Mosaic Tile
Whats the best type of mosaic tile to use on a kitchen counter? Glass, ceramic? But will ceramic crack?

I’m not crazy about the idea. Junk gets into the grout. You bang a pot down, and ceramic or glass will crack. You drop a glass on it, and there’s a good chance the counter AND the glass will break. I’d save it for the backsplash.

I really like stainless steel counters — they look kind of drab, but they are very easy to keep clean, they aren’t as hard as tile or stone, you can set a hot pan or skillet directly on them and they last forever. Best of all, you can sanitize them by pouring some boiling water over them (if they drain into the sink). The ones in our house are almost 30 years old and still great!

But if your heart is set on tile, I’d go for ceramic. Glass is a little more sensitive to temperature changes, and I’d be afraid if the splinters when it breaks.
