What is the average labor cost for glass tile installation on the vertical?
I'm a contractor. My estimating program tells me to charge 1.76/SF for ceramic tile. I would at least double that price for glass mosaic tile. Their is more prep work since you can see through the tile. In addition, glass tile I've installed in the past has a paper backing on the finished surface. After installing the tile and letting it set up a bit, the paper needs to be moistened and removed. After that, every single individual tile needs to be checked for spacing. One glass tile I've worked with had rough surfaces that made it next to impossible to get all the grout out with normal wiping. After everything had set up, I had to go over every tile and clean the cracks with a knife blade and wire brush. It is a very labor intensive process. Now that I think about it, double the ceramic price probably isn't enough.

Why does a ceramic disk keep water from boiling over?
Because the ceramic or glass disc rattles as the water boils alerting you that the water is boiling therefore you do not forget about it and it does not boil over. Besides functioning as an audible alerter, the ceramic or glass disc will absorb excess heat in the pot. This is especially true when you are boiling something starchy such as rice or pasta. The layer of starch floats to the surface of the water and prevents the water from giving off it's excess heat. The ceramic or glass disc absorbs this extra heat and prevents the water from super-heating and boiling over.
