Glass Tiles

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document discusses the Glassworks collection of glass tiles, emphasizing their versatility, aesthetic appeal, and practical applications. It highlights the importance of viewing actual samples due to potential color variations in printed materials.

Specifications: The collection includes tiles in various sizes and finishes, such as clear and frosted, ranging from 48x48mm to 398x198mm with thicknesses of 5mm and 10mm. Each tile is handmade, leading to slight variations in size and shade.

Design and Application: Suitable for both traditional and modern settings, these tiles offer design flexibility and can be combined with stone, ceramics, or mosaics. Larger tiles are recommended for extensive areas, while smaller tiles suit intricate designs.

Installation Recommendations: Due to their handmade nature, dry laying tiles before installation is advised to achieve desired shade distribution. A 5% allowance for cutting and wastage is recommended. Note that 5mm and 10mm tiles may differ in tone due to density variations.

Key Considerations: Consulting with suppliers for samples is crucial for accurate color representation. The document encourages creative design with a wide palette of colors available for customization.

Handling and Safety Precautions: Careful handling is required, especially when cutting or if broken. Avoid contact with sharp objects and use protective gear during cutting. These tiles are not recommended for exterior use.

Installation Guidelines: Follow specific installation requirements for glass tiles, referring to the Glassworks Installation Guidelines in the UK or ANSI specifications in the USA. Ensure even adhesive application to prevent visibility through transparent tiles.

Grouting Recommendations: Use the correct grout as per manufacturer instructions, avoiding colored grouts unless approved for glass tiles. Recommended grout space is 2mm for plain and mosaic glass, and 2-3mm for decorative glass.

Specific Tile Considerations: Equinox tiles have color variations; avoid slurry grouting. Iridescent Drop-in tiles require thicker grout to prevent leaching. Test for desired reflectivity before fixing.

Cleaning and Maintenance: Clean with water or glass cleaner using a soft cloth to prevent scratching. Avoid using on countertops and install at least 3cm away from heat sources.

Photography and Color Variations: Tile colors may vary due to lighting and printing. Always view samples before purchasing.

Liability and Warranty: Original Style is not liable for faulty installation. Liability is limited to the product purchase price. Tiles are warranted to conform to their description and purpose, but no guarantees are made regarding wear resistance or maintenance.
