What Is A Mother Of Pearl Tile?
Bet you didn’t think that shells will find a way
into your home as a decor, right? Truth is, you’ll be contributing to the
preservation of Mother Earth when you choose to go green with shell tiles. They
make your floor or wall extraordinarily lustrous and natural-looking.
Have you ever heard of mother of pearl? Well it’s
the shiny inner surface of shells particularly abalone, oysters and so on.
Mother of pearl tile, also known by its other name - shell mosaic tile, is
one hundred percent natural, and polished and processed by hand. A skilled craftsman can actually turn these
materials into different forms like scallops, spirals, snails, among others. Fortunately,
they come in wide range of colour, lustre and size.
Why Shell Tiles?
More and more people now
prefer shell mosaics for their distinct classic beauty that no other tile
material can provide. Perfect as a kitchen tile accent and as a bathroom tile
backsplash, said products will give your bathroom or kitchen the iridescence
and lustre of mother of pearl.
The materials could really be
affordable hence if you want a full iridescent wall but, are kind of
short of budget, the wise use of shell mosaic tiles can add sparkle to an
accent. Make your home shine with them including your side table, mirror frames
and the like.
Uses Of Mother Of Pearl Mosaic Tiles
Of course we are quite aware
that these items go well for exterior (like in canopies or porch covers) and
interior walls as well. Also good for interior floors with light traffic, shell
mosaics are widely used in tabletops, countertops, shower walls, bathroom
backsplashes, tub surroundings, even ceilings. Add glamour and extra shimmer to
your bathroom by installing a feature strip of shell mosaics, without hurting
your pocket.
These
days, modern hotels, offices, bars, company halls, exclusive clubs, sports
centres are decorated with mother of pearl tiles. In homes, these items give
that extra sparkle not only to walls and ceilings but also to domes, columns,
lavatories, garden landscapes and swimming pools.
