Black Glass Tile: For Sophisticated Walls & Floors

Apollo Tile’s black glass tile range brings depth, drama, and elegance to walls, floors, feature areas, and more. These bold black tiles are available in two finishes and several formats, including hexagon, herringbone, and brick. This versatility ensures that the collection works equally well in contemporary styles and traditional designs.

From a black glass tile backsplash to a chic tiled floor, these glass tiles can bring bold contrast and sophistication.

Shapes, Finishes, & Other Features

Beyond the striking color, our black tiles are available in a broad selection of shapes, sizes, and finishes. Each combination of these features gives the tiles a distinct aesthetic character.

To cater to different decorative styles, the tiles are available in both classic and designer shapes. Simple yet elegant options include square, brick, and mosaic tiles, while the designer range comprises herringbone, hexagonal, penny round, and multi-shaped tiles.

While the popular 12x12 tiles make up the majority of the black glass tile collection, it also includes other sizes such as 3x6, 3x12, 4x16, 11x13, and 11x11.

Another element that adds to the beauty of the glass tiles is the finish. Our tiles are available in two popular finishes – glossy and matte. While a glossy finish adds to the reflectivity of glass, a matte surface provides a more understated yet rich look.

Applications for Black Glass Tiles

Black tiles are not only ideal for striking design features but can also serve as practical surfaces for everyday spaces. The deep color creates a refined contrast while the glass material reflects light, adding depth and movement to the tiled surface.

  • Kitchens: A black glass tile backsplash can give an industrial-style kitchen a dramatic focal point that ties all the other elements together. For instance, our Black 3x12 Glossy Glass subway tile creates a clean, structured, and refined backsplash when laid horizontally. The same tile can create completely different looks when installed in a stacked or vertical layout. Either way, the tile pairs well with stainless-steel fixtures, appliances, and light-toned cabinetry. Beyond backsplashes, black tiles can also be used on kitchen walls and floors.
  • Bathrooms & Showers: From shower walls to vanities to bathroom floors and even bathtub surrounds, black tiles can add to the beauty of almost any area of a bathroom. The rich black tone of our Black 12x12 Glossy Square Glass Mosaic Tile works particularly well with the gray-white Carrara marble floors, bathtubs, and vanities.
  • Living Spaces: In living rooms, bedrooms, foyers, and other spaces, black tiles are perfect for creating one-of-a-kind surfaces. Suitable for both floors and walls, the tiles bring a distinct gravitas that evokes subtle grandeur. Exquisite yet inviting, this black glass mosaic tile will make your floors look intentional and refined.
  • Accent Features & Fireplaces: Use black tiles to create memorable fireplace surrounds and remarkable feature walls. The Black 4x16 Glossy Subway Glass Tile is an excellent choice for a sleek and contemporary fireplace, creating a bold, eye-catching contrast.
  • Pools & Waterline Areas: Selected products in the collection are also suitable for pools, spas, steam rooms, and decorative water features. The Black White 12x12 Glossy Uniform Square Glass Mosaic Tile, for instance, can be used as a distinctive accent alongside blue pool tiles or as a full-coverage option for a more personalized and dazzling look
  • Patios & Outdoor Areas: Beyond the usual applications, these black beauties can also be used to create exciting outdoor spaces. Classic applications include patios, outdoor kitchens, mudrooms, entryways, and gardens.
  • Commercial & Hospitality Spaces: The collection features commercial tiles suitable for offices, restaurants, hotels, lobbies, halls, bars, and more. Use the Black 11x11 Glossy Matte Multi-shaped Glass Mosaic Tile behind a reception desk, as a refined bar backsplash, or as a full-length feature wall; its multi-shaped pattern will add an unprecedented level of character to the surface.

Black Glass Tiles with Other Materials

Black, though bold, is also a naturally versatile shade that pairs readily with other materials, finishes, textures, and colors. Natural wood and wood-look tiles soften the intensity of black, making them ideal for creating a balanced design in traditional interiors. For added definition and drama, pair the black pieces with natural stone options or neutral marble wall tiles.

Beyond colors, mixing textures, shapes, and finishes can also add interest. Glossy black options can be paired with naturally matte surfaces like concrete or natural stone to bring contrast through texture. Designer layouts such as the Black 12x12 Glossy Penny Round Glass Mosaic Tile can be used to create visual separation in open-concept interiors.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do I clean and maintain a black glass tile installation?

Keeping glass tiles clean is relatively easy. Use a soft cloth, sponge, or nonabrasive mop with a mild, pH-neutral cleaner to remove dust, splashes, and everyday residue. Remember, water spots and residue are more visible on dark surfaces, so regular cleaning is necessary, especially for kitchen backsplashes and bathroom installations.

2. Are black glass tiles suitable for DIY installations?

Some pieces from the black glass collection are available in the ‘mesh-mount’ format, which makes them easy to transport, cut, and install. DIYers can try their hand at straightforward installations such as small decorative accents and wall features. For other formats and complex projects, professional installation is highly recommended.

3. What interior styles work well with a black glass tile?

Black is a versatile shade and works well with contemporary, industrial, rustic-modern, urban contemporary, and even traditional interiors. When choosing tiles for any interior style, always consider the aesthetics of the tile and the surrounding design elements.

4. What affects black glass tile cost per square foot?

Black glass tile cost per square foot can depend on its size, shape, finish, pattern, and overall design. Installation requirements, grout, and other project materials can also affect the total cost of the finished installation.

5. How should black tile be selected for a specific application?

Choose black tile based on the intended application and the product’s specifications. Different tiles in the black glass collection may be designed for different uses, so reviewing the product details can help you select the right option for fireplaces, exteriors, pools, high-traffic floors, steam rooms, and other applications.

6. How much black glass tile should I buy for my project?

Measure the length and width of each area to calculate the total square footage, then check your selected tile’s coverage to determine the number of pieces or sheets needed. Add about 10% extra material for cuts, breakage, and future replacements, allowing more for complex layouts or patterns.
