Q: Is this tile able to be utilized as a fireplace surround?
A: I would not suggest this as a fireplace surround. -
Q: How do you cut these tiles? What kind of saw?. Would tile clippers work?
A: Use a glasscutter (score and snap) with a new diamond wheel for best results when cutting our pearl tiles. Wetting the diamond wheel with oil before cutting will produce the smoothest cuts. In some cases it may be possible to use a wet-saw with a new, continuous rim diamond blade. Do not use turbo or other notched blades designed for use with porcelain or ceramic as the teeth can cause a coarse cut, resulting in a heavily chipped edge. To cut angles without a wet saw or grinder, drill a small hole at the apex of the angle prior to cutting. In most cases, this will allow the use of a score and snap cutter and avoid small cracks that can happen at the angle. Cut edges and corners will be sharp. Always be sure to smooth the cut edges manually with a diamond hand pad or ceramic dressing stone. -
Q: was it hard to grout where the tile met the countertop? My contractor is worried that the tiles will "slip" down into the gap between the wall and the counter.
A: It was very easy to install and did not slip down into the marble counter top. It actually blended in beautifully. Would highly recommend this tile.A: in our application it was for wall tile and a small amount of backsplash. We did not have any problem... and it should not slip down .... but if that is a concern, you could use a 1/2" x 8 - glass pencil liner to transition from the countertop to the backsplash.A: No issuesA: These tiles are very thin and not heavy. Mine did not slip, but if your contractor is worried about that, he can always use spacers to hold them in place.A: Our countertop has a 6” raised backsplash made of the same material as the counter. It’s affixed to the wall and there is not a gap between it and the wall. We did not have trouble.A: Hello, it wasn’t difficult to have the tile meet the counter top edge.A: NO, it wasn't hard to grout. My contractor used a white Non-Sanded Grout only as an adhesive to stick these tiles to the wall. He just put the Non-Sanded Grout on the wall and then put these tiles on the wall. The hard part was getting the tiles to "interlock" in the spaces that need more than one tile. Also, when you get to the end of the wall you have to clip or cut off the excess which can be a pain if you don't have a saw. These tiles do not have the grout come up and show in between the little bricks. That's why I wanted to use these tiles because grout that shows can change color or get dirty over time and with these tiles I don't have to worry about that. I love mine, they are beautiful on the wall. Hope this helpsA: I had no problems with that whatsoever. Ours was a DIY project - there was no slipping at all.A: No you shouldn't have any problems like that as long as its installed properly. The pieces are quite light weight so once they are set they shouldn't really move around typically. Then you will just need to Caulk the line between the tile and the countertop. -
Q: What is the best color grout for these tiles?
A: We suggest the Laticrete Permacolor Bright White Grout.A: I used white, but I think a light grey would work as well.A: whiteA: We used white and it looks fabulous. -
Q: Since the tile is so thin do you need to adjust electrical outlets/switches?
A: The electrical outlets and switches would be installed ontop of the tile, the screws would be adjusted to the thickness.A: The only adjustment I made was to loosen the screws for the switch/receptacle a tiny bit so they could pull forward perhaps 1/8 inch, before putting on the plate. -
Q: How big are the samples?
A: Sample sizes vary from 2x12 to 6x6, depending on the tile. You can rest assured that the sample will be large enough for you to be able to see the entire pattern and/or color of the tile.A: It's fairly small. It is about 3" x 4". I did buy it and used it in my bathroom renovation and it looks beautiful. Then tile guys complained a little bit because it's very thin but they got it done and it looks great.A: I think they are at least a 5 "x 7" from what I can remember.A: Not sure. Wonderful little tiles! Must make sure your surfaces are completely smooth and level. This is very thin tile and shows imperfections. I have used it several times and just love it! -
Q: how much would 3 sq metres be thx and shipping costs to the Uk thx ?
A: Hi!
Thanks for contacting us. Currently we do not ship internationally ourselves. What we can do is ship (for free) to a freight forwarder of your choice within the continental U.S., but you will be responsible for the shipping charges from the freight forwarder to your location. -
Q: 11 1/4 by 12 1//2......which is the width?
A: I believe the 12 1/2 is the width. This dimension is referring to a square sheet of the mini-tile.A: The longer is the width, so 12 1/2A: Mine is 11 1/2 width x 12 1/4 high -
Q: Would this tile be suitable to use on a curved tub surround? I have classic white subway on the walls.
A: Absolutely! It's gorgeous!A: Yes, the backing is flexible, but keep in mind, the sharper the curve increases the amount of grout space.A: It should roll with it just fine. The pcs are only 1 inch long and it would take a pretty tight radius to make them jaggedA: I think it would work fine. Keep in mind these tiles are very thin - not that easy to work with.A: I believe so...my contractor installed it, so I'm not sure about the practical application of it where something is rounded. I know he made a comment about it being very thin tile, but he made it work & it turned out beautiful- I used it as an accent wall where my sinks & mirrors are. -
Q: In the specifications it lists the material as "Pearl Shell Glass". Are these tiles real Mother of Pearl or glass made to look like Mother of Pearl?
A: They are real mother of pearl.

Stunning and unique
I used this tile for the backsplash in my kitchen and laundry room. I get SO many compliments on the tile. It is unique and eye-catching while also being subtle. There are slight glimmers of pearlescence, but nothing overwhelming. Due to the varied color pattern this tile would complement a wide selection of other tiles or surfaces. I found a similar tile first, then sourced this at Tile Bar and Tile Bar was way less expensive and did a fabulous delivery. Not a single piece was broken.

Oyster White Pearl Pebble Review
We recently purchased the Oyster White Pearl Pebbles from Tilebar for a client project, and we couldn't be happier with the results! The tiles were not only stunning in appearance but also incredibly easy to install, which made the whole process smooth and efficient. The final look exceeded our expectations, adding a beautiful, polished finish that instantly elevated the space. Highly recommend Tilebar for their quality products and seamless experience!

BEAUTIFUL! Sophistication and elegance in the bathroom.
BEAUTIFUL! The Mother of Pearl tile adds a touch of sophistication and elegance to the bathroom - used as an accent on the entire back wall of the shower and on the wall over the vanity. So far no issues with it holding up to being used and cleaned in shower. I wish I had better images and some video, it's hard to tell how amazing the room looks without it looking like a little girl's room with the pink cabinetry and shower tile...
