Oceanside Glasstile Introduces New Dimensional Accent Pieces, Finishes and Colors to its Popular Handcrafted Glass Tile Collections

Carlsbad, CA –Oceanside Glasstile announced the arrival of 12 new dimensional designs to its popular Casa California collection. A silken matte finish option is also now available throughout the Oceanside Glasstile product lines, joining three new cosmopolitan colors: Shadow (a cool gray), Henna (a rich cinnamon hue), and Truffle (a warm chocolate).

These exciting new additions provide even more options to the already popular iridescent and richly translucent non-iridescent finishes.


Casa California is one of Oceanside Glasstile’s seven product lines of handcrafted artisan glass and includes an extensive selection of field, liners, decos, and trim. The new contoured pieces integrate organic and geometric designs that interlock, creating striking feature walls or textured accents.

According to Feras Irikat, New Product Design Director, “Inspiration for the new field pieces was eclectic, with both whimsical and architectural influences: a flirtatious Blink of an eye, the rolling motion of a wave (Onda in Spanish), the pleated look of the Japanese Obi, or the intricate folded designs of Origami.”


“The new Casa California pieces are especially effective when combined in an interplay of finishes. The same piece in one color—our new Shadow, for example--but in multiple finishes adds wonderful textured color in addition to the dimensionality of shape,” Irikat continued.  

New Casa California dimensional field includes Blink (7 3/8” x 4”), Syncopation (4” x 4”), Lune (4” x 4”) and Keystone (5” x 4”). Liners include Origami (2 ¼” x 7 7/8”), Onda (2 ½” x 7 7/8”), Vapor (2 ½” x 7 7/8”), and Twin Peaks (2” x 7 7/8”). Decos, (1 7/8” x 1 7/8”) are Eddy, Obi, Syncopation, and Origami. All sizes are nominal.


A green building material, Oceanside Glasstile is made from silica sand, an abundant natural resource, with many colors also containing post-consumer recycled bottle glass and/or glass recycled from the company’s manufacturing process. Each year the company uses over 2 million pounds of glass from curbside recycling programs, turning waste that would otherwise end up in landfills into beautiful and sustainable design materials.
