How To Maintain Glass Subway Tiles
by Lisa C. Marketing WriterGlass subway
tiles are classic tiles with a glossy twist. Made from glass with an additional
glossy, shiny reflect, glass subway tiles have managed to emerge as one of the most
in-demand materials for indoor walls.
On the
whole, the cleaning and maintenance of glass tiles is a simple job. However, it
is a completely different but careful approach.
If you have
them installed at your home, this article underlines some of the most useful
tips for the easy maintenance of glass subway tile. Check out the following
subsections –
Stubborn
Stain Removal
Glass
subway tiles have a smooth surface. Slippery is common on these surfaces (but,
we are not talking about its disadvantages here). That said, stains aren’t actually a big
situation here with glass subway tiles.
Use a soft,
damp cloth piece and rub it on the stains. You will notice that they have
disappeared. If the stains are still there, you could use lukewarm water to
dampen the cloth piece.
No
Sealant Required
Unlike
natural stones, glass tiles do not require you to apply sealant every year in
order to enhance their shine and performance. It is a non-porous surface that
is already smooth. There is no possibility of dust, debris, fluids entering the
pores and creating a messy outlook.
Scratch
Treatment
Glass
subway tiles are anti-scratch surfaces that technically do not scratch. That’s
how these products are sold. While this is true that glass subway tile has
scratchproof surface, it is never recommended to use sharp and pointed objects
such as knife, nails, screwdrivers, drill, etc. directly on the tile surface.
Do not Use
Cheap Products
Extreme
heat can damage the form of the glass tile. However, since it is one of the
commonly used products for kitchen counter and backsplash, it is advised not to
buy cheap quality products as they may perform to your expectations.
Above all,
you will need to make sure that your glass subway tiles are installed correctly
using the right adhesive, grout, tools and techniques.
