Glass Subway Tile Collection: Finishes

Apollo Tile’s glass subway tile collection is available in three finishes, viz. glossy, matte, and textured. Each of these finishes has its own distinct style, personality, and effect.

Glossy Glass Subway Tile

Tiles with a glossy finish are one of the most popular choices, especially for bathroom and kitchen walls. A glass subway tile backsplash works well in kitchens, bars, and behind vanities as it is not only beautiful but also easy to clean.

A glossy finish reflects both artificial and natural light, creating the illusion of a larger and brighter space. The reflective property also enhances the rich color and clean lines of the tiles.

Our glossy collection is perfect for a stunning coastal-style subway tile backsplash, a contemporary bedroom, or a luxurious bathroom.

Matte Glass Subway Tile

Matte finish provides a more understated appearance as it absorbs light, instead of reflecting. This creates a ‘softer’ and muted look without sacrificing the inherent beauty of our glass subway tiles. This muted surface complements Scandinavian, Japandi, industrial, and minimalist spaces while reducing glare and creating a calm, sophisticated atmosphere.

Textured Glass Subway Tile

Textured subway tile is perfect for bringing in a sense of movement and visual depth to your surface. It creates a stunning, artisanal look while maintaining the crisp and clean lines of the subway form.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How to clean and maintain glass subway tiles?

Glass subway tiles are easy to maintain thanks to their smooth, non-porous surface. Simple yet regular upkeep with dusting and cleaning using gentle, pH-neutral cleaners will keep your tiles looking bright and vibrant for a long time. Avoid using any abrasive cleaners or brushes as they may dull the tile.

2. How much glass subway tile do I need for my project?

The exact number of tiles you need for a project depends on the size and location of the installation. That said, it is generally recommended to buy more than your estimate. To do this, measure the total area and add about 10%-15% extra to count for breakage, cuts, and repairs. It is better to order extra in advance to ensure consistency in color and finish.

3. What affects glass subway tile cost per square foot?

Glass subway tile cost per square foot depends on the tile size, finish, colour, manufacturing process, and installation complexity. Premium designs, speciality finishes, and larger formats may carry a higher price.

4. Can glass subway tiles be combined with other tiles?

Yes, glass subway tiles work beautifully with other materials such as marble and natural stone. They are also perfect with metal-look, wood-look, and concrete-look tiles. Glass subway tiles can be used as accents and borders to large-format tile installations to add an extra layer of elegance.

5. How to choose the perfect grout color for my glass subway tile installation?

The right color of grout depends on the effect and style you are trying to achieve with your tile installation. For instance, pairing lighter grout with lighter tiles can help you create a uniform and seamless look, while a combination of dark grout with light tiles will ensure a stunning contrast and definition. Regardless of color, it is recommended to seal grout in bathrooms, showers, kitchens, and similar rooms. Sealed grout will protect the installation against stains and moisture, keeping it fresh until the next sealing.

6. Are large glass subway tiles better than smaller tiles?

Neither is better; the right choice depends on your style. Larger pieces such as the Coin Gray 4x16 Glossy Subway Glass Tile create a clean, contemporary appearance with fewer grout lines, while smaller options like the Black 3x6 Matte Glass Subway tile offer a classic aesthetic with additional flexibility.

7. How to choose the right color of glass subway tile for a home?

Apollo Tile’s glass subway tile collection is available in a wide range of colors, including light shades such as white and beige and dark ones like blue and black. While choosing a tile color, consider the location of installation and its surroundings. For instance, if you are choosing a color for a kitchen backsplash, include the design and palette of your countertop, cabinetry, kitchen flooring, and fixtures in the equation. Additionally, account for the amount of natural light available in the room.
