Does glass tile scratch easily?
Glass tiles can scratch, although such happenings in normal use are quite rare. Normally, glass tiles are made from a specific kind of glass called tempered glass which is heated at a very high temperature to make it resilient. Tempered glass doesn’t scratch, chip, or crack; it cannot even break or shatter as easily compared to regular glass. On the other hand, the tile scratches when rough or abrasive materials like steel wool or scouring pads are used on them, or even when they fall prey to sharp or heavy objects. To keep away scratches always handle the glass tiles with care and never use rough or abrasive cleaning elements.
