I would like any ideas on what to do with left over thick glass tile squares?

Sherrie on Jan 26, 2013So sorry about the renters! Having had rental property I know from experience. Never again! I don't think I would use it for a floor. Slick and what if it chips or cracks it could cut. Instead think of creative ways to use it. I would use it to block a window half way up for privacy instead of a curtain, a accent piece you could re-glue it to a board and use it on a table, The glass sparking would look great in the light. Set candles on it to reflect light. The list goes on and on, I could even see using it on a square table it would be very unique. Have some fun!Helpful Reply

Kitchen Kelli on Jan 26, 2013If you have a few and they are hollow, put some collections in them and set them around the house - golf balls, vintage game pieces........it's sort of a more modern way to display collections based on the antique mason jar idea.Helpful Reply

Woodbridge Environmental Tiptophouse.com on Jan 27, 2013Few things can be done. Remove what you can and use them to fill the basement window areas if you have them for light and increased security. Cut slots in one side of a few and use as a piggy bank. Do not use them as flooring as they will become slippery if they get wet. Depending upon how many you have will determine what other ideas you can come up with.Helpful Reply

Laurie on Jan 27, 2013if they are vintage, they may explode if you cut them. We used some vintage blocks on the half wall of our bar. We put a light in the cabinet behind them.Helpful Reply

Tanya Peterson Felsheim on Jan 27, 2013I had a friend who had a very very small space between upper and lower cabinets of her kitchen, and it was an outside wall, so to bring more light in they cut out places for the glass blocks all across underneath a set of cabinets, adding more light to the kitchen without more heat. Looked really custom.Helpful Reply

Cynthia H on Dec 27, 2014Renters can be wonderful or awful. After our last experience we sold ours- too expensive doing repairs after each tenant. We had to spruce things up quite a bit to sell, including a new kitchen floor (even the underlay was ruined. As for your glass tile, how about a half wall of them in the bathroom for more privacy if they are structural, if the toilet is in plain view? I like the cabinet and window ideas, too. In the basement, you could probably use them to define an area. Outdoors? Not sure, but, glass should hold up with the right adhesive. I googled glass tile and came up with backsplashes, etc.Here's a link to one place that used them outdoors: https://www.glasstilewarehouse.com/outdoor-projects?view=item&layout=item There were also countertop ideas: http://www.houzz.com/glass-tile-countertopsHelpful Reply

Susan Bechamp on Aug 20, 2015When we enclosed the back porch of our first home we used glass block tiles at the sidewalls to bring in a lot of light and give some privacy from the neighbors. They can also be used as transoms over the doors if you have the room.Helpful Reply
