What is the best backdrop for cast glass?
Because of the way light plays through the glass, alternating patterns of light and dark yield the most dramatic effect behind cast glass. The richness of the patterns tends to get lost if you have a plain background behind the glass. For example, if you’re installing a shower enclosure with all beige tiles or all white tiles, there’s very little pop from the glass. If, however, you have a band of an alternating color, or some random tiles in an alternating color, these can dramatically enhance the look of the cast shower from the outside.
