Ceratec Majolica Blu Matte Glass Mosaic 2" x 2"

Matte glass gives a backsplash or a niche the depth of glass without the shine, and it wipes clean.

In simple terms: Majolica Blu is a 2x2 glass mosaic for walls only, such as backsplashes, feature walls and shower walls.

It is the matte finish in Blu from the Ceratec Majolica range.

Each sheet measures 11.8" x 11.8", with 2" x 2" pieces. It is 6 mm thick. The spec sheet lists water absorption below 0.5%. Shade variation is V3, moderate. It is designed by Ceratec in Canada and made in China. Matte glass has a soft, even face and wipes clean, and it belongs on walls where it does not take foot traffic.

It suits kitchen backsplashes, feature walls, bathroom and shower walls and tub surrounds. Pick it as the feature, and run a plain field tile around it.

Each sheet covers 0.97 sq ft, so a 30 sq ft kitchen backsplash takes 32 sheets, or 35 sheets with about 10% extra for cuts and spares. It is sold by the sheet, and a box holds 12 sheets. For every 100 sq ft, plan on 114 sheets with the 10% extra included.

It is listed for walls only, so do not put it on a floor, including a shower floor. It is listed for indoor use, so keep it off exterior walls.

For edges, Ceratec recommends a 5/16" trim profile.

Our own crews install it, so the people who measure the job are the people who answer for it. See Ceratec Majolica Blu in person at our Mississauga showroom (700 Dundas St E, Unit 3-4, 905-277-2227) or our Barrie showroom (112 Saunders Rd, Units 1-4, 705-726-2272).
