With different techniques, the glass mosaic tile will present a different kind of grace and elegance under different effects.

DONT apply glass mosaic tiles (like swimming pool mosaics) to the ground, because glass mosaic tiles have sharp edges. If they are installed improperly or broken, people are easy to hurt; and their surface is easy to scratch, and the decorative effect will be greatly reduced. Ceramic mosaic tiles that made of non-glass materials are easy to absorb water, crack or catch dust in damp places, so when applied in damp places, protective paint should be sprayed as much as possible.
