The shiny luster of these shell tiles brings a translucent and enticing appearance wherever installed. The iridescent white tiles create this appealing kaleidoscope pattern shell tile that is timeless and neutral to fit many designs from classic to contemporary. The kaleidoscope pattern is combined with the exotic look of natural shell beauty to bring taste and richness to a design. Luxury shell tiles are characterized by their enchanting, shiny appearance. The flecks of different colors and pearlescent sheens in tile pick up light and add reflection to spaces. This is the perfect opulent backdrop to enlarge small spaces such as powder rooms or dark kitchens. Shell mosaics are suitable for a variety of indoor applications. A popular choice as a backsplash tile and accent wall tile, tiles can be used alone or mixed with other tiles. Dress up your walls with shell mosaics to have a luxurious, sea-inspired look in your home.
*This is a groutless tile, meaning the mosaic sheets do not need to be grouted between individual chips. Sheets can be laid side by side to find the best joins before adhering in place, or a small grout line may be added to fill in gaps between each 11.8" x 11.8" sheet.

If being used for a shower wall, what or if a sealer is needed?
This is a shell tile, which is non-porous and doesn't require sealing even in wet areas like a shower wall. It's also a low-grout tile, meaning that the only space you will need to grout are where the sheets fit together, or any small spaces in the sheets themselves. We recommend Laticrete Non-Sanded Grout (the color Bright White is the closest match). This grout base has Stonetech sealant already mixed in, so you won't need to seal the grout lines or the tile!
How do you install it?
We recommend using Laticrete 254 Platinum Ultimate One-Step Thin-Set Mortar as adhesive for Mother of Pearl tiles. Lay out tile sheets before applying the adhesive and place them side by side to see where they fit together with the smallest gaps. Experienced contractors may also choose to gently shave down the edges to reduce gaps between sheets.
While you do not need to grout between individual triangular pieces - making this a low-grout tile - you may apply a small grout line to fill in gaps between each 11.8" x 11.8" sheet.
We strongly recommend using Laticrete Non-sanded Grout in Bright White to preserve the color and luster of these tiles. DO NOT use a Sanded Grout. Make sure that grout is fully wiped up with a soft, damp cloth before it sets to avoid grout haze.
