This is a snapshot of the state of the bathroom at the warehouse bathroom before we renovated it using Giorbello Glass Tiles. As you can see, the floor was bare concrete, the wall needed repairs, and there is a nasty, rusted pipe exposed in the corner of the room. A true mess that doesn’t impress our customers or our staff. All that’s about to change though…

After a few days of installing, grouting, and caulking the glass tiles, we have a brand new bathroom! Now, customers can see firsthand how beautiful glass tiles are after installation.

Two tiles were used for this project. The glass/stone blend installed on the floor, vertical strip behind the sink, and the horizontal border is “Rome” of the Giorbello Glacier Mountain product line. The solid white tile is “Shell White” of the Giorbello Cristezzá Select product line. Both glass tiles are 8 mm thick; therefore, they are suitable for use on floors as well as walls.

In 1904, the widespread use of the interlocking pattern of rectangles popularly known as “Subway Tile” first appeared throughout the tunnels of the newly opened New York City Subway system. Although the highly detailed and varied murals that lined the walls of the subway tunnels had served as travelers’ landmarks to tourists and native New Yorkers alike, it is the brick pattern of ceramic subway tiles that has been most influential on the tile decorating world. This simple yet elegant design element was originally expressed using ceramic tiles in the New York Subway, but recently the use of glass subway tiles has gained popularity. Home improvement shows on television, such as, “This Old House,” have contributed to the growing use of glass tile by highlighting their dazzling beauty. While the roots of subway tile lie in ceramic, glass is quickly becoming the material of choice.

Over the past decade there has been a transition in tastes from ceramic to glass subway tile which is driven primarily by the unique advantages of glass as a building material. Visually, glass offers a depth and clarity that is unmatched by even the most finely glazed ceramic tiles. The brilliant colors that shine through glass tiles contrast sharply with the dull, muted tones of ceramic alternatives. Secondly, glass is impervious to moisture making them an ideal material for high moisture areas such as bathrooms. Luckily for homeowners, new manufacturing techniques have made glass subway tile available as a durable surface option while enhancing its unique beauty.

Glass subway tiles are an excellent choice in all sorts of applications. They are able to be used indoors or outdoors, in bathrooms, kitchens, and even swimming pools. They make a great addition to the ambiance of any space in which they’re used. Whether it’s your kitchen backsplash or your shower walls, incorporating glass subway tile into your home improvement project will endow your space with a trendy vibe while echoing classic designs of the past. Because of their classic appearance, you won’t need to worry about them appearing dated ten years from now. Subway tiles have, and will maintain, a traditional appeal while remaining contemporary at the same time.

Installing subway tile is a fashionable choice for your bathroom or kitchen construction and renovation projects. Designers are now combining the vivid colors of glass with the traditional design of ceramic subway tiles to create a new modern alternative to ceramic subway tiles. These new designs are being featured in many high-end houses and commercial buildings, but that doesn’t mean that glass subway tiles aren’t affordable to the average homeowner who seeks to transform their home into a showcase.

Many brands of glass subway tile are available on the market nowadays, but the finest colors and quality are only available from Giorbello. Their Cristezzá Glass Subway Tiles are made available as loose, 3″ x 6″ pieces so as to not limit a designer’s creative vision. Also, ordering by the piece offers the flexibility to purchase only as many tiles as you need without wasting money. Like all glass subway tiles, they look stunning whether they are installed in an inline or brick pattern. However, the eye-catching depth and shadow of their subway tiles sets Giorbello apart from their competitors.

For the month of June, Wholesalers USA will be offering a 15% discount on their gorgeous line of Giorbello Cristezzá Subway Tiles. This deal will only last until June 30th, so order your samples today! Click here to explore our selection of premium, glass subway tiles.
