You are here: Home > Frequently Asked Questions > Can I use glass tiles outside?
Yes. Glass tiles, like windows, work well outdoors. They are non- absorbent, and have a very high tolerance to freeze/ thaw conditions. They are also very resistant to acid rain and the fading caused by ultra violet rays and chemicals. Like any glass, they should be installed away from places of violent or sharp impact.

All sizes of glass tiles may be used outdoors. Mosaics are often used in pool and fountains, where they can be shaped around the objects they cover. Large glass tile may be used in walls and floors, provided they are not exposed to high impact and meet slip resistance criteria for floors.

In all cases, proper construction methods must be observed, such as installation over stable substrates, the use of flexible thinsets, proper use of expansion joints and crack suppression membranes. Consult your manufacturer for details.
