How good is Tile Art?

To be very specific, you get what you pay for when it comes to tile art and especially backsplash. This means that there are many forms of cheap glass tile. So one must pick wisely when shopping for tile art or tile glass. We’re not saying that the Home Depot or Lowe’s $10/sqft glass tile isn’t good but generally we get what we pay for. Architectural Art Tile’s glass tile backsplash may be a little pricier than some other backsplash tile out in the market, however we stand behind our custom tile . As for floor tile we mostly work with natural stone tile; which makes a great tough surface for kitchens or other high traffic areas. For bathrooms, a great option for tiles would also be our glass as well as ceramic tile art. Mosaic tile on a sheet work as an alternative, however grouting and installing can really turn into a big hassle.

Installing Tile Art

The number one rule to installing tile, is to talk to a local tile store and get prepared with the proper tools and material for installing our glass, ceramic or stone tile. Your local tile store will know all the trade secrets and issues that go with installing tile in your area especially if you plan to install tile outside. Specialized tillers are also a great alternative if you feel that you can’t do the tile project on your own. There is no shame in not doing a tiling project yourself, there is actually a lot of damage that can occur if tile is not installed properly. Failing to free your tile area of dirt correctly can lead to foliage in the system. It is also very important for you to have the tiles sealed to preserve the tile. Many times, people will just cut corners to quickly install backsplash tile.

Regardless of what type of tile you are installing; if you’re doing the job yourself make sure you have all the tools and everything prepped and ready before you begin or if you’re hiring a tile pro; the tile art and backsplash tile  that you get from Architectural Art Tile will be top quality tile.

With the tough economy upon us all, Architectural Art Tile felt that price shouldn’t be the determining factor when making tile art. There will always be a need for backsplash tile, especially glass tile backsplash. You can find Architectural Art Tile glass tile for sale straight on their site at http://ArchitecturalArtTile.com and also in the eBay store under ArchitecturalArtTile. Architectural Art Tile’s eBay store is a great place to find remnants and items that they are simply looking to move out of the warehouse to make room for new products.

As for Architectural Art Tile’s pricing; its something that is never set in stone. The staff at Architectural Art Tile will always work with you to get you the best price on your custom tile, no matter the material you need.

For today’s process we will talk about making a glass tile pattern for our product line. When we at AAT look at making a pattern, of course we want to make sure that a pattern has an appeal to it. After a pattern makes it through the appeal stage, we then look at our process internally to see if we can turn this pattern into tile art. We have to take into account several production stages that of course we can’t mention in the article. Once a tile pattern pass the production evaluation, we then must go out and do some market research.

When conducting our market research we touch base with several tile retailers and get their perspective on the glass pattern. We also touch base with several designers through out the country to get their input as well. Once a pattern passes this step; only then does it move into production.

Finally the glass tile backsplash is produced and we have tile art at its finest! Once we produce the pattern we then send out samples to all our tile retailers and our designers looking for feedback on the finished product. We touch base with everyone and consider every bit of information that is given to us. We have an internal number that we aim for, or I should say a number that a tile  must pass before the backsplash tile is offered to the public.

We always strive for perfection with our tile, because we feel that our tile work is art in its finest form…on tile! If you would like more information about our tiles or our process feel free to contact us at 866.723.8453 or contact us at http://www.architecturalarttile.com/contact-us/ ; we will be more than happy to help with any questions you may have.

I started researching the cost of different types of backsplashes, and I found that the high end glass tile backsplash was the best way to bring good value to my kitchen. I found the installation of the tile to be within my capabilities after I researched the best way to install it. I gathered the proper tools and took my time measuring and cutting to get the best possible results.

This backsplash tile comes in many styles and colors that really appealed to me. The hardest part was deciding which style I liked best. The glass tile really made my kitchen pop. Glass tile brings a sophisticated look to my kitchen and gives me the WOW factor I was looking for in a kitchen update.

Kitchen renovations can bring you a good return when you decide to sell your home. Therefore, I figured this was a great project for me to do on a small budget. It is a fact that the glass tile backsplash appeals to a high percentage of home buyers. I decided I could not go wrong with a glass tile choice. Although my choice may not be everyone’s favorite style and color, it is a popular style used in many modern kitchens. I knew it was important that I chose a backsplash tile that would appeal to the masses.

I started my search for my glass tile backsplash at one of the big box stores. I found a great variety to choose from and was able to get some samples to take home. I picked the best style for me that was easy to install as a single weekend project. I did it myself with a tile cutter, measuring tape, grout mix, bucket, and grout tools. I am not the handiest girl on the planet, but the backsplash tile looks amazing in my kitchen, if I do say so myself.

I did a little research by bringing home some samples of different tiles in different colors. I read the instructions and gathered the right tools. I chose a popular tile product. The payoff is I managed to glass up my kitchen.

