Golden Sophistication: The Vitreum Aurum Arabesque Tile

Transform your walls into a shimmering masterpiece with the Metallic Vitreum Aurum Arabesque Tile—where timeless Moorish architecture meets the radiant glow of precious metal.

Part of the prestigious Fired Earth Metallic collection, the Aurum Arabesque is designed for those who seek the ultimate statement in luxury. The iconic lantern silhouette creates a sophisticated interlocking pattern that softens the lines of a room, providing a sense of movement and architectural interest. Each tile is produced from high-grade glass with a specialized gold metallic foil bonded to the reverse side. This "back-lit" effect allows light to penetrate the glass and bounce off the gold surface, creating a warm, multi-dimensional glow that changes as you move through the space. Perfect for creating a high-impact focal point in boutique bathrooms, glamorous kitchens, or elegant entrance halls.


✓ Why Choose Aurum Arabesque?

  • Exquisite Lantern Shape - An elegant, interlocking arabesque format that adds designer flair and curves to any flat surface.
  • Deep Metallic Radiance - The gold foil backing provides a rich, opulent color that stays vibrant and tarnish-free.
  • Luminous Glass Surface - A high-gloss polished finish that amplifies light and creates an illusion of depth.
  • Stain & Water Resistant - The non-porous glass body is as practical as it is beautiful, perfect for wet and splash zones.

⚠️ Professional Installation Tips

For the best results with Arabesque Gold Glass:

  • Adhesive: You MUST use a high-bond white glass adhesive. Standard grey adhesive will darken the gold and spoil the effect.
  • Precision Cutting: We recommend a wet saw with a specialist diamond blade for glass to manage the intricate curves of the arabesque shape.
  • Grout Advice: Use a non-sanded grout to prevent scratching the polished surface of the glass during application.
  • Substrate: Ensure your wall is perfectly flat; the reflective nature of gold glass will highlight any irregularities.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

How many tiles should I order for the arabesque shape?

Due to the interlocking nature of the lantern shape, there is more cutting involved at the edges compared to standard square tiles. We strongly recommend adding a 15% wastage allowance to your order.

Is the gold colour real metal?

The effect is created by a high-tech metallic foil bonded to the back of the glass. This gives the visual appearance of solid gold or gold leaf but offers the durability and moisture resistance of glass.

Can I use these behind a gas hob?

Yes, glass tiles are heat resistant and suitable for kitchen splashbacks. We recommend leaving a small expansion gap (2mm) at the bottom and top of the installation to account for natural thermal expansion.

How do I clean these tiles?

Simply use a soft cloth with warm soapy water or a standard glass cleaner. Avoid any abrasive pads or harsh chemicals, which could scratch the polished glass surface over time.
