There are multiple procedures used today in creating glass tile. These techniques include Smalti, Sintered, Cast and Fused. Bellavita Tile has chosen to produce all of their glass tile products using the Fused Method, as this style of production best captures the light refraction and depth people love about glass. The material starts with pre-fired float glass (similar to what is used for car windshields). It then gets a thick glaze application to the rear face… and then, a double layer of protective coating. All glazes are produced from natural minerals and are applied through a broad range of techniques from hand-brushing to mechanical screen applications.

Bellavita's fused glass goes through the final firing process on top of a textured mold in many collections, a process which slumps the glass forming a relief pattern in the surface. This regimen creates amazing depth and nuances of color tone that shift as one moves throughout the space. Bellavita uses many naturally inspired textures to give its glass a unique character and flavor seldom found anywhere else.

Glass tile never seems to go out of style because it has so many benefits - not the least of which is its amazing beauty. Additionally, glass tile is impervious: Glass, by nature has 0% porosity and therefore is nearly impossible to stain without the need of sealers. Additionally, it is easily maintained with environmentally safe cleaners.

Glass contains no organic material, so it does not contribute to VOC's or other indoor air contaminants. On top of that, glass tile inhibits the growth of mold, mildew and other bacteria. Because of its inert nature, glass is even unaffected by the sun, so those brilliant colors will stay vibrant for years to come.

With all these desirable characteristics, beautiful glass tile from Bellavita is also, surprisingly affordable. And, those who insist on these products all gain one thing in common: brilliance!
