Description Veneto Glass Tiles are the result of centuries of expertise and artistic mastery in Venetian glass production. High quality oven strengthened glass tiles are produced in 3/8" thickness for coordination to stone and ceramic tile thickness, rounded corners, added durability and depth of color. Colors are applied to the back of each tile. Used as an accent or field, award winning (Adex Gold Metal) Veneto Glass Tiles will add colorful zest to any design. Colors Tiles are available in forty-eight standard colors. Custom colors can be produced with reasonable minimum quantity orders. There are two sample boxes, Box I and Box II. Box II contains nineteen colors, which were introduced in November, 2003. Finishes All colors are offered in two finishes: Clear, a glossy see-through surface (L Series), and Satin, a lightly textured translucent surface (LS Series). Unlike other satin finish glass tiles, Veneto Glass Tiles are not sandblasted, are not porous, and do not need to be sealed. Sizes Standard nominal (and actual) sizes are: 2"x2" (1.97"x1.97"), 2"x4" (1.97"x3.94"), 2"x6" (1.97"x5.91"), 2"x8" (1.97"x7.87"), 2"x12" (1.97"x11.81"), 3"x3" (2.95"x2.95"), 3"x6" (2.95"x5.91"), 3"x16" (2.95"x15.75"), 4"x4" (3.94"x3.94"), 6"x6" (5.91"x5.91"), 6"x12" (5.91"x11.81"), 8"x8" (7.87"x7.87"), 8"x16" (7.87"x15.75"), 10"x10" (9.84"x9.84"), 12"x12" (11.81"x11.81"), 12"x16" (11.81"x15.75"), and 16"x16" (15.75"x15.75"). In addition, 1"x1" (0.99"x0.99"), 1"x2" (0.99"x1.97") and 1"x8" (0.99"x7.87") are offered as accents. The 1"x1", 1"x2", 1"x8" and 2"x2" tiles are offered with a mesh backing or loose upon request. The tile thickness is 3/8". Shapes There are eight molding shapes, offered in all colors, in clear and sandblasted finishes, except for profile 'D', which is only offered in sandblasted. See the molding profiles at the bottom of this page. Expect color variations between field tiles and mouldings of the same color code. Tiles can be ordered factory cut to practically any shape, including cutouts for receptacle covers. Edges The standard edge has a slightly irregular handcrafted appearance. Square edge tiles are also available in 1.57" thickness (4mm) in all colors, and in 1"x1", 2"x2", 4"x4", 6"x6" and 8"x8" sizes. Applications Veneto Glass Tiles are recommended for interior and exterior walls. In addition, satin finish tiles are suitable as interior floor tiles, and exceed ASTM minimum requirements for breaking strength (ASTM C648: 872 lbs.) and slip resistance (ASTM C1028: dry - 0.66; wet - 0.62). Other applications include column cladding, countertops, furniture, bar fronts, swimming pools and numerous other uses. 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 1/8". For 1/8" 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. Follow manufacturer's installation instructions. Latricrete offers a ten year Labor and Material Warranty upon adherence to the above recommendations. 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. |
