Frequently Asked Questions | Tile Buyer Guide

Want more information on ceramic pool mosaic tiles factory? Feel free to contact us.

I have been using Melcer Tile for many years but I have to pause to give credit where credit is due. As an interior designer, I am rather self-sufficient most of the time. However, there are instances when I rely on experts to elevate a project from just average to outstanding. I would be remiss if I did not highlight the exceptional contributions of two Melcer employees - Dawn & Jennifer. These professionals always go the extra mile, keeping me balanced with their sharp attention to detail, sensitivity to client needs, timely responses, and overall professionalism. At one point, Dawn seamlessly took over a complicated client order from Jennifer without missing a beat. Their dedication is evident and appreciated, at least by me. If Dawn & Jennifer reflect the caliber of your entire staff, you should be very proud of your operation. Thank you!

Question: Glass Mosaic Tile. The Good and the Bad?

Paper faced is definitely the way to go. You should also ask your builder if they will install with a moisture barrier. Glass manufacturers "highly" recommend or even require a moisture barrier for warranty purposes. My opinion on glass tile issues, like popping off, is often due to installation without a moisture barrier in high freeze/thaw areas. Water behind the tile freezes and causes it to pop off. I installed mine with hydroban and have had 0.0 tiles pop off in 1.5 years.

#1 - In the Spa, they say that some glass mosaic can be sharp on the edges. So if you are sliding your posterior over a seat or wall corner, it's possible you could encounter a sharp edge more easily than with ceramic.

Not an issue for us ... no damaged posteriors.

#2 - Glass tiles are more fragile to breakage from dropping something on them and again, they can create a cutting hazard if that happens.

No issue for us.

#3 - Glass tile may be more difficult to maintain than ceramic, specifically in areas prone to hard water staining, like an overflow spa if it is not run 7x24. Is ceramic easier to maintain?

Not a problem here ... but can't comment on the hard water issue as we do not have hard water.

#4 - And this is my own question related to small mosaic patterns rather than just glass specifically. Is a 1x1 or even .75x.75 mosaic on the waterline more difficult to maintain from a scrubbing perspective? Is the extra grout an issue when compared to larger traditional waterline tile?

Sorry, can't offer much help here ... no stains at 1.5 yrs. Grout lines are very thin on 1x1.

#1 reason for going with glass tile ... it's gorgeous!
#1 reason for not going with glass tile ... it's expensive!
