Replace Glass On Coffee Table With Tile

Replacing the glass on a coffee table with tile is a great way to update the look of your living room. It's a relatively easy project that can be completed in a few hours. Here are the steps on how to replace glass on coffee table with tile:

Materials You'll Need:

New tile
Thinset mortar
Grout
Tile cutter
Notched trowel
Grout float
Sponge
Caulk gun

Instructions:

Remove the old glass. Start by removing the old glass from the coffee table. Carefully lift the glass off the table and set it aside. If the glass is glued down, you may need to use a putty knife to carefully remove it.
Clean the surface. Once the glass is removed, clean the surface of the table thoroughly. This will help the thinset mortar to adhere properly.
Apply thinset mortar. Using a notched trowel, apply a thin layer of thinset mortar to the surface of the table. Make sure to spread the mortar evenly over the entire surface.
Set the tile. Begin setting the tile on the table, starting from one corner. Press each tile firmly into the thinset mortar. Use a tile cutter to cut tiles to fit around the edges of the table.
Grout the tile. Once the tile is set, grout the joints between the tiles. Use a grout float to press the grout into the joints. Wipe away any excess grout with a sponge.
Caulk the edges. Once the grout is dry, caulk the edges of the tile to seal it and prevent water from seeping in.

Your coffee table is now complete! Enjoy your new updated look.
