Moorish Elegance Meets Modern Shine: Vitreum Argentum Arabesque

Redefine the focal point of your room with the Metallic Vitreum Argentum Arabesque Tile—a breathtaking lantern-shaped glass tile that combines centuries-old silhouette design with a futuristic, mirrored silver finish.

The **Argentum Arabesque** is the jewel of the **Fired Earth Metallic collection**. Moving away from traditional rectangles, this tile uses a sophisticated "lantern" shape to create an interlocking pattern that is both fluid and architectural. Each piece is crafted from high-clarity glass with a premium silver metallic foil bonded to the reverse. This technique creates a "liquid chrome" effect, where light travels through the glass and reflects off the silver backing, resulting in a three-dimensional glow. Whether used for a full-height feature wall or a glamorous alcove, the Arabesque format adds a level of designer complexity that elevates a standard silver tile into a piece of wall art.


✓ Why Choose Argentum Arabesque?

  • Iconic Lantern Silhouette - An interlocking shape that breaks away from standard grid lines for a more organic, luxury feel.
  • High-Reflectivity Silver - The mirrored backing bounces light around the room, making even small bathrooms feel spacious.
  • Deep Dimensionality - The thick glass body provides a visual depth that flat metallic tiles cannot replicate.
  • Timeless Glamour - A perfect blend of traditional shape and contemporary metallic finish.

⚠️ Professional Installation Tips

Installing Arabesque Glass requires precision for the best result:

  • Adhesive: Use only a high-bond white glass tile adhesive. Grey adhesives will diminish the silver luster.
  • Complex Cutting: Due to the curved lantern shape, we recommend using a wet saw with a diamond glass blade and planning your "cuts" carefully at corners.
  • Grout Choice: A fine, non-sanded grout is essential to avoid scratching the polished glass surface during the grouting process.
  • Layout: Dry-lay a section of tiles before fixing to ensure the interlocking pattern is perfectly aligned.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate how many tiles I need for this shape?

Because of the interlocking lantern shape, there is slightly more wastage than with standard square tiles. We recommend adding a 15% wastage allowance (rather than the usual 10%) to ensure you have enough for the curved cuts at the top, bottom, and corners of your wall.

Can I use these in a shower?

Yes, they are suitable for wet areas. However, for a professional finish, ensure the substrate is perfectly flat and use a high-quality waterproof grout. The silver backing is sealed and protected by the glass.

Does the silver ever peel off?

No. The silver metallic layer is a high-tech foil bonded to the back of the glass and then sealed with a protective coating. It is designed to be permanent and will not peel or tarnish under normal interior conditions.

How do I clean the curved edges?

The high-gloss surface and the shape make it very easy to wipe down. Use a soft microfiber cloth and a standard glass cleaner to maintain the mirrored shine.
