An Ancient Art
Fluid patterns encased within solid forms, catching reflections. Joining together to create a subtle interplay of light and color. Fused glass. A prized possession of the Pharaohs as far back as 1500 B.C., this art requires great skill. Now through modern technology, the ancient art form of glass fusing is revived to add new dimensions to your interior and exterior environments.
Our Green Statement
GlasTile has always been committed to the highest stewardship of our enviornment. The terminology "Green" does not have true standards except for that fact. Leave this planet a bit better than you found it. We have always strived to do that. We use recycled products, especially our own. GlasTile has never used any material or process in its manufacturing that is not environment-friendly. Since we use colored glass to start with, there is no spray-painting in our processes. Hand-applied gold is our only surface decoration. Glass, in itself, is a natural product of this earth. We send nothing to the landfill that cannot be reorganized into the fabric of the planet. We even recycle boxes and packing materials. When and if "Green" can be truly defined, we are certain that GlasTile will have already fulfilled the requirements.
The Company
GlasTile, Inc has been providing high-quality hand-made glasswork to the public since 1983. GlasTile evolved from the stained glass industry, progressing into fused glass—producing fused glass tiles and tabletop accessories for the Tile and Accessory markets. GlasTile has been a progressive pioneer in this area—offering old-world technique and innovative solutions.
Based in the piedmont area of North Carolina, GlasTile serves industries and consumers world-wide. Although GlasTile’s market is production-based, custom orders are welcomed and encouraged. We enjoy creative problem-solving. It keeps the creative process, and the company, alive.
We have been involved with major projects from restoration to state-of-the-art technologies — from Venetian tile to Tiffany to Disney. Our website will be constantly updated. Comments and inquiries are welcomed.

Terms and Conditions
Material
GlasTile is a hand-made product, and variations in color, size, texture and finish is inherent. Occasional bubbles are also characteristic of hand-made glass and are considered to be normal attributes of the product. Glass colors may shift, formulas may change, and older samples may no longer be accurate representations of the product. THEREFORE, the production can, and usually does, vary slightly from the showroom sample. IF COLOR, SIZE OR TEXTURE IS CRITICAL FOR YOUR ORDER, THE SHOWROOM SAMPLE MUST BE INCLUDED WITH THE ORDER AS A GUIDE. EVERY EFFORT WILL BE MADE TO DUPLICATE THE SAMPLE. If no sample is furnished, GlasTile, Inc. will produce the order to its internal guidelines. In the case of Custom Orders, a prototype sample will be furnished for approval and billed. Again, every effort will be used to match the prototype in the production run, which also may vary slightly.
Guarantee
GlasTile, Inc.’s commitment to the client is to provide a product free of true defects outside of the characteristics listed in Item 1 MATERIALS. It is the client’s responsibility to inspect the shipment and report any obvious defects to the manufacturer or manufacturer’s representative within 30 days after receipt, and prior to installation. INSTALLATION CONSTITUTES ACCEPTANCE OF PRODUCT. No claims will be accepted after product is installed. Should a problem be reported prior to installation, and within the 30-day limit, all items must be returned to the manufacturer for inspection. If deemed truly defective, GlasTile, Inc will immediately replace the defective tile and return the shipment at no cost, and shipping costs to return the product will be reimbursed to the client. There are no other guarantees or adjustments, written or implied. In the event of unresolved disagreement, the matter may be settled by independent arbitration or in a court of law, and the venue for these proceedings is Greensboro, Guilford County, North Carolina.
