Can Glass tiles be fitted behind a ceramic hob - Tile Advice

[ListWriter]

I've noticed that some of the glass tiles sold, eg ones a Topps Tiles, say that they have to be 110mm away from a heat source. Is this true of all glass tiles?

It applies to gas hobs....

 

[Protilers]

Not all......

 

[Protilers]

Topps have been having huge problems with one of thier ranges......its a glass tile that "looks" crackle glazed.....brick shaped (150*75)......
probarbly why they are insisting on 110mm......the same tiles are also having problems with certain adhesives!

So basically I need to double check before I buy, but in general it only applies to naked flame heating.

 

[DHTiling]

Yes as this is the heat from the flame that can over heat the glass and cause to crack on tiles that are not suitable for said area.
