Making Your Kitchen Look Stylish With Glass Backsplashes

Kitchen tile is a common backsplash material, but it doesn’t have to be ceramic. A glass backsplash is another tiled option that’s been growing in popularity lately. One reason is because it’s so versatile and is suitable in both modern and classic environments. Here’s a look at what it means to consider glass.

 

Do You Want Tiles or Not?

A glass backsplash can actually be all one piece, similar to using marble or granite. This reduces the need for cleaning out grout and makes for a seamless appearance. That’s not to say glass tiles are bad, they can also be a great addition to your kitchen. Whether used on their own or as accent pieces in subway tile, glass tiles are an elegant option for your kitchen.

 

How Much Maintenance Can You Do?

Glass is quite low maintenance when compared to other materials. It’s easy to clean and doesn’t get stained. They are also heat resistant, so warping is not a concern. Treat glass like you would a window; use a lint-free cloth and some glass cleaner and you’re all set. A backsplash that doesn’t require you to spend extra time cleaning and caring for it is great for an already busy household.

 

What Other Uses Does Glass Have?

Glass is reflective, which serves two main purposes in the kitchen. For one, if you have lights under your cabinets, a glass backsplash can reflect that and increase the lighting in your kitchen. For another, it can reflect the look of your countertops, making them stand out more. This reflective property is hard to get with other materials.

 

Choosing kitchen tile made of glass over other materials is an easy choice; there’s less maintenance and it looks great. If you’re tile-shy, a single sheet of glass is also an option and makes your kitchen feel spacious. Look at your current backsplash and ask yourself: would it look better in glass?
