DESIGN BASICS
Choose your style of tile.
COLOR: The color may be in the glass (125 colors) or applied behind (What ever color you want or blends of colors).*
TEXTURES: Our textures may be on the face of the tile or behind. We have 12 stock textures and an infinite variety of patterns.
PATTERN, BAS RELIEF: "Innies & Outies" An "Innie" or "Outie". The "Innie" has a shiny surface with the design below the surface, into the glass. The "Outie" or Bas Relief tile has the design in relief, and a pebbled surface. You are NOT limited to the patterns or designs shown.
GEOMETRICS: From Regular Plaid patterns to fun Confetti spatters, we have accent tile, field tile, borders, and chicklets in your choice of style, color combos, color intensity........
"STONE" COORDINATES: These are perfect pieces to use to tie in natural elements, lighting, vessels, accents..... Make glass block work in natural installations, the possibilities are exciting.
NATURE: Flora, Fauna, pet graphics, seascapes, trees, fish....... Overlapping with the relief, castings, and a few other design topics, This brings the most number of styles together. Art Nuevo, Craftsmen, Monet style water garden tile, sinks........
METAL INCLUSIONS: 24k GOLD, .99 SILVER, PALLADIUM, COPPER, STAINLESS STEEL. Each of these metals brings it's own unique properties to inclusion in glass. They all have peculiarities in behavior and design challenges. We take foils, threads, sheets, and spatters of these metals and turn them into design elements in our products.
CASTINGS: The most amazing pieces we produce. We make a model or sculpture out of wax or clay, sometimes using actual organic matter such as vegetables, make a master mold then tweak the master and make the needed number of molds for the client's installation. We then use the Pate de verre - or glass paste method of layering in small pieces of glass frit where the colors are needed.
* We offer color matching service in extra hard enamel. The enamel color backed tiles may not be used in wet installations, as the enamel is only a surface applied coating and the tile will peel off when wet. (NO pools, spas, showers, tubs, unprotected out door surfaces, etc. for enamel backed tile.) Used as accents or in dry situations, kitchens, floors, bath walls that don't get wet, etc, they perform well. Use any of our other glass tile for wet applications.
