Shower Floor Tiles and the Hot New Trend For Transparent

Want to give your bathroom a new style? Get the new shower floor tiles! At the moment, the hottest is glass tiles in the bathroom. Made glass tiles are so versatile, they can be for almost everything, not just for flooring. Reserved In fact, hardware and bathroom, you can use the material to complete your whole bathroom. But where did this trend come from for the transparent?

The Beginning

Tile supplier credit Denver artist Judy Collins. Afterthe co-owner (and General Manager) of Euro Bath & Tile in Denver, Colorado, Lori Greenstone, Collins inspired the passion for glass, thanks to its artistic glass runs.

Not long after Collins overwhelmed people with their creations, followed by the owner Vitra Form Denver suit and came with glassy drops ... and that was when the preferred style.

Who Wants glass sinks?

Over time, other tile manufacturers jumped on the train and improvised. Suddenly, style, where the boundariesmaterial was concerned were being pushed. Manufacturers came up with many ways to innovate. Glass shower floor tiles began to pop up in different sizes, shapes, and edges. But forget flooring; they're not using the material for that purpose alone. VitraForm, for instance, is now making glass sinks and countertops in 9 patterns, 11 colors, and 2 shapes.

Glass That's Not Easy to Break

But who is buying these sinks? The answer: high-end homeowners and international hotels.

Hotels like the Grand Hyatt Shanghai and the Grand Hyatt in Fukuoka in Japan use glass sinks. Is maintenance a problem for these hotels? Not at all, says Greenstone. To keep their sinks clean, all their staff has to do is spray Windex on them and then wipe with a soft cloth. Breakage is not a problem either, unless of course a guest deliberately drops a hammer onto the sink. You see, the sinks are made of a material that is the equivalent of an auto windshield in thickness. Can someone say strong?

So the next time you have a hard time deciding how to go about your tiles, try glass. You will receive not only a very durable surface, you can double it as a mirror, too.
