Description Floor Glass is a series of Glacier Glass Tiles, designed specifically for flooring aplications. Tiles are offered with various surface applications resulting in an elegant, colorful, translucent, contemporary look. Colors & Finishes Floor Glass is offered in all Glacier colors. Finishes include Matte, Brushed, Carven Trinity, Carven Square, Carven Round, and Carven Crescent. The Matte and Brushed finishes have a frosted appearance while the other finishes are textured patterns on a clear, glossy surface. The textured patterns can be produced in different colors than the tile body (minimum quantity requirements). Custom patterns can also be developed. Sizes Standard nominal (and actual) sizes are: 18"x18" (18"x18"), 16"x16" (15.75"x15.75"), 12"x12" (11.81"x11.81"), and 8"x8" (7.87"x7.87"). All tiles have a thickness of 1/2" (0.47"). Applications Floor Glass is suitable for residential and commercial interior floors. Click here to see installation images. Installation Underlayment should be either fully cured concrete or properly installed cement backerboard, and must be dry, stable, flat and free of foreign substances, with no risk of water seepage. Recommended adhesive is white colored Laticrete 4237 Latex Thin-Set Mortar Adhesive, used with Laticrete 211 Crete Filler Powder, or Laticrete 254 Platinum Thin-Set, mixed with water. Apply a thin layer of adhesive, spreading the adhesive smoothly in order to enable it to dry evenly. Back-butter each tile to ensure full coverage with adhesive. Do not use a jagged edge applicator. Existing joints in subsurface must be carried through tile work. Expansion joints should be installed at all "changes of plane" and where tile abuts restraining surfaces. Recommended grout joint width is at least 1/16". For 1/16" joints, grout with un-sanded grout, Laticrete 1600 series. For joints larger than 1/8", use sanded grout, Laticrete 1500 series or SpectraLock Pro. Silicone caulking sealant must be installed in all corner joints in the place of grout. Cutting Tiles Use a standard new, sharp blade suitable for cutting glass tiles, which must be constantly kept wet with water. Cutting the pieces with the colored surface turned upwards and taping both sides will reduce chipping. Cutting must not be carried out near the edges of the individual pieces. Smooth off any sharp edges with sandpaper. Holes can be made with a specific drill bit for glass with a diameter up to 5/16". Apply water continually while drilling. |
