Subway Tiles and Glass Mosaics

Subway tiles have this unique ability to create a brick like appearance on walls it is used in. this design is owed to way back in early 19th century when the tiles were first used to decorate subways in New York. It is from here the concept was borrowed, and today we have the option of experimenting that brick look with different tile types.

Subway tile is characterized by the interlocking rectangle patterns on its surface, hence the nickname brick. Ever since the concept was borrowed from New York train alleys these tiles have found their way into homes as the idea decorative material. This is because of a number of advantages the tile model possesses. First it is cheaper than most tiles in the market like stone or wood. Additionally, subway tiles are ceramic in nature thus are resistant to moisture hence cannot be easily stained. Moreover, they don’t retain allergen or odor on the surface which is why they are used a lot of times in remodeling bathrooms and kitchens.

Since its advent, the ‘brick’ structure has moved from ceramic and is now being tested in other materials in the market. Glass mosaics are one of the successful shifts from ceramic and which really do an excellent decorative job when used. The modern day kitchen will have glass mosaic subway on the island or backsplash. The 3 by 6 inch tiles are perfect on these small areas since using glass all over your kitchen may come out looking a bit redundant. But for the backsplash or island, it brings out a conspicuous effect by being the center of attraction when you walk into your kitchen.
