Golden Scallops: The Vitreum Aurum Fan Tile

Introduce a sense of rhythmic opulence to your space with the Metallic Vitreum Aurum Fan Tile—a captivating 'fish scale' design that blends mid-century glamour with a deep, radiant gold finish.

The Aurum Fan is a highlight of the Fired Earth Metallic collection, offering a fluid, organic alternative to standard geometric tiling. The fan shape—synonymous with Art Deco luxury—creates an interlocking pattern that resembles shimmering golden waves. Each tile is produced using high-clarity glass with a precious-metal gold foil bonded to the reverse. This technique allows light to travel through the glass and reflect off the gold backing, creating a "liquid metal" effect that adds incredible warmth and depth to your walls. Whether used to create a boutique feature wall or an extravagant splashback, the Aurum Fan is the ultimate choice for a high-end, designer finish.


✓ Why Choose Aurum Fan?

  • Timeless Fan Silhouette - A scalloped "fish scale" shape that adds architectural interest and movement to any wall.
  • Deep Gold Radiance - Premium gold foil backing provides a warm, opulent glow that never tarnishes.
  • Reflective Glass Body - The polished glass surface amplifies light, making even small rooms feel brighter and more expansive.
  • Artisanal Modernity - A perfect marriage of traditional shape and cutting-edge metallic glass technology.

⚠️ Professional Installation Tips

To ensure a flawless result with Aurum Fan Glass:

  • Adhesive: Use only a high-bond white glass tile adhesive. Grey adhesives will dull the gold foil and spoil the reflection.
  • Complex Cutting: Because of the curved fan shape, a wet saw with a diamond blade specifically for glass is essential for clean edges.
  • Grout Advice: We recommend a fine, non-sanded grout. This ensures that the polished glass surface is not scratched during application.
  • Wastage: We suggest a 15% wastage allowance to account for the intricate interlocking pattern and border cuts.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

How do you determine the orientation of the fan?

There is no "right" way—it depends on your design preference. Installing them with the "peak" pointing upwards creates a traditional Art Deco fan pattern. Pointing them downwards creates a contemporary "fish scale" or teardrop effect. Both layouts are equally stunning and catch the light beautifully.

Is the gold finish real metal?

The effect is achieved with a high-grade metallic foil bonded to the reverse of the glass. This provides a much more intense and stable gold colour than standard paint, giving the tile its premium luster while being fully protected by the glass body.

Can these be used in a wet room?

Yes, they are suitable for all interior wall applications, including shower enclosures and wet rooms. Ensure the wall substrate is fully waterproofed (tanked) and that a specialist glass adhesive is used.

How do I clean gold glass tiles?

Use a soft cloth with warm soapy water or a standard non-abrasive glass cleaner. The gloss surface is non-porous and very easy to maintain, but avoid scouring pads which could scratch the polished finish over time.
