This collection of glass mosaics is crafted in the USA. Compared to many other glass mosaic options available today, this item is durable and - because it is also through-body glass (colored throughout - not just on the surface), it can be used for flooring. Many colors in the series are comprised of recycled content.\n

Samples are to be used as a general guide. Pattern and shade may vary.

Installation + Maintenance\nThe recommended substrate for Stature glass tiles are concrete are as follows: concrete, cured a minimum of 28 days; cement mortar, cured a minimum of 7 days; drywall. Note that the use of topical anti-fracture/waterproof membranes directly behind the tile bond coat (thin-set) is not recommended when installing translucent glass tile. A complete set of installation instructions is available for download, here.\nSheet Mosaic Installation\n-\tTo initiate the bond coat, use the flat side of a trowel and firmly apply thin-set to the substrate.\n-\tTo establish the proper depth of the setting bed use a 1/4” x 1/4” square notch trowel to apply additional thin-set and comb full notches in one direction.\n-\tUse the flat side of the trowel to flatten the notches and achieve a smooth, consistent thinset setting bed.\n-\tApply mosaic sheets to the thin-set setting bed, paper side towards you, with light, even pressure. Periodically, check thin-set for skinning (slight drying). If skinning occurs, remove thin-set and reapply.\n-\tTo achieve the flattest possible surface, lightly tap the sheets with a wooden beating block and a finish hammer. To unify sheet transitions, tap from one sheet to the next.\n-\tAfter 15-30 minutes, (floors can be removed sooner) lightly wet the paper. Keep the paper wet by wiping with a damp sponge several times over a 5-10 minute period. After the paper has absorbed the water, the glue will release.\n-\tPeel the paper from the tile starting at the corner. Removing the paper while the setting material is still fresh allows for individual tile adjustment and re-inspection of color consistency.\n-\tStraighten individual mosaic tiles prior to final set with the goal of creating a consistent overall field of mosaics. To eliminate the sheet pattern, pay particular attention to the transitions between sheets.\n-\tAfter a full 24 hours (some installations may require extended cure times) use water and a nylon scrub-brush to remove residual glue from the tile. Clean rinse and towel dry.\n-\tApply grout with a rubber grout float, forcing grout into joints until full.\n-\tAllow grout to set-up (firm) and smooth finish with a damp sponge. After approximately two hours remove grout haze with a lightly damp sponge.\n-\tFor final removal of grout haze, polish with a clean, soft cloth.\nTile Installation\n-\tTo initiate the bond coat, use the flat side of a trowel and firmly apply thin-set to the substrate.\n-\tTo establish the proper depth of the setting bed, use a 1/4” x 1/4” square notch trowel to apply additional thin-set and comb full notches in one direction.\n-\tUse the flat side of the trowel to flatten the notches and achieve a smooth, consistent thinset setting bed.\n-\tThoroughly clean the back of each tile using a clean, dry cloth. Never wet the tile prior to setting.\n-\tBack-butter each tile using additional thin-set. Prior to setting translucent tile, check the face to verify 100% coverage has been achieved.\n-\tPress the tile into the fresh setting bed using, firm even pressure. Remove excess setting material from the edges and space a minimum of 1/8” between tiles and all abutting surfaces.\n-\tAfter a full 24 hours (some installations may require extended cure times) apply grout with a rubber grout float, forcing grout into joints until full.\n-\tAllow grout to set-up (firm) and smooth finish with a damp sponge. After approximately two hours remove grout haze with a lightly damp sponge.\n-\tFor final removal of grout haze, polish with a clean, soft cloth.\nMaintenance\nStature tiles should be cleaned with warm water and a lint free cloth (terry cloth). You may also utilize conventional, non-abrasive glass cleaners together with a lint free cloth. Glass cleaning should begin with wetting the glass surface with clean water or a mild soap solution to loosen dirt. Using a neutral, non-abrasive commercial window washing solution, uniformly apply the solution to the glass surface with a brush, sponge, or other non-abrasive applicator. Certain acids will damage the iridized surface of Stature glass tile. Do not allow products that contain hydrofluoric, hydrochloric, muriatic or phosphoric acid to come in direct contact with the tile. In the case of accidental contact, neutralize immediately with baking soda and water.\n
