These are great looking tiles. The only problem is that like all glass tiles, I guess, they break and chip easily during installation. I hope they will last long.
I have been looking at tiles for my kitchen backsplash for one year and finally found them at COOL TILES. I went to every tile store in my neighborhood and looked at almost every web site. I think I know every company that makes glass tiles. I started by ordering samples[recommend highly]. I chose Diamond Tech tiles because they had iridescent tiles in a variety of sizes [different sizes are hard to find--I searched a long time]. I chose sky luminous, snow luminous and bright blue[which is a deep royal and not iridescent]. I chose sizes 4"x4", 2"x2", 2"x6". I designed my backsplash and I am proud of it. The snow luminous looks like mother of pearl and the sky luminous looks like the bluest sky covered in an iridescent rainbow of purples and aqua greens. The bright blue 2"x2" coordinate well with my dark blue quartz countertop. I received the tiles quickly and in perfect condition. The price was right too. I am so glad I found and ordered the tiles from COOL TILES. Thank you. Please see pictures.
I used this tile as a liner on my tub surround and backsplash, and it is great! I paired it with the Fog Sky Blue from Vidrepur. I really love the look. This tile is a little thicker than a lot of mosaic tile, and it has a pretty stained glass quality (kind of striated). Very nice quality, and the color is much like it appears (a nice, warm brown).
