Iridescent Glass Tiles July 25, 2009
Rainbows have always fascinated man. These phenomena combine beauty and mystery so that it is inevitable that it they should be associated with legends and myths from prehistoric times until today.
You can, however, capture this potent combination and lodge it in your living room, swimming pool, kitchen, or bathroom, thanks to iridescent glass tiles. These types of tiles are made of from 30 to 70% glass. It is this glass component that gives the tiles their iridescence, reflecting lustrous rainbow colors all over the place. Since most, if not all, of the glass come from waste bottles and other glass materials, these tiles are not only enchanting but also eco-friendly.
These tiles come in various shades such as gold, silver, blue, or pink. They are cut into 1″ x 1″ or 1″ x 2″, or in 1″- to 2″-ovals or circles. These are arranged in different designs and glued to either a mesh or paper making installation easy. A set may come in a single shade, or in a combination of different colors. This makes them even more eye-catching. As they reflect light, any bathroom or kitchen will surely come alive.
Beauty and quality have often come at a price. These tiles are no exception, so if you want those rainbows, and perhaps the pot of gold behind them, be ready to make some investment.
