INSTALL GLASS TILE WITH CONFIDENCE!
Glass tile can be absolutely stunning—but it also comes with its own set of challenges. From thermal expansion to substrate movement, it’s critical to use the right adhesive to avoid costly failures like cracking, buckling, or shading.
Here’s how to do it right:
✅ Use a thin-set specifically formulated for glass
✅ Avoid standard mortars—they can show trowel marks through translucent or clear glass
✅ Flatten the thin-set before setting the tile
✅ Always back-butter your tile to eliminate voids
So what’s the best product for the job?
Litoelastic EVO by Litokol®—the high-performance, highly-flexible epoxy adhesive that’s built to handle glass tile like a pro. Whether your mosaic is mesh-backed or paper/plastic-faced, Litoelastic EVO provides unbeatable bond strength and long-term durability.
Mesh backing? Go with a white thin-set to hide the mesh.
Paper-faced? Drizzle water lightly, wait, then adjust tiles before full set.
Plastic-faced? Snip and shift misaligned pieces before curing, then remove the rest of the sheet after curing.
Once everything is perfectly aligned—it’s time to grout. And there’s no better grout than Starlike® EVO, backed by ZHERORISK® technology, offering ultra-low VOCs, vibrant color choices, and unmatched stain resistance.
✅ Clean installation
✅ Long-term performance
✅ Safe for you, your client, and the planet 🌍
So whether it’s a kitchen backsplash, a luxury spa, or a pool waterline—install glass tile with total confidence.
Do it right. Do it once. Do it now!
