Metal Mosaic Tiles

Metal mosaic tiles are contemporary surface coverings made from metal or metal-effect materials, often crafted into small shapes and mounted on mesh sheets for ease of installation. At Hyperion Tiles, we offer a premium selection of metal mosaics in finishes such as stainless steel, copper, brushed nickel, bronze, and even mixed textures. These tiles are unique in their ability to reflect light subtly and add industrial or high-end modern character to any room. Their sleek and stylish appearance makes them especially popular in kitchens, bathrooms, and commercial interiors looking for a bold yet elegant finish. Whether you're going for a minimalist metallic accent or a dramatic feature wall, metal mosaics deliver a highly tactile and eye-catching aesthetic. They're also typically resistant to stains and water when installed correctly, making them practical as well as decorative. Their versatility and visual impact make them a firm favourite among designers and homeowners alike.

Metal mosaic tiles are most commonly used in kitchens and bathrooms but can be incorporated into almost any interior space. At Hyperion Tiles, we recommend them for kitchen splashbacks, bathroom feature walls, shower enclosures, and alcoves. Their reflective properties make them ideal for areas where you want to add light and interest. They work brilliantly behind hobs or sinks, offering both a practical barrier and a stylish statement. Metal mosaics are also often used to frame mirrors or create decorative inlays in larger tiled areas. Their clean, modern aesthetic makes them particularly well suited to urban or industrial-style interiors. If you’re seeking a creative touch in your hallway, wet bar, or utility room, these tiles can bring a bold, architectural edge. For commercial environments such as salons, restaurants or retail spaces, they provide a sophisticated finish that stands out. Just ensure the correct adhesive and grout are used to suit metal surfaces.

Yes, metal mosaic tiles are highly durable and relatively easy to maintain when installed correctly. At Hyperion Tiles, we stock metal mosaics that are designed for long-lasting performance, using robust materials such as stainless steel and aluminium. These tiles are resistant to stains, heat, and splashes, making them a practical option for kitchens and bathrooms. Cleaning is usually straightforward—simply use a soft cloth with warm water and a mild detergent to wipe away dirt or grease. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or acidic cleaners, as these can damage the surface finish or leave marks. Over time, depending on the metal type, some tiles may develop a natural patina that adds to their character. If you prefer to maintain a polished appearance, occasional buffing with a non-scratch cloth will help keep them looking their best. For both style and substance, metal mosaic tiles are a brilliant option for busy modern spaces.

Absolutely. At Hyperion Tiles, our metal mosaic collection includes a wide array of colours, textures, and formats to suit every design preference. From cool-toned stainless steel to warm copper, brushed bronze, and even blackened or gunmetal finishes, there’s something to complement both classic and modern interiors. We also offer mosaic patterns in hexagons, squares, brickbond rectangles, and mixed-format sheets, giving you the freedom to create anything from sleek splashbacks to geometric feature walls. Some designs incorporate a combination of metal and glass, stone, or ceramic, offering contrast and added texture. Finishes range from high-shine polished metal to subtle brushed or textured effects, so whether you're looking for a high-impact focal point or a soft metallic accent, our range can accommodate your vision. Many of our mosaics are mesh-backed for easy application, and we’re always happy to advise on the best grout colours and layout options to enhance your design.

Metal mosaic tiles can be suitable for wet areas such as showers and bathrooms, provided they are installed using the correct waterproof adhesive and grout. At Hyperion Tiles, we supply high-quality metal mosaics that are moisture-resistant and suitable for feature walls, splash zones, and shower surrounds. It's important to note, however, that these tiles are generally recommended for walls rather than floors, as metal surfaces can become slippery when wet and are more prone to scratching underfoot. To maintain performance in wet environments, it’s essential to seal the grout lines properly and ensure all edges are treated to prevent water ingress. We also suggest choosing brushed or textured finishes for better grip and visual subtlety in steamy conditions. When fitted correctly, metal mosaics provide a striking and contemporary finish that enhances the look of any bathroom. Our expert team is always available to guide you through the best installation practices.

Installing metal mosaic tiles requires careful handling and the right tools. At Hyperion Tiles, we recommend working with a professional tiler for the best results, especially if you're dealing with awkward spaces or feature walls. Most of our metal mosaics come mesh-backed, which makes alignment and placement easier. For cutting, use a fine-toothed blade suitable for metal on a wet saw or an angle grinder with a metal cutting disc. Manual tile cutters are not suitable for these tiles. Always wear protective gear when cutting to prevent injury and ensure clean edges. Apply a flexible adhesive that’s compatible with metal, and allow for expansion by leaving small gaps where necessary. Grouting should be done with care—use non-sanded grout to avoid scratching the metal surface, and clean excess grout quickly before it dries. With the right preparation, metal mosaic tiles are straightforward to install and deliver a polished, design-led finish.
