Delphinus Constellation Glass 300 x 100mm Wall Tile

Yes, this is exactly what they are made for. Glass is completely non-porous, so it will not absorb water, cooking grease or staining, and it does not provide anything for mould to grow into.

That makes it a strong choice for kitchen splashbacks, bathroom walls, shower enclosures and cloakrooms. The reflective surface also bounces light around, which is genuinely useful in a small or north-facing room.

Use a white, flexible, cement-based adhesive rated for glass. This matters more with glass than with any other material: grey adhesive shows through the tile and turns a clear or pale glass muddy.

Pair it with a white or colour-matched flexible grout, and use a waterproof or epoxy grout inside a shower. Order your adhesive and grout with your tiles and we will check the combination suits the specific tile.

As a rule, no. These are wall tiles — a smooth glass surface is slippery underfoot and is not rated for foot traffic or point loads.

Where a product in our range is also suitable for floors, it says so on the product page. If you want glass at floor level, a glass mosaic sheet is the safer option because the grout joints provide grip. Ask us and we will tell you straight.

Warm water and a soft cloth or a standard non-abrasive glass cleaner is all that is needed. Buff dry afterwards to avoid water spotting, particularly in a hard water area.

Avoid abrasive pads and scouring creams, which will dull the surface. Keep aggressive limescale removers off the grout joints, and re-seal cement grout periodically if you want the joints to stay crisp.

At 300 x 100 x 10mm, each tile covers roughly 0.03m², which works out at about 33.33 tiles per square metre.

To work out your order: multiply the height by the width of each area you are tiling to get the total square metres, multiply that figure by 33.33, then round up to the nearest full tile. Add 10% on top for cuts and breakages, or around 15% for a herringbone or diagonal layout.

If you would rather not do the sums, send us the dimensions of your space and we will confirm the quantity — and if you are close to a box quantity we will tell you, as it is often cheaper to take the full box. Free cut samples are available, and you are welcome to see the range in our Ascot showroom.
