyways, that was a long way of suggesting that you might try Pratt & Larson's outlet, if they have a retail location near you. Sometimes you can find great deals and discounts.

Oceanside Glass is gorgeous but expensive and I doubt you'll find a discounter.

I used just the random decorative tiles so I could get some of the effect at a more affordable price.

Sorry it doesn't look like I took pix when the job was finished but perhaps you can get the effect.

I love the Oceanside tiles too but just couldn't pay for all my bathrooms at such a high price. I found one of my bathroom tiles on sale and it was around $30 vs $60.....at half off, it's a good price but certainly not a steal!

I used to go to Oceanside Glasstile's side walk sales! They would have their material out on grouted boards, in loose pieces, and a group of very knowledgable, friendly, and helpful staff to help me with my projects. I recently learned that they stopped doing the side walk sales, and instead have opened their own studio called XS Studio! It's super great, the prices are up to 70% off of what you find in retail, the only thing is that they only have material available based on over runs and off lots. So you have to go in with a bit of an open mind and be flexible with design to make it work.

In any case the product is beautiful! And yes, I'm kind of a freak when it comes to glass tile, especially Oceanside Glasstile, agreed with previous posts, it's absolute eye candy! Here's the website for anyone that is interested!
