Maniscalco Crackle Glass Installation






A billabong is a small, usually stagnant, lake formed where a river or creek makes a u-turn or dead ends. Billabong is also the name of Maniscalco’s crackle glass tile series. Crackle glass is lots of fun, but following the manufacturers installation guide is key for the finished project looking beautiful.

Billabong Crackle Glass is a ceramic tile with colored glass chips that are melted to fill the depression in the ceramic body. During the cooling process the glass crazes. Glass is a product of the earth and, just like stone, each piece is unique and can be highly shaded. Make sure this product is inspected before installing.

Billabong Crackle Glass may be installed on interior walls, bath and kitchen back splashes. Do not use on floors. All glass can scratch, especially on floors.

Pre-seal the tiles well with a penetrating sealer to prevent the grout from staining the glass. Regular cleaning with a mild bathroom cleaner or neutral tile cleaner and a soft cloth or sponge according to the manufacturer of the cleaner is recommended. Buff dry with a soft cloth. Do not use acids, corrosive, or abrasive cleaners.
