Glass Subway Tiles

last year

Has anyone installed glass tiles in a shower (walls)? Pros and cons? Do they show water marks? Easy or hard to clean? If you could go back in time, would you do it again?

I would love to see photos! Here is my inspiration photo. This is for a funky walk in shower that will require tile on the ceiling due to angles. I’m thinking the glass would lighten up the space.

Showing water marks will depend on the color of the tile and water quality.

I had white glass tile in one of my secondary baths and we didn't have any problems with it. It was used by a teen boy and I had a weekly cleaning service.

I too couldn’t find photos of glass tile with gray grout. All the photos I found had white grout. To add to my dilemma, the glass tile is textured. I’m currently renovating our bathroom and my designer suggested it. I’m not sure about it.

Don't get a dark / contrasting grout - it will show ever imperfection in the laying / grouting of the tile.
