Silver Foil & Platinum-Layered Glass Squares
Our glass tiles feature genuine silver or platinum leaf hand-laid beneath a clear glass surface. The metal foil gleams through the glass’s transparency, creating a refined sparkle without any iridescent color shifts—just pure metallic radiance.

Installation & Grouting
-
Substrate Prep: Ensure a clean, flat, fully cured surface (cement backer in wet areas).
-
Adhesive: Use a white, polymer-modified thinset to prevent any discoloration under clear glass.
-
Grout: Choose non-sand epoxy or fine-grain cement grout in white or light gray to complement the metallic finish.
-
Sealing: No sealant needed for the glass itself; seal grout joints to preserve color and simplify cleaning.
Care & Maintenance
-
Daily Cleaning: Wipe with a soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge and a mild, pH-neutral cleaner.
-
Stain Removal: Gently scrub with a baking-soda paste; rinse thoroughly.
-
Avoid: Acidic, abrasive, or bleach-based cleaners that can dull grout or damage the metal leaf.
