Beach Glass
Product Information

APPLICATION
Beach Glass is 1/2" thick, making it one of the strongest mosaic materials on the market. It can be used in ANY residential or commercial location: interior or exterior, on walls, counters, floors, patios or in swimming pools. Because the surface is textured, Beach Glass is slip resistant when wet.

We designed Beach Glass as the perfect compliment to most stone, ceramic and metal tile. It matches superbly with granite, limestone, slate and marble -- as well as with our own Del Mar Ceramic and metal tile lines. Ask to see Beach Glass alongside other materials.

EASE OF USE
Beach Glass is mounted on clear tape. The tape faces up during installation, which permits your installer to see and control spacing. In addition, the tape leaves no glue residue once it is removed. For larger installations, our field tile comes in 10" x 10" sheets that are easy to handle and easy to place.

INSTALLATION
We strongly recommend that you use only white thin-set mortar with 100% latex additive. Apart from this, Beach Glass requires nothing more than standard tile installation. Simply apply the thin-set, smooth out the trowel marks (Beach Glass is translucent) and lay the tile with the tape facing up. Beach Glass can be trimmed using any wet-saw with a diamond blade. Once the thin-set has dried, peel off the tape and grout as you normally would with ceramic tile.

GROUT
Any color grout, sanded or unsanded, may be used. Be sure to check the manufacturer‚s specifications as they apply to your installation. Interestingly, the color of the grout will impart color to the glass, which allows Beach Glass to blend with any color tile or stone.

UPKEEP
Beach Glass is non-pourous. A grout sealer may be used because it will not penetrate the tile. If you desire a more transparent or "wet look" periodically apply any paste wax. Beach Glass may be cleaned with any standard floor or wall cleaner.

LIGHT
Because Beach Glass is 1/2" thick, it refracts light wondrously, giving an appearance that is soft and luminous. We strongly recommend that you light Beach Glass once it is installed to fully appreciate its beauty.
