At Bellavita we have always created some of the most unique fused glass material but never ventured out of this style of glass

production.

– Until now

Our new Teardrop Collection is a blended process marrying techniques from molten and fused glass production. The end

result is a molded shape mosaic with vibrant iridescent color that retains the translucence of fused glass material.

Teardrop is a true example of the Japanese aesthetic principle Wabi Sabi – perfection through imperfection.

Creating spaces as vibrant and dynamic as you are is easy with Teardrop.

INSTALLATION & MAINTENANCE

Product is clear molten glass with a glazed rear face. Due to the clear nature of the material some “shadows” may be visible at tile edge when viewed at an angle. This is not a manufacturing defect

Inspect all product prior to installation for any visible defects or unacceptable color/shade variation. Claims are not ac-cepted after installation Install using polymer or latex modified thin set mortars. Do NOT install using mastic and/or epoxy. Flattening trowel ridges is critical with slim glass Suggested grout width is 2mm For best results cutting, use a score & snap glass/tile cutter with a new cutting wheel. If necessary use a wet saw or angle grinder with a blade specifically designed to cut glass After cutting, smooth any rough or sharp edges with a dia-mond honing stone or pad Before gouting follow mortar manufacturer’s instructions to allow for full cure of thin set - usually 36 to 48 hours Grout only with non-sanded cementitious grouts. Using a sanded grout may scratch some surfaces

After initial wash ensure all remaining “grout haze” is buffed off with a dry cloth before 24 hours have elapsed

To clean use a damp sponge with warm water. For heavy cleaning use a non-abrasive cleaner with a damp sponge.
