Neo Glass is a rustic cast glass which is colored throughout and may
contain irregularities including bubbles and folds. These characteristics add
personality and depth to the final installation. Since the tile is translucent,
back-buttering with white thinset is a requirement.

Glass
tile can be divided into two basic categories: Cast and Fused. Cast glass is
a solid product that consists of a hot liquid that is poured and then cooled.
The color is either applied to the back of the tile or within the glass itself. Fused glass is a layered
product that literally “sandwiches” different pieces of glass together. It is then heated, or fused
together to create one unit.
Due to the hand-made nature of many glass tiles, there will be a certain amount of variation in color,
size, shade, tone and texture. Frequently, you may notice bubbles, wrinkles and folds in the tile;
these are consistent with all glass products.
Substrates & Setting Materials
Glass tile can be specified for most tile applications. While most are for wall use only, some are
suitable for light floor usage or underwater installations. Consult individual product guides to verify
suitability for your specific installation location.
Glass tile has a wide range of properties requiring the use of the most stable substrates and specifically
recommended setting materials. The potential for high expansion and contraction requires the
installation of expansion/movement joints per TCA’s EJ171-05 (unless otherwise noted). Suitable
substrates include well-cured mortar beds, cementitious backer boards, concrete slabs and gypsum
board. Caution: Directly bonding glass tile to wood substrates is NOT recommended. Some
products may require the installation of a crack isolation membrane. Consult your manufacturer’s
recommendations if in doubt.
Appropriate setting materials include white latex modified thin sets such as Premium Plus Thin-Set
Mortar mixed with Custom Flex Ultra-Strength Latex Additive, Non Sag Mortar mixed with Custom
Flex Ultra-Strength Latex Additive, Super Flex Premium Latex Modified Thin-Set and Full Set Plus
Premium Thin-Set Mortar mixed with Extra Flex Ultra-Strength Latex Additive.
It is strongly recommended that organic adhesives NOT be used in installation of glass tiles as they
can yellow and their bonding strength is weaker. Epoxy is NOT recommended either since it is not
flexible enough and may change color in ultra violet light.
Installation & Cutting
Inspect products before installation for any visible defect and/or other aspects that may be
questionable (chipped edges, scratched surfaces, etc.) Installation of products constitutes
acceptance of the product and no claims will be honored after installation.
The following are some installation notes and guidelines:
• Some products are “face” mounted. Be sure to verify which side to install prior to laying the
tile, as the two surfaces may appear similar.
• Use a 3/16” x 1/4” notched trowel for even coverage. Back butter all glass tiles with a thin
layer of the mortar to avoid seeing trowel marks and air pockets, as well as to ensure full
contact. Do not exceed the recommended mortar thickness, as excessive shrinkage can
occur as it cures which may result in cracked tile.
• Work in small areas of 4 to 6 square feet that can be accomplished in 15-20 minutes. This
ensures the mortar remains fresh.
• Cuts can be made with a wet saw and a diamond-rimmed blade designed to cut glass tiles.
Always wear eye protection when cutting, drilling or grinding glass tile. Blades designed for
cutting ceramic tile are NOT to be used.
70 reference
• Any cuts should be smoothed and dulled with a rub stone to avoid sharp edges.
• If holes need to be drilled, do so before installing the tile. Drill from both sides to help reduce
chips and cracks. A new diamond-tipped core bit with a low speed drill will give the best
results.
• Glass tile is non-absorbent. The moisture in the setting materials cannot migrate into the glass,
it must evaporate slowly through the grout joints. This process requires a longer cure time. The
installation should dry a minimum of 36 to 48 hours before grouting.
Grouting
• Prior to grouting, the tile surface should be cleaned of any residue with warm soapy water and
a sponge or nylon bristle brush.
• Use standard polymer modified sanded or non-sanded grout depending on the product
installed and joint size. Be careful with sanded grout as it may scratch the surface of some
glass tile. Glass tiles can be face taped to protect the surface from scratching.
• White grout is generally the preferred color as it creates the greatest clarity and reflectivity of
glass. Remember that glass is transparent and the color of the grouting materials will be visible
from the edges of the tile.
• 48 hours after grouting, clean and polish the glass using cheese cloth and a non-acidic grout
cleaner. Some grout cleaners may change the grout color, so test first.
• Although glass tile does not require a sealer, grout may be sealed with an appropriate grout
sealer.
• Underwater installations should cure 3 to 4 weeks after grouting prior to filling with water. Not
all glass tile is suitable for underwater installations.
Care & Maintenance
Wiping the glass surface with a damp sponge or cloth is usually sufficient. When stronger cleaning
is needed, glass tile may be cleaned with any non-abrasive floor, wall or glass cleaner applied with a
damp cloth or sponge. Residue from “hard water” can be removed with specific cleaners; however,
these cleaners may affect colored grouts and a test should be made first in an inconspicuous place.
Please see the Mosaic Tile Company Glass Tile Care & Maintenance Guide for more information.
NOTE: The preceding instructions are meant to be a general
guide to most installations under normal conditions. Please read
and understand this information before installation. If you have no
specific experience with the installation of glass products, or if you
have any doubt about the installation, use and/or care of glass tile
products, obtain professional installation and advice.
