To all glass people - I'm not trying to pick a fight. Here are my reasons that are purely subjective and personal -
1. Glass color can depends on the backing glue color if the glass tile is not backed with a white coating. If not done right, it looks bad. Also, having laid more tile in my life than I ever wanted to, 1" glass tile on vertical surfaces is a nightmare to lay. Mixed rectangular and squares is even more of a nightmare.
2. Calcium scale on glass looks ugly
3. Incredibly hard to clean glass tile with calcium scale as it is easily scratched.
Now, with that said, if you've done glass tile in your pool and you're happy with it, great for you. I'm glad. I don't like the look of glass tile at all and I would never use it or recommend it. That's my personal preference and opinion which is just as valid as yours. Feel free to voice your own opinions about glass if you like it.
Sorry if I sound prickly, but I know how social media works and, especially, internet forums - folks read something and, because they don't know the person posting and they don't like seeing subjective opinions contrary to their own, they ramp up their outrageously outrageous outrage machine to DEFCON 5 as if a slew of bad things were just said about their mother. Then, in less than a post, it goes from being a discussion of ideas to series of ad-hominem attacks.
By all means voice your opinions loud & proud but please keep your emotionalism to yourself.