Glass Tile as Art Tile

Wall décor can consist of framed pictures on the wall or a glass tile mural for a more unique touch. An art tile mosaic can be used to transform walls as well. Although many people are satisfied with the simple pleasures that decorating brings them, others look forward to the simple pleasures that come with just living their lives. Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) is one of the more common injuries that can affect a person’s entire life. In some cases, traumatic brain injuries take away everything that was normal before their accident, including the simple pleasure of an art tile covered wall in the living room.

In order to raise awareness and help for those with Traumatic Brain Injuries, bikingforbrains.com holds awareness events all over the country. Donations can be as little or as much as a person can afford, and have included such items as a glass tile mural donation from Architectural Art Tile and recovery products to help patients get through their injuries. The website is more than a story of one man’s experience, however. It provides information about what a TBI is and the symptoms that come with it, as well as real life experiences of those that have lived it.

One of the many ways that bikingforbrains.com raises awareness for the cause is a month long bike ride that takes them through nine states. With plenty of training beforehand, rider will make a 115 mile trek per day in order to keep on schedule without wearing themselves out. From April 21 until May 18, 2012, every rider’s training time will be tested with only one day of rest. Beginning in Costa Mesa, California and ending in Savannah, Georgia, the bike tour allows cyclists to challenge themselves while seeing all of the beautiful sights that America has to offer while still maintaining the principles behind bikingforbrains.com.

Traumatic brain injuries can be life threatening and can have a lasting impact on your life as well as those that love you, and having the information that you need and the support of others that have lived through it can make a huge difference in how you handle your medical condition, both physically and mentally. Although the ride may not cure traumatic brain injuries, it challenges your physical strength and gives you the mental knowledge that you can do anything you put your mind to.

Our Glass tiles come in a rainbow of colors and patterns. They are easy to install and come as individual tiles. Our glass tile is installed with just simple glass mortar & really easy to install.

Look carefully at the backsplash area that you are wanting to improve. Measure it and then determine how much tile glass you will need. Also, always make sure that you get an extra 10% overages for cuts and breaks. If you looking more for a decorative art tile, we can also produce that for you.  Glass tile can give a unique and personal look to your kitchen and you can never go wrong when you choose tile art.

Another really interesting and artistic way of changing your kitchen is to incorporate tile murals into it. This is when the tiles form a large scenery when completed. Each individual tile combines to form a whole but each tile is not a separate picture. However you go about it adding colorful backsplash tiles to your kitchen is sure to improve the value and the look of it. Tiles can be easily cleaned and add a cheerful note to any decor.

In the twenty first century stone can be used in another creative way as a fountain wall, which can be a welcome and calming detail to any modern home. Mostly stone can be used for counter tops in kitchens and bathrooms for a clean modern finish. It wasn’t like in the past when stone was used as a design element for floors, now stone, especially granite can be a design element for interior spaces for a modern home. Many people who have a creative eye can create a space that includes elements such as granite stone.

The sky is the limit for the creative uses for natural materials like granite which can be used in so many different ways. Many architectural magazines have taken note on the many uses of granite, marble and other forms of stone as creative design elements that can be used in today’s interior home decor.

Even if you’re living in a cave in some remote mountain area you know what a bathroom is and most times, where to find one. If your bathrooms look like a scene from a horror movie and you can’t wait to get in and out, and your guests, on occasion, make an excuse to make a sudden trip to a nearby gas station when Nature calls, maybe its time you do something about it. Since we all spend a lot of time in our bathrooms, you might think: “why do you need a backsplash in your bathroom?” One reason might be to make your bathrooms shine like a ruby and stick-out with some tile art. The second reason is that if your bathroom walls are not covered with tiles then it isn’t protected against splashes from the bathtub or shower; ergo, the name backsplash. And since you’re on a roll here, why stop at just a tub/shower. You can also make a lovely decorative tile backsplash between the sinks and cabinets and add a tile glass design above it as a finishing touch. Once completed your bathrooms will look so ornate the next time guests come to call, they may ask for the name of your architectural tile wizard and never leave your bathrooms even if you’re grilling rib-eye steaks and serving a $100 dollar wine.

If thinking about remodeling the kitchen and bathrooms in that 15 year old home you love so much, be sure to consider upgrading your bathrooms with some decorative tile art. Most architectural tile companies would enjoy spending some time at your home, without any obligation, showing you designs and pictures of tile glass and tile art and show you how effective bathroom ideas can be. Once you see the beauty, you’re hooked!

Having a level surface before you put on the first tile is essential to having a level and secure fit. If you neglect to make sure the wall surface is free of lumps, holes, and bumps, you can have an issue down the road as tiles may come loose due to an improper fit. You can also avoid moisture buildup which can happen behind tiles by making sure that a tight seal forms between the tiles and the wall. This is especially important, as moisture behind tile glass over time can actually turn in to mold and mildew, and thus you may be forced to redo or replace you beautiful backsplash. Avoiding common issues at the onset is your best defense against issues which can occur after the tile has been installed. The end result of a properly installed tile art backsplash is one that can bring a whole new look to any room that is chic, stylish and eye catching.
