Glass mosaic tiles
Glass mosaic – dazzling mosaic tiles for creative wall and floor design
Glass mosaic adds a fascinating effect to walls, niches, and, depending on the surface, even floors. Thanks to its brilliant colors, light-reflecting surface, and durable glass structure, glass mosaic is one of the most popular designer tiles for interior design. Whether mosaic tiles, tile mosaics, mirror mosaics, or wall mosaics – in this category, architects, craftsmen, hotels, and discerning private customers will find Europe's largest selection of glass mosaic tiles in 4 mm, 6 mm, and 8 mm thicknesses.
What you can expect:
✅ Large selection of high-quality glass mosaics in solid, mixed, style, and 3D designs
✅ Sustainable, environmentally friendly recycled glass mosaics
✅ Transparent glass mosaics ideal for light-filled rooms and designs
✅ Many glass mosaics perfectly suited for wet areas and creative accents
Frequently asked question:
How do I cut glass mosaics precisely without chipping the edges? Answer: Use a high-quality diamond wet cutter or special glass mosaic pliers with a fine carbide blade. First, roughly cut the mesh, then slowly guide the saw blade over the glass surface, continuously cooling with water. After cutting, smooth the edges with a fine diamond pad – this will keep the glass tiles splinter-free and the cut lines almost invisible.

Glass Mosaic – Professional FAQ & Application Tips (30 points)
No. Question Answer
1 What preliminary checks do I need to do before purchasing? Check the application label (e.g., "Wall," "Floor," "Pool"). Use the same production batch. Compare samples beforehand (color, dimensional accuracy, quality).
2 How do I properly store and acclimatize glass mosaic? Store for at least 24 hours in the installation room at 18–22°C to allow the material to acclimatize to the temperature and humidity.
3 Which adhesive is suitable for glass mosaic? White flexible adhesive or epoxy adhesive (e.g., Mapei Kerapoxy). Always make sure the adhesive is "suitable for glass mosaic."
4 How do I choose the right notched trowel size? 3×3mm for 4mm mosaic, 4×4mm for 6–8mm. Test for full adhesive coverage.
5 How do I start installation? Mark the center or alignment lines, lay it out dry, and trim if necessary. Apply the adhesive to a small area. Insert the mat, press it down, and tap it flat.
6 How do I correctly remove the paper front adhesive? After 10–20 minutes, soak it with a damp sponge, peel off the paper, and realign the tiles if necessary.
7 Which grout is optimal? Epoxy resin grout (chemical and dirt-resistant), available in transparent or color-coordinated versions.
8 Which grout color should I choose? Tone-on-tone = calm, contrast = vibrant. Always test on a sample tile first.
9 Can I install glass mosaic on old tiles? Yes, if the old flooring is sound and cleaned, using a special primer and a suitable flexible adhesive.
10 Is glass mosaic suitable for floors? Yes – if approved for floor use (e.g., 8 mm, R10-rated). Ideal for showers, spas, and floor accents.
11 How do I cut glass mosaic properly? Individual tiles with mosaic pliers, mats with an angle grinder (diamond disc) or a wet cutter. Break off edges.
12 How do I deal with loose tiles? Fix them to the mesh with superglue before installation. After installation, apply epoxy adhesive in specific spots.
13 How do I remove excess grout? Remove diagonally with a hard rubber scraper, and clean with a sponge after drying. For epoxy, use a special cleaner.
14 How do I clean glass mosaic? With glass cleaner or a pH-neutral bathroom cleaner, and a soft cloth. No abrasives or harsh chemicals.
15 Does glass mosaic require waterproofing? No. Glass is non-porous. Exception: mixed flooring with natural stone.
16 Do you ship to Switzerland/EU-wide? Yes. Shipping to all EU countries, including Switzerland, with full customs clearance.
17 Warranty and complaint conditions? Only submit a complaint before installation. Installed goods are considered accepted. No liability for improper installation.
18 Professional tip for 3D or luster mosaics? Tilt or rotate the mats slightly to adjust the light flow and visually conceal grid lines.
19 Which primer should I use on critical substrates? Plasterboard: Quartz sand primer
Metal: 2-component reactive primer
Wood: Decoupling board + flexible adhesive
20 How do I prevent hollow spots under the mosaic? Press the mat down with a rubber roller. If you hear a "click-click" sound, adjust the area or press down again.
21 Do I need expansion joints? Yes – at all transitions (e.g., wall-to-wall, wall-to-floor) and for areas >3m². Apply elastic silicone.
22 When can I use freshly grouted surfaces again? Epoxy: Walkable after 12–24 hours, fully load-bearing after 5–7 days (pool filling only after that).
23 Can I use glass mosaic outdoors? Yes – if it's certified frost-resistant. Substrate with a slope of >2%, a water-bearing layer underneath (DIN 18531).
24 What protective equipment is recommended? Safety goggles, gloves, hearing protection (for cutting work), and an FFP2 mask if necessary when working with epoxy.
25 How do I permanently maintain epoxy grout? Regularly with a neutral cleaner. For limescale: citric acid diluted 1:5 (only allow it to work for a short time!).
26 What tools do professionals recommend? 4×4 stainless steel notched trowel, diamond wet cutter, rubber roller, hard rubber float, rubber joint filler for epoxy.
27 Mesh vs. paper bonding – advantages? Mesh (back): simple, universal. Paper (front): ideal for pools and curves – invisible installation.
28 How do I install mixed flooring (glass/natural stone) without staining? Impregnate the natural stone, use white adhesive & epoxy grout, mix the cardboard, and remove any grout residue immediately.
