About The Tile This captivating mother of pearl tile in oyster white is artfully arranged in a square pattern. The pearl shell glass will add a durability and lasting exquisiteness to your kitchen, or fireplace installation. The mesh backing not only simplifies installation, it also allows the tiles to be separated which adds to their design flexibility.
Pearl tile is not recommended to install in places where it will be submerged in water, such as a shower floor or pool, as submersion will cause the tile to darken over time.

Q: How do you clean it? Â Special precautions in a shower?
A: Please reach out to us at [email protected], and we'll be glad to verify this information for you.A: I have only used as a kitchen backsplash so I’m unable to address that concern. It wipes down easily with a dishcloth and mild soap in my application. And it still looks amazing after almost 12 years! -
Q: Can I use this on a floor?
A: No, too thin.A: No, the tile is very thin, wouldn’t hold up. It,s mor for a backsplash.A: No, very thin and delicate. I think it says for wall only. -
Q: Can this be used for surround of gas log seldom used fireplace?
A: I used mine as backsplash in my kitchen and behind the stove and I love it. It’s a natural shell... why not??A: I ordered this for a neighbor that used it in her bathroom so I really don’t know. -
Q: How well do the squares of mosaic line up piece to piece? My contractor said he's used something like this in the past, and the tile rows didn't line up well. Anyone have experience this?
A: The squares line up very well. Misalignment of a couple of pieces can occur, but can be easily rectified by any capable tile installer. -
Q: Does this mother of pearl tile have more gray or beige undertones?
A: This is a natural material so there is variation between and within lots. I would suggest ordering a sample so you can see the material in person.A: This tile has beige under tones.A: I would guess it is 60/40 grey to beige undertones . I used it with Carrera marble with an oyster grout which has the same "beige" color found in the mother of pearl. The actual tiles are lighter than shown online on my screen. I used them in the skylights in my master bath and they are beautiful when the sun hits them.A: I think it actually has both and will look good with either a warm or cool palette. We installed it with dark cherry cabinets and warm-tone granite. Our galley kitchen is small and I wanted something that would reflect light and allow for the darker cabinets. It's beautiful.A: I would say that it might lean very slightly more towards the gray tones, but slightly. My sister has this in her kitchen with gray kitchen cabinets and it looks great.A: i'd say more ivory -
Q: Do you have a store?
A: I'm afraid we do not have any physical stores. We are an online retailer. All of our products and their samples are sold directly from our website. We have a showroom in NYC, but it is not a store. https://tilebar.com/showroom/ -
Q: Might I use this MoP tile for the countertop on a bathroom vanity?
A: This material is not suitable for countertop installation -
Q: Is this real mother of pearl or glass?
A: Real mother of pearl not glass. Very beautiful.A: Real Pearl, Used on the galley back splash of a custom yacht. Very light weight, and not thick. Looked fantastic.A: It is real mother of pearl and very pretty! -
Q: I would like to use in master bathroom grout line on floor. Will it hold up to normal wear?
A: This material is not suitable for floor installation. -
Q: We noticed that this tile should not be submerged. Does this mean that it is not suitable for a shower wall? It will get very wet but not submerged unless the drain stops. Also can this tile be cleaned with Dow Scrubbing bubbles and other bathroom tile cleaning products? We have this tile in our kitchen as a back splash and in our laundry room and love it. We are now thinking about our shower. Any help would be appreciated.
A: Submersing the tile in water can cause it to darken over many years, but mere contact with water should not be a problem.A: I have it on my kitchen back splash also.A: I only ordered a sample of this so I'm probably not the best one to ask. It sounds like you have more experience with this one having used it for your backsplash etc... Personally I love it but wouldn't use it for a shower. Just seems too thin for that kind of use. Good luck with your project. You could probably find a glass tile that would give you a similar look.A: Since it is mother of pearl, and pearls (in jewelry) require a very gentle cleaner (I.e.: you cannot put pearls in same standard jewelry cleaner you can use for diamonds, gold, and rubies, etc)then I doubt it would be safe to use Scrubbing Bubbles cleaner or other bathroom cleaners. The chemicals in those cleaners are very toughand can't be used on porous finishes. Pearls and mother of pearl are porous. Sorry!A: We have it in our shower niche and as an accent band around the shower. It was installed 1.5 years ago and we have had no problems. We are an eco friendly household so we never use conventional cleaners that are filled with toxic chemicals. Too many cancer risks with conventional products. We use Bon Ami and an Eco fiendly scrubber with great results. Bon Ami is available at most strores. Mir is a powder cleaner like comet, but has a base of coconut instead of chemicals. It gets rid of soap scum in no time and has no scent!

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...
