Iridescent Glass Mosaics

Iridescent mosaics carry a thin lustre coating that refracts light, so the colour shifts as you move past them and as daylight changes through the day. A sheet that reads pale silver at breakfast can turn green-gold by late afternoon. It is the one tile finish that genuinely looks different every time you walk into the room, which is why it works so well in showers, behind a hob, and around water.

Our range runs from fine 20–25mm glass squares to larger 50mm pentagon and shell formats, in glass, and in mixed glass, stone and metal blends. Everything is mesh-mounted, so curves, niches and shower returns are straightforward to lay.

What's in the collection

Abalone — six shell-inspired colourways (Indigo, Jade, Ocean, Pearl, Pewter, Sky) on 309mm sheets, rated for walls and floors.

Iridis Acquaris, Maldives Penta and Niebla Mix-Iris — frostproof Spanish glass in square, pentagon and mixed-lustre formats, suitable for swimming pools and outdoor walls as well as interiors.

Original Style — the Jungfrau, Ultimo Shell, White Lady and Dream mosaics, including round penny and shell shapes.

Choosing and laying iridescent mosaics

Does the colour really change? Yes. The lustre is applied to the glass surface, not printed, so what you see depends on the angle you view it from and the direction of the light. Order a cut sample and prop it in the actual room before deciding — photographs never capture it.

Can these go in a swimming pool? Several can. The Iridis, Maldives and Niebla ranges are frostproof and pool-rated; the Original Style glass mosaics are for internal walls. Each product page states its suitability, and our team will confirm before you order.

What grout should I use? A pale grout keeps the lustre reading as light and reflective; a darker grout frames each tessera and reads more graphic. For showers and pools, use an epoxy grout — we stock epoxy grout alongside these ranges.

Will it suit a small bathroom? Particularly well. The reflectivity bounces light around, which makes a windowless shower or cloakroom feel considerably less enclosed than a matt tile of the same colour.
