Mirror tiles are versatile, elegant, and upscale. Mirrored glass and metal tiles can be used as accent tiles on various home decor styles, such as vintage, contemporary, or even ultra-modern spaces. Made of glass or stainless steel, these mirrored tiles are suitable for residential and commercial spaces: kitchen backsplash, walls, bar, restaurant, spa, bathroom (outside of the shower area), and feature walls, to name some applications. They can go pretty much on any vertical indoor surface.

How to cut mirror glass tiles? You may use a wheeled score and snap tile tool or a tile wet-saw with a diamond blade.
What type of adhesive should I use to install mirrored glass tiles? Mirrored glass tiles must be installed with CRL Gunther Extra/Build Mirror Mastic or equivalent. Solvent glues or construction and generic adhesives must be avoided.
Do mirrored glass tiles have to be grouted? Our mirror glass tiles come mesh-mounted for easy installation. Therefore, it already comes with a grout joint/space. However, you may easily remove the individual tiles from the mesh and install them close to each other and without grout. Since the tiles are silver and reflective, we recommend using clear translucent grout.
Do I need a particular trim piece to finish the edges of a backsplash or other walls? No. You may finish the edges by:
1) Applying grout or a paintable caulk on the exposed side of the glass tile’s edge, let it dry, and then paint it with the same color as your wall. 2) You may also use Schluter Tile Profiles, which can be purchased at your local home improvement store.
