Contemporary Reflection: The Metallic Vitreum Argentum Tile

Achieve a sleek, industrial-glam aesthetic with the Metallic Vitreum Argentum Tile—a sophisticated 10x30cm glass brick that delivers the brilliant, cool luster of polished silver.

The **Vitreum Argentum** is a standout piece in the **Fired Earth Metallic collection**, designed for interiors that demand light, clarity, and modern luxury. Each 10x30cm tile features a high-purity glass body with a precision-applied silver metallic foil on the reverse. This "back-painting" technique creates a stunning sense of depth, allowing the silver to glow through the glass while protecting the finish from daily wear. The elongated rectangle format is perfect for creating a clean, architectural look—whether laid in a crisp stack-bond for a modern feel or a classic brick-bond to catch the light from every angle. It is the perfect choice for brightening dark kitchens or adding a high-shine "mirror" effect to contemporary bathrooms.


✓ Why Choose Vitreum Argentum?

  • Mirror-Like Brilliance - Amplifies natural and artificial light, making rooms feel larger and more open.
  • Cool Metallic Tones - The perfect partner for chrome fixtures, stainless steel appliances, and grey-toned interiors.
  • Durable Glass Protection - The metallic finish is sealed behind glass, preventing oxidation or tarnishing over time.
  • Low Maintenance Luxury - Naturally resistant to water, stains, and heat, ensuring a lifelong polished look.

⚠️ Professional Installation Guidelines

To ensure the silver finish remains flawless:

  • Adhesive Selection: You must use a premium white glass adhesive. Never use grey adhesive, as it will darken the silver appearance.
  • Protect the Backing: Take care not to scratch the silver foil on the back of the tile during handling or cutting.
  • Cutting Glass: Use a wet saw with a continuous rim diamond blade specifically for glass to prevent splintering and edge-chipping.
  • Grout Recommendation: A fine, non-sanded grout is often preferred to prevent scratching the glass surface during application.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

Is the silver finish a paint or a foil?

It is a high-grade metallic foil backing that is bonded to the glass. This provides a much higher level of reflectivity and "mirror" effect than standard silver paint, giving the tile its signature luxury depth.

Will the silver tarnish or rust?

No. Because the metallic layer is located behind the glass and sealed with a protective coating, it is shielded from oxygen and moisture. Unlike actual silver metal, these tiles will maintain their shine indefinitely.

Can I use these behind a heat source?

Yes, they are suitable for use as kitchen splashbacks behind hobs. Glass is naturally heat-resistant, but as with all glass tiles, we recommend leaving a small expansion gap (2-3mm) where the tile meets the countertop or cabinetry.

Can these be laid in a herringbone pattern?

Absolutely. The 10x30cm dimensions are perfect for a herringbone layout, which creates a dynamic, light-shifting effect that is very popular in modern design.
