Glass mosaic tiles are generally suitable for vertical planes, such as kitchen backsplashes, and for horizontal surfaces in the kitchen with minimal use, such as countertops and tabletops. It is not recommended to use such mosaics for kitchen floors, as they are slippery. Using glass tile on the floor with nominal use can be done successfully if you are using smaller tiles. The high ratio of grout to glass reduces the overall slipperiness of the floor and therefore makes it safe.

Tools

With proper care, your glass cutter’s wheel-shaped blades will remain sharp and useful even after a period of use. If necessary, replacement blades can be purchased.
