Durable, water resistant and easy to wipe clean, glass mosaics are a smart installation in bathrooms, kitchens and even your swimming pool area. Adding a glass mosaic design is a great opportunity to let your creativity shine.

Shape & Size
In addition to shapes like rectangular, square and penny round, we offer dozens of mosaic tile pattern styles, like chevron, Amalfi, Stria, Athens and Cardine, that can turn your backsplash or walls into a work of art. Popular sizes of individual mosaic tiles include half-inch and 1” x 1” square tiles as well as 1” x 2” and 1” x 4” rectangles. Most of these mosaics are on a 12” x 12” fiberglass mesh sheet for easy installation.
