Liquid Gold: The Metallic Vitreum Aurum Tile

Elevate your interior to the heights of opulence with the Metallic Vitreum Aurum Tile—a stunning 10x30cm glass surface that captures the shimmering brilliance of real gold.

The **Vitreum Aurum** is the pinnacle of the **Fired Earth Metallic collection**. This rectangular glass tile is back-coated with a specialised metallic foil that replicates the deep, lustrous glow of gold leaf. Its elongated 10x30cm format offers a modern take on the classic subway tile, allowing for sophisticated installation patterns like herringbone or traditional brick-bond. Because the colour is protected behind a layer of high-quality glass, the metallic finish remains vivid and tarnish-free, reflecting light across the room to create a space that feels expansive and undeniably high-end. Ideal for boutique bathrooms and glamorous kitchen splashbacks.


✓ Why Choose Vitreum Aurum?

  • Precious Metal Aesthetic - Provides the luxury of gold with the durability and ease of maintenance of glass.
  • Reflective Depth - The glass body amplifies light, adding brightness to even the smallest alcoves.
  • Contemporary Rectangle Format - The 10x30cm size is perfect for creating bespoke, architectural layouts.
  • Non-Porous Surface - Naturally resistant to stains and bacteria, making it as practical as it is beautiful.

⚠️ Professional Installation Notice

Installing Metallic Glass requires specific care for a mirror-like finish:

  • Adhesive: Always use a white, high-quality glass-specific adhesive. Standard grey adhesives can show through or dull the metallic effect.
  • Back-Coating: Do not scratch the back of the tile, as this will damage the gold metallic foil.
  • Cutting: We recommend using a wet saw with a specialist diamond blade designed for glass to avoid chipping.
  • Substrate: Ensure walls are perfectly flat; glass tiles are reflective and will highlight uneven surfaces.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

Is the gold finish on the surface?

No, the metallic gold finish is applied to the back of the glass. This means the colour is protected from scratches and cleaning agents by the glass itself, ensuring it stays as brilliant as the day it was installed.

Can I use these tiles in a shower?

Yes, they are suitable for shower walls. However, they must be installed with a 100% solid bed of white adhesive to prevent water from sitting behind the glass, which can affect the metallic coating over many years.

Can these be used as floor tiles?

No. Glass tiles of this nature are specifically designed for wall use only. They are not slip-rated and would be prone to scratching underfoot.

How do I clean gold glass tiles?

Use a soft microfiber cloth and a standard glass cleaner or warm soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the glass surface.
