Glass Tile Store Mariska Glass Tiles
Wood stained to enhance their natural grains remains one of the favorite materials for assembling kitchen cupboards. This is because of their warmth and natural look. However, they are not the best materials in areas where they can be frequently exposed to moisture, such as the sink backsplash. You want a moisture-resistant backsplash, such as glass tiles. And if you want one that matches your wood cupboards, check out the Glass Tile Store Mariska Glass Tiles.
The Mariska is made of 225 pieces of tiles arranged in 15 columns and 15 rows, each measuring ¾” x ¾”. The tiles come in two colors, dark burgundy and dark gold, which are arranged in no particular pattern. With such colors, the tiles blend seamlessly and perfectly in a kitchen that also features cabinets, counters, cupboards, or worktops made of stained wood, whether oak, maple, cherry, teak, or mahogany.
The colors are painted on the back of the tiles so they will not be scratched or chipped once they are installed on the substrate. With the translucent nature of the glass tiles, the colors appear deep and luminescent especially when light reflects on them.
With a thickness of 5 mm, the tiles are substantial enough to use on kitchen floors provided foot traffic is light. For the kitchen sink backsplash and walls, it is more than strong. As they are impenetrable to water, they are easy to clean and are resistant to staining.
The Mariska Glass Tiles are mounted on a mesh backing to make installing them convenient. Each mesh measures 13″ x 13″. Care must be exercised in their installation. The substrate must be flat and free of dirt and chemicals, otherwise the tiles can crack or fall off. In order not to affect the color of the tiles, use a white modified thinset or a regular tile wall for gluing.
When installed properly, the Glass Tile Store Mariska Glass Tiles can last a lifetime so you can enjoy the perfect blending of wood and glass in your kitchen for years to come.
