Can You Guess Our Most Popular Color of Glass Subway Tile?
We make our Lush glass tile in over 30 colors, but which one is the top seller?
You might think it is the bright apple green of Lemongrass which is so hot right now.
Or the new neutral grey of Fog Bank
Perhaps the whisper blue of Vapor?
Or maybe the soft watery green of Surf?
All of these are top sellers for sure, but the number one all time best selling Lush glass subway tile is…Cloud White!
Surprised? Not really right? White goes with everything so it’s no big surprise that it is our best seller. Not all whites are created equal, however. We’re picky here at modwalls and we think that’s the reason that our Cloud bright white Lush glass tile is so sought after.
You see it’s very difficult to get a true bright white when firing color onto the back of glass to make subway tile. Most glass has either a green or blue tint to it, which affects the finished look of the tile when a pale color such as white is baked onto the back of the glass. Here at modwalls we only use ultra clear glass for our white and pale colors. It’s more expensive but we know that it is worth it to get that bright crisp white that we demand. You can’t argue with these results now can you?
Modwalls is Making Tile Modern with cool new designs and a hassle free online buying experience. Try us for the broadest range of colors and whitest white glass subway tile in a range of sizes to make any kitchen backsplash, bathroom or swimming pool sing!

Want Clean Tile? Then Choose a Quality Grout
We get the question, “How should I keep my tile clean?” so often.
And it makes perfect sense to ask of course; if you’re going to remodel and invest in new tile, you want to keep it in the best condition possible. It’s a great question.
But the answer might surprise you because really, it’s not as much about keeping your tile clean… It’s waaaay more important to keep your grout surface clean!
Your tile might get a little soap residue on it, but that can be wiped away. What’s more difficult is trying to fight back scum, mold and mildew in your grout lines.
In the case of grout, preventing mold and mildew is your best bet. We’ve given the full run-down about all grout options possible previously on our blog, so you know we highly recommend top-of-the-line grouts like our StarGlass Urethane Grout over all other options. We stand by the claim that this product really is the best of the best.
StarGlass Grout colors with modwalls ModRocks Recycled Glass Pebbles
StarGlass Grout is a one of a kind product: It’s made from recycled glass dust, pre-mixed and stored in a resealable container. It’s waterproof and stainproof formula won’t crack or break over time, and it has a gorgeous translucent glow.
StarGlass is composed of post-consumer recycled glass and it emits little to no VOCs. StarGlass’s long lasting and easy-to-use formula provides unmatched stain resistance, ultimate color consistency, crack resistant flexibility, mold/mildew protection and UV stability.
These features and benefits are sure to minimize life cycle costs and provide a translucent, three-dimensional, reflective appearance that you can enjoy for years to come.
So if you are embarking on your remodel and going to use tile for the job, please keep our grouting tips in mind! Any questions? Feel free to post a comment! =)

Play with Clay(haus)
We’re still semi-obsessed with our new beauty, the Clayhaus for modwalls® line of hand-crafted, domestically made ceramic tile.
Our favorite thing about Clayhaus for modwalls® tiles is that they can be “mixed & matched” so that you can create a completely custom tile design.
See?!
My personal favorite is when all of the glossy 2″x8″ ceramic tiles are used together in one installation…. L-O-V-E.
What would your ideal Clayhaus for modwalls® design look like?
