Dreamwalls Color Glass Tiles are an exciting product extension that combines the simple practicality of glass in easy-to-use tile form, with proven durability and long-life.
Used as shower walls, back splashes, countertops, and decorative wall elements, this product can be used almost anywhere that ceramic tiles can be used,...with the beautiful reflectivity and dimension that only glass provides. Glass is no more fragile than other traditional tile materials and is non-porous, requiring no periodic maintenance, and non-fading. With a completely smooth surface, stains and dried-on splatters can be easily removed from these tiles.
Dreamwalls Color Glass is a first-quality product without imperfections. Due to a unique dual-coat process, it is also completely opaque for the elimination of trowel-marks showing through.
This revolutionary product can also be painted in custom colors and size formats, allowing you to serve the most discriminating customers in high-end projects.
What are Dreamwalls® Color Glass Tiles?
Dreamwalls® Color Glass by Gardner Glass Products is manufactured using a proprietary paint technology developed specifically for superior adhesion to glass.The color coating is applied to the second surface - the non-contact surface - of the glass.The result is brilliant color combined with the practicality of glass in practical and brilliant glass tile. Gardner uses only Starphire® Ultra-Clear Glass,so the color transmission is the truest available.The paint is applied in one coat, then is heat-cured for durability.
An important differentiating factor is the additional paint layer applied to create a completely opaque material without any adhesive “show-through” or trowel marks, regardless of the color of the adhesive. This unique two-coat, heat-cured process also serves to protect the tile’s color during transport, handling and installation.
