Our red penny tiles are 20 mm-diameter, waterglass-based glass mosaics with a luxurious metallic sheen—perfect for bringing depth and luster to any surface. Each coin-sized tile is backed with genuine gold foil, creating a subtle glow from beneath the vibrant red body.
Materials & Finishes
-
Waterglass Construction
Pigment fused into molten glass yields exceptionally rich, uniform color and a tactile feel unique to this process. -
Iridescent Surface
A fine metallic wash atop the glass refracts light into shifting red-pink highlights, ideal for accent walls or feature inlays. -
Matte Finish Option
For a contemporary, velvety look, choose the no-sheen version—still backed with gold foil but with understated, soft-touch appeal.
Design & Installation
-
Sheet Format
Mounted on 300 × 300 mm mesh sheets for rapid, precise setting. -
Pattern Versatility
The 20 mm circles bend around curves effortlessly—great for round niches, curved counters, or integrative mosaics. Lay in straight grid, offset bond, or custom shapes to suit your design. -
Grout Recommendations
Use a light-gray, white, or matching-red grout to either contrast or blend; 1/16″ joints best showcase the gold-foil “halo” effect beneath each tile.
Applications & Benefits
-
Backsplashes & Accent Walls
The gold-foil underlay adds warmth to kitchens, while iridescence gives bathroom vanities a jewel-box look. -
Shower Floors & Walls
Glass’s non-porous nature plus tight grout joints makes these penny tiles highly water-resistant. The matte finish adds slip safety underfoot. -
Feature Floors & Niches
Create pop-color borders or fully tiled zones that catch light dynamically as you move.
Care & Maintenance
Gently clean with a pH-neutral, non-abrasive tile cleaner and soft cloth. Avoid acidic or strongly alkaline products to protect both the glass surface and the gold-foil backing.
