30x30 Blue Glass Mosaic Sheet

The 30x30 Blue Glass Mosaic Sheet is a 30x30cm glass tile with a glossy surface. This sheet is designed for wall application in wet areas. Its non-porous composition provides high resistance to moisture and staining. Pricing for the 30x30cm sheet is KES 450.00. Project estimation requires approximately 11.11 sheets per square metre, resulting in an estimated material cost of KES 5,000.00 per m². The accompanying table provides material cost estimates for common residential applications, excluding adhesive, grout, and labour.

Recommended Installation Areas

The 30x30 Blue Glass Mosaic Sheet is specified for interior vertical surfaces requiring moisture resistance and ease of cleaning. Its technical properties suit specific environments.

• Bathroom and Shower Walls: The glass construction is impervious to water, preventing moisture penetration into the substrate. This provides a durable wall finish for shower enclosures, wet rooms, and general bathroom walls. In humid climates like Mombasa, the material resists mould and mildew, ensuring long-term hygiene and appearance.
• Kitchen Backsplashes: The glossy, non-porous surface prevents absorption of oils, food splashes, and water. Cleaning requires only standard pH-neutral agents, maintaining a hygienic surface behind hobs and sinks.
• Feature Walls: The glass tiles' reflective quality enhances both ambient and artificial light. In smaller or darker spaces, such as compact Nairobi apartments, the mosaic creates an illusion of greater depth and brightness on a feature wall in a living area or hallway.

Technical Specifications and Performance

The material composition and manufacturing standards of the 30x30 Blue Glass Mosaic Sheet dictate its performance and suitability. The sheet's 'Medium' durability rating is appropriate for wall installations not exposed to abrasive wear or physical impact, unlike floor applications. The glass body resists chemical staining and thermal shock from hot water, maintaining colour stability and structural integrity over time.

Installation and Maintenance

Correct installation ensures the long-term performance of the 30x30 Blue Glass Mosaic Sheet. The mesh backing facilitates faster placement of multiple tiles simultaneously, providing consistent spacing. Use a polymer-modified thin-set adhesive specifically formulated for glass tiles to achieve a strong, reliable bond to the substrate.

For grouting, a non-sanded grout prevents scratching the glossy glass surface during application. Grout colour affects the final aesthetic. Bright white or light grey grout accentuates individual blue mosaic tiles, creating a high-contrast finish. A complementary blue or dark grey grout provides a more uniform and seamless appearance. After installation, the surface requires minimal maintenance. The glossy finish cleans easily with a soft cloth and a pH-neutral cleaner. The non-porous glass surface does not require sealant application.
