Bring Your Space to Life With Glass Wall Tiles
From sophisticated neutrals to vibrant, bold colors, glass wall tiles will reflect your personality and add interest to your home. Glass wall tiles are available in a myriad of styles—from classic subway shapes to hexagon mosaics, and stunning shimmer finishes to realistic wood-look tiles—that not only look great, but are durable and easy to clean, too.
Choosing wall tile means not having to consider things like hardness ratings or holding up to foot traffic, so you can really home in on expressing your individual style. In other words, finding the “best glass wall tile” is about whatever you like best. (Of course, having so many beautiful options means having more choices to narrow down, but that’s where we come in!) Here are some of our customers’ favorite ways to use glass wall tiles:
Make a Statement With Large Glass Tiles for Walls
For a truly memorable space, play with proportion. One of our boldest options is the oversize 8x20-inch mirrored wall tiles from our exclusive collection with designer Kelli Fontana, but even something more traditional—like a solid-colored subway shape—can feel unexpected when it’s scaled up to 3x12 inches.
Create Your Sanctuary With a Glass Tile Shower Wall
There are so many ways to create a beautiful bathroom (and we have ideas, if you need any!), but selecting glass wall tiles for your bathroom is always an excellent choice. As a non-porous material, it offers the performance you need in a humid environment without any aesthetic sacrifices, so you can keep enjoying your space for years to come. So when it comes to your shower, maximize its potential for spa-like relaxation with glass tile shower walls, complete with functional (and stylish) recessed shower wall niches for storing your favorite bath products, and matching trim and accessories to complete the look of your personal retreat.
Install a Backsplash That Makes a Splash
Whether your dream kitchen leans toward classic and understated or bold and luxurious, glass wall tiles can bring that look to life, while holding up beautifully through years of cooking. Glass tile naturally resists staining, making it easy to clean so your gorgeous new kitchen will keep looking like new. We offer hundreds of options, so you're guaranteed to find the perfect color, pattern, shape and finish that will complete your kitchen design.
