Changing from Tile Shack to Glass Tile of Oklahoma

We are making a huge change this week. We will be closing Tile Shack and reopening as Glass Tile of Oklahoma. We are now a glass tile liquidation company. You will receive the same great service and products but through a different website.

www.okglasstile.com

We have a new shipment arriving Tuesday, April 28. This will contain restocks on most of our Art Tile Collection, some Brushstrokes, and a few Art Tile Minis. We are also adding a few new items.

Once we get our new shipment, pricing will go up slightly. We have made our new and restocked items available for pre-order on our www.okglasstile.com website. These are available at the old price and will only be priced this low for a limited time. All pre-orders will ship out by Thursday, April 30.

We will no longer be offering Artist or Trade accounts. The pricing will be so low on our tile that you won't need it! However, we will be offering special discounts on very large quantity orders. More info will come soon for this.

Liquidation Event Still in Progress

We are making some amazing changes that will be announced soon. In the meantime, you will find that our Liquidation Event is still going strong. We are out of a lot of colors but still have many items still in stock.

We have marked all our AfterGlow Series down to 50% off. All full sheets are now $5.95 each!

Using Both Sides of the Tile

Many people get very annoyed by the bumpy, ridged side of vitreous glass tiles. When cutting this tile, these bumps can be very aggravating. They cause your wheels to slip into the grooves and can make cutting difficult.

A friend of mine recently decided not to let the ridges bother her. Instead, she is now using them to her advantage.

Let's start off with cutting. The grooves are not there as a guide for where to cut. You are better off to just forget they are there. However, some tiles seem to cut better across the grain while others cut better with it. You will have to test a couple to tell for sure which tile needs to be cut in which direction. To get the best cut, you will need to hold the tile securely in one hand while cutting with the other. If you let the tile slip then your cut will be bad.

My friend that I spoke about wanted to create a deer using the vitreous glass. She selected all her colors in the tiny tiles. She did this so she could get as much detail without cutting so much. She cut all her tiles in half to make slivers to represent the growth of hair on the deer. But when she tried to glue these slivers to her board they kept falling over. Out of frustration, she turned all of the tiny shards over and glued them all upside down.

After she grouted it, the effect was amazing. Her deer turned out great. Each tile looked just like the flow of the deer's fur. She could not have achieved this if she would have placed all of the tiles face up.

Sometimes it pays to have those bumps!

Winter Weather - CLOSED

Just a quick note to let you know that we received a lot of ice through the night and more is on the way for today so we are closed. No orders will ship out today. I am hopeful that I can get to the office tomorrow although we are also in a deep freeze and there is no place for the ice to go.
