How to cut glass and stone mosaic tiles?
When it comes to cutting the backsplash tiles, each material requires a specific tool. And backsplashes which consist of more than one material require different approaches due to their varying properties. For cutting a glass and stone mosaic tile backsplash, a wet saw with a diamond blade is the most proper material to prevent cracking and chipping. While the diamond blade will provide the most efficient and accurate cuts, water will minimize dust and prevent overheating.
However, a wet saw is a professional material that can cost a lot. If you don’t want to purchase it, you can check your local home improvement stores to find out if there are any renting options. But if there is not or looking for a more affordable way, the best technique for safely cutting mosaic tile will be to remove the individual tiles from the mesh and cut each piece separately.
Before the cutting process, remove the individual tiles from the mesh backing by simply pulling. Once each piece that needs to be cut is removed, it is time to cut the tiles. You can cut the glass tiles with a manual tile cutter and stone pieces with a stone nipper. Once you finish the cutting process, then you need to re-attach the tiles on the mesh. To preserve the unity and the original pattern of the mosaic, you will need spacers when re-attaching the tiles.

How to install glass and stone tile backsplash?
Since mosaic tiles come with mesh backing, the installation process is much easier than individual tile applications. But you still need some tips and tricks that will make the process a piece of cake! Before the installation, you should prepare equipment and materials.
What You’ll Need?
- Notched trowel
- Tape measure
- Rubber float
- Utility knife
- Level
- Pencil
- Tile nipper or wet saw
- Mosaic tile sheets
- Mortar
- Grout, grout sealer, and haze remover
- Tile spacers
Preparation:
Before the installation process, first, you need to prepare the workspace. Define the limits of the backsplash space with painter’s tape and make sure that the wall is clean, and dry without any dust particles oil stains, or unevenness. In case some cracks or holes are present in the wall, you need to fix them before installation to achieve a smooth result. In addition, cover the countertops with a plastic sheet to avoid damage.
You also need to plan the layout of the tiles. This will help you to find the starting point and avoid any imperfections. Mosaic tile installations generally begin in the center of a backsplash location, but according to the shape and pattern of this tile as possible everything begins on either the bottom edge or at the focal point of the mosaics.
Installation:
Once you have gathered all the equipment and tools and prepared the area, it is time to install the tiles. Spread a tin-set mortar with a notched trowel and press the first sheet of mosaic into the mortar. Work in sections to prevent the drying of the mortar. Do these steps until cover the entire wall space. If some tiles need to be cut, cut them with proper cutting tools and fill the edges and corners with them. Allow the thinset to dry completely, typically overnight.
Grouting:
The task of grouting is no less important than the tile installation. Combine the grout per the directions from the manufacturer. The types of grout materials vary depending on the type of materials used and the gap size. If the space between the grout lines is much above 1/8 inch, then use sanded grout to secure them. However, if these grout lines measure 1/8 inch or less, you are required to use unsanded grout. The correct form of the sentence above is as follows; However, if such grout lines are 1/8 inch or below measured, an unsanded grace will be required to be used.
The use of the rubber float spreads the grout over the top of the tile in such a way that it is necessary to hold the float at an angle of 45 degrees in order not to spoil its flat surface. Wait 10-15 minutes to harden the grout and then get lost from the tiles using a damp sponge. As a final finishing touch, apply a sealant over the entire surface using a brush or roller.
Tip: Due to their porous nature, stone tiles need to be sealed. Generally, glass and stone mosaic tiles come with a sealed surface but if it is not, you need to seal also the tile surfaces.
Glass and Stone Subway Tile Backsplash
