Q: What colors are in tile?
A: Please reach out to us at [email protected], and we'll be glad to verify this information for you. -
Q: Can this go in a shower?
A: This is suitable for shower wall according to the website specifications. -
Q: Can this be used to tile a shower seat?
A: This material is not suggested for shower seat installation. -
Q: Can you use this as a back splash above/behind a stove? Will the heat from the stove burn it?
A: Yes! We installed this as a backsplash in our kitchen, and it is gorgeous. We've had no troubles with the heat from the stove at all.A: I have a combination of Herring and white marble and it’s fine. I love mine. So beautiful!A: I used it for backsplash behind my stove and it works great. There is about 3 inches between the backsplash and my electric range top and I haven't had a problem. Grease will pop and get on it so I would suggest using a grout that wont absorb the grease too quickly or at least sealing the grout once its set.A: Hi, I have this tile as a backsplash in my kitchen. The smooth top range has never given me an issue with it. Of course, there is approximately five or six inches between the burners on the cooktop and the actual wall. I try to keep any splatters wiped off it, as I do believe it would stain if they were left sitting there for a long period of time. It's a stunning backsplash in person and I am very pleased to have it in my kitchen.A: I use the tiles in artwork but they are very tough. Although they are thinner than art glass or window glass, they cannot be cut like glass with a scoring tool - I use a dremel tool to cut them to size. Unless DIRECT heat was applied to the tiles, I do not believe they would scorch or burn. -
Q: How stain resistant is this compared to marble tile?
A: I would sompare this material in terms of stain resistance to marble as they are both natural materials . Mother of Pearl and Pearl Shell tiles must be regularly cleaned and maintained to extend the life and beauty of the tile. The tiles can be cleaned with a neutral mild detergent. Keep surfaces clean from abrasive dirt and do not use abrasive cleaners, powders, scouring pads, steel wool or sandpaper. Do not let soap, bleach or other cleaning solutions set on the surface. Seashells consist primarily of Calcium Carbonate. They will react to acid including vinegar, acidic foods and carbonated beverages.A: I have had shell tile in the past and it didn’t stain at all. I have only had this white up for a week so I can’t really say but I know marble is very porous, I think the shell is much stronger. -
Q: How do you clean this tile as a kitchen backsplash? Does the thin nature of the product make it too fragile?
A: I had shell tile in my shower. It never changed in 8 years. The thin set behind it makes it strong. It does get fine scratch if you use cleaner with scrubbing sand type stuff in it but just don’t and it’s fine. It’s not fragile. Sponges are fine. Scrub brushes are fine.A: Mother of Pearl and Pearl Shell tiles can be cleaned with a neutral mild detergent. Keep surfaces clean from abrasive dirt and do not use abrasive cleaners, powders, scouring pads, steel wool or sandpaper. Do not let soap, bleach or other cleaning solutions set on the surfaceA: The tile itself does not need to be sealed at all. It is surprisingly hard yet very thin. I absolutely love the product and the mat on the back of that tile is very strong which keeps all the little pieces together very well considering there are 144 pieces per sheet. Only thing needs to be sealed is the grout. Installation was easy and cut clean with a diamond wet saw.A: I have not had any problems cleaning it with a soft sponge with warm soapy water.A: This is a gorgeous backsplash! It is the highlight of our kitchen and very easy to maintain. We just wipe it with a non-bleach wipe if something gets on it. That said, I do use a backsplash protector if I cook something really acidic as a precaution. We had 1 installer refuse to install it because the tile is very thin, but the person who did it had no problems working with it (I will caution that he charged us more for labor because the pattern is small and needs to be matched -- it will take more time than subway tile, but it is absolutely worth it). We also needed to have him come out after installation to regrout in a couple of spots because the tile is so thin that the backing showed through the thin layer of grout. Overall, I could not be happier with this tile and recommend it without reservation.A: I use these tiles in art projects. To create the proper shapes, I must cut them with a Dremel tool. Although thin, I cannot break them with glass nippers like I do with regular art glass. They are tough! I don’t use them for backsplashes so I cannot comment on how to clean them. I’d think they should be cleaned like any standard tile or glass backsplash though.A: I just got it installed but havent moved yet to my new house. It looks gorgeous though! But I had to order like 30% more than the original sqft calculation because there was more waste than expected. I will definitely be extra careful when making tomato sauce or peeling pomegranates!! 😬😬 -
Q: Can anyone post pictures if you used this as a kitchen backsplash and how durable is it?
A: We love it!!! Beautiful. I haven’t had it long enough to know how durable this exact one is but I have had shell tile before in a shower and it was great. Never changed in 8 years.A: It’s a beautiful backsplash...we installed ours about 3 months ago. If someone tells me how I’ll post the pic! -
Q: Can this be used in a pool?
A: No. It can get wet, but should not be fully submerged.A: It is not recommended that this tile be installed in a pool or any location where it will be submerged in water. -
Q: What is the Length and the Width?
A: 11.81" x 11.81" -
Q: Can this tile be used around a gas fireplace?
A: Yes, absolutely.

Beautiful tile!
I absolutely love this tile and the final look of my kitchen backsplash. Of note, this is glass tile and it is very thin. I was able to find a 2mm Schluter edging for it after a very extensive search online. We had a contractor place our tile and it took them 3 days to finish my backsplash. I am so happy with the final look. This tile is so beautiful and shimmery.

Great Company and Great Product
Great product and great company to deal with. I had to order a few more pieces to finish the job, my mistake in calculation, and they shipped it next day to avoid long delays to finish the job. Will buy from again.

Beautiful and unique
This Mother of Pearl tile is absolutely beautiful! I recently redid our fireplace with this product and the results could not have turned out better. It blends seamlessly with my décor, and makes the fireplace and mantle look amazing. I also like this tile as it is unique and it not the standard granite or marble that most people use. Simply fabulous!

Beautiful
Very pretty tile. We used for our bar backsplash and it provided a nice light, delicate feeling to an area that needed it. It is very fragile and we had to order more to accommodate the finishing touches/edges. But overall happy.

Ceiling Tile
We installed this tile on our groin ceiling. The herringbone pattern was a bit trickier to work with than a standard brick pattern, but I think the extra effort was worth it.

Fantastic tile and customer service
I used the mosaic glass river pebble on our Master bathroom shower floor. It feels like a mini massage every time I step on it. We love the look as much as the feel. And we are getting lots of compliments.
THANK YOU! Maureen
