The Montage Series

Administrator — Wed, 01 Dec 2010 19:49:17 +0000

We have more new glass tiles at Design For Less, which is always exciting! This time we have added the stunning and economical Montage Series. They are similar to our Aventuri glass tile collection but with much more tonal variation and ton of new color options.

A great little fact about the Montage glass tiles is that each sheet is a bit over one square foot. So while you are paying a square foot price you are actually getting more tile than you are paying for. Also each tile is made with 100% recycled content so you can feel good about your tile choice. You are getting a green tile without the high price. How’s that for a deal?

One of my favorites is Summer which would look great with our Ocean Grey 3×6 Subway as a beautiful bathroom tile design. And the Summer glass tile is only $8.00/piece…

Another great pick is the Sahara from the Montage Series. A great combination of tan and beige tones it goes great with our Java pebble tile. This would be great in a bathroom design as well or even better as a kitchen tile.

The options are endless! Check out the Montage Series and see what else you could match it with!

Waterfall Glass Tile Installation

Recently Cricket Wireless used the Waterfall glass tiles for the public washrooms of the Cricket Communications building in San Diego. Here are some images from the project.

Waterfall glass tile is great for bathroom design. The colors are soothing and the copper flecking adds just the right amount of visual interest.

Same as the idea behind our Concept Boards their design team paired the waterfall glass tile with a porcelain tile. Porcelain is commonly used for commercial installations because it is extremely durable and low maintenance. Lately porcelain tile has become popular in residential installations for these same reasons. No sealing, easy maintenance, and long lasting.

The linear tiles give the wall a sharp and contemporary look while lengthening the room. Here they used a grout lighter than the tile. To create a more seamless look you would just need to use a grout closer to the color of the tile.

Amazing Kitchen Transformation!

While browsing on Garden Web’s website I came across a conversation about finding the whitest glass tiles possible. And it happened that they were talking about The Glass Mosaic Outlet’s Blanco 3×6 Subway tile! Further down were these amazing pictures of Dwight’s kitchen backsplash installation where the Blanco 3×6 subway tile had been used.

All images can be clicked for larger versions.

I was so impressed with the look of the kitchen design that I had to contact Dwight about the photos. He was just as excited and sent me a bunch of his before and after images. My favorite part is seeing the before pictures. Here is what their kitchen design looked like before the transformation.

Keeping with the subway tile shape they combined the Blanco 3×6 with the Stainless Steel 1×2 tiles to create the final striking kitchen design.

Both the Subway tiles and the Stainless Steel tiles have recycled content, in fact the Stainless Steel is 100% recycled tile. So if you are looking for green materials they are a great choice.

*We actually had a manufacturing mistake with the Stainless Steel 1×2 and ended up with Stainless 1×2 but in a vertical pattern rather than staggered. We are having a blow out sale on these if you would like to replicate this look at a discounted price. Just give us a call 1.888.848.4537

I am not sure what they used on the floors for this installation but we have a similar porcelain floor tile that would look just as great. Ferroker Alumino is a 17×26 porcelain tile that has been used in countless installations both commercial and residential.

While Alumino is the most popular of the colors there are also 3 other colors in the collection which you can see here Porcelain Tiles.

Thank you Dwight for sharing your pictures with us!

This is what Dwight had to say about his Design For Less Experience “…we are very happy with the quality of the tiles, as well as the pricing we received from The Glass Mosaic Outlet. We have had several guests comment on our backsplash and I have even loaned out a couple of our extra pieces for our friends to look at in their own house. Too bad you don’t have a referral program; I might be able to quit my day job (JK).”

We are working on a referral program because we know you guys are out there spreading the word about Design For Less and we really appreciate it! For now just remember that any tile installation pictures we receive from you automatically gets you a 5% discount on your next order. You can email them here info@design-4-less.com.
