These bathroom wall tiles simulate the look of brick.

Looking for a really different kitchen backsplash or shower surround? Well, what would you say to glass tiles that simulate the look of brick, stone or wood?

DeVerre Elements, LLC is an American manufacturer of glass coverings with a distinctive appearance, allowing for one-of-kind installations every time. DeVerre artisans have created a patent-pending, hand-crafted process, resulting in three unique collections: Stone, Brick, and Wood DeVerre. The firm’s sustainable philosophy begins with a 100% recycled materials and a low-emission, low-energy manufacturing process.

 


DeVerre Elements glass surfaces are ideal for commercial
or residential applications, indoors or out.

Founder Michael Fisher, a master glass designer who spent years in Italy learning his craft before returning to Pennsylvania to set up shop, stated, “I’ve always been fascinated with natural elements, but there are certain limitations when designing with all these materials. Too much porosity, for one. Lack of luminosity, for another. That’s why we came up with the DeVerre concept. Our products can be used as ‘stand-alone’ surfacing… or they can continue an existing design of stone, brick, or wood, with the same shapes and textures in glass.”

 

DeVerre Elements are suitable for either commercial or residential projects and perform ideally in both interior and exterior environments. Fisher notes, “Our elements may be specified anywhere stone, brick, wood, or traditional glass tile may be.” DeVerre Elements have rounded edges and are smooth to the touch, making them safe for installation where there is physical contact.
