Notes on Material
Variation in color, shade, size, minor edge irregularities (including occasional chipped sides/edges), and surface texture (such as fissures, folds, and bubbles) are common, natural characteristics of our handmade glass tiles and should be expected.
These hand-crafted glass characteristics are the direct result of the artisan's interaction and craft with the glass medium, producing one-of-a-kind tiles intended to enhance the beauty and tone of the space.
Samples and photos are representative but may not indicate all variations of our handcrafted glass tiles.
Please review the Recommended Usage & Floor Applications charts before purchase, and see our Glass Installation Guidelines for further information.
