Pearl Frost Mosaic Radiance Wall Tile

The individual chips come pre-mounted on a mesh or paper backing, so you fix a whole sheet at a time rather than placing each piece. Comb white glass-rated adhesive onto the wall, bed the sheet in, and tamp it flat with a grout float.

The important part is the joins. Keep the gap between sheets exactly the same as the gaps between chips within a sheet, otherwise the grid lines will be visible as stripes across the finished wall once it is grouted.

Yes, and it is one of the better choices for a shower tray or wet room floor. The high number of grout joints across the surface gives significantly more grip than a large flat tile.

Mosaic sheets are also easy to work into a fall towards the drain because the mesh backing flexes. For a shower floor, use a waterproof or epoxy grout and confirm the fall and waterproofing details with your installer.

Usually far less than a standard tile. You can often cut the mesh backing with a utility knife between chips to fit a sheet to length, which avoids cutting glass altogether.

Where you do need a part chip, score and snap it with a glass cutter or use mosaic nippers. Because the cut edges are small and mostly hidden in the grout joint, mosaic is a forgiving format for awkward or non-square spaces.

Glass mosaic is usually a deliberate blend of several tones, so a single small sample shows the palette but not the rhythm of the whole wall. Colour is also affected by the light in your room and by the grout you choose.

For this reason we recommend a free cut sample, and where possible laying two or three sheets out together before you commit. You are also welcome to see the full sheets in our Ascot showroom.

At 305 x 305 x 8mm, each sheet covers roughly 0.093m², which works out at about 10.75 sheets per square metre.

To work out your order: multiply the height by the width of each area you are tiling to get the total square metres, multiply that figure by 10.75, then round up to the nearest full sheet. Add 10% on top for cuts and breakages.

If you would rather not do the sums, send us the dimensions of your space and we will confirm the quantity — and if you are close to a box quantity we will tell you, as it is often cheaper to take the full box. Free cut samples are available, and you are welcome to see the range in our Ascot showroom.
