Product Overview
Elysium Lady Mint 10.75" x 10.75" Glass Mosaic Tile brings a soothing botanical glow, fresh organic movement, and delicate pastel elegance to aquatic features, luxury showers, and accent walls. Part of Elysium Tile’s popular Lady (Circular) Series, Lady Mint features a playful "bubble" design composed of varying circle diameters rendered in a subtle multi-tonal mint palette—combining soft seafoam, pale pistachio, and light celadon green glass.
Engineered as a high-performance, pool-rated glass material, it is completely non-porous and rigorously tested to withstand continuous underwater immersion, harsh water-treatment chemicals, and extreme outdoor freeze-thaw cycles. When installed in pools, water features, or full-height shower walls, sunlight and water refract across the circular glass pieces to create a calm, luminous spa-like water sheen.

Recommended Applications
-
Swimming Pools & Waterline Borders: Designed for continuous water immersion, creating a soft, sea-glass green frame along pool waterlines, raised spillways, and sun shelf margins.
-
Full-Height Shower Walls & Spas: Creates a serene, spa-like sanctuary in master bathrooms and steam showers, where water droplets bounce light off the soft green glass circles.
-
Kitchen Backsplashes & Accent Walls: Adds subtle color and playful organic texture behind kitchen ranges, wet bars, and powder room vanities that wipe clean effortlessly.
Installation & Handling Guidelines
⚠️ CRITICAL: TRANSLUCENT GLASS MORTAR & INSTALLATION PROTOCOL
-
Bright White Glass Mortar Required: Translucent glass will show thinset color from behind. Always set using a high-performance bright white polymer-modified glass tile mortar (e.g., MAPEI Adesilex-P10with Keraply additive). Standard gray thinset will cause the light mint glass to look dark and discolored.
-
Trowel Ridge Flattening: Apply thinset with a 3/16" x 1/4" V-notch trowel, then knock down/flatten the mortar ridges with the smooth side of the trowel before setting the tile. This prevents trowel rake lines from showing through the translucent glass.
-
Box Shuffling for Randomization: Mix and shuffle sheets from multiple boxes prior to setting to ensure the soft seafoam, pistachio, and celadon circular pieces are distributed evenly across the surface.
-
Recommended Grout Options: Use high-performance flexible grouts like MAPEI Ultracolor Plus FA, MAPEI FlexColor CQ, or Bostik TruColor RapidCure. Use bright white to make each circle pop, or soft off-white/light gray for a gentle, seamless transition.
Care & Maintenance
-
Non-Porous Cleanliness: Impervious glass body naturally resists algae growth, scum buildup, mold, and chemical staining.
-
Routine Cleaning: Wash periodically using warm water and a neutral tile cleaner or mild liquid dish soap with a soft microfiber cloth or non-abrasive sponge.
-
Waterline Scale Care: Remove calcium scaling along pool waterlines with a mild, pool-safe glass tile descaler and a soft nylon brush. Avoid wire brushes that could scratch the glass.
Design Profile
-
Aesthetic Inspiration: Zen Botanical, Serene Spa, Soft Coastal, Modern Organic.
-
Visual Advantage: The varying circle sizes break up flat wall planes, while the delicate mint color tones introduce subtle warmth and light to wet spaces without overwhelming the room.
-
Complementary Finishes: Pairs beautifully with white pebble pool plaster, natural teak wood, light travertine decking, champagne bronze or brushed nickel fixtures, and white oak cabinetry.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Elysium "Lady Mint" and "Lady Turquoise"?
Lady Turquoise features a brighter, tropical sea color palette composed of vibrant turquoise, aquamarine, and icy blue. Lady Mint is softer and more botanical, using pastel seafoam green, pale pistachio, and celadon tones.
Is Lady Mint glass mosaic tile frost-proof for cold outdoor climates?
Yes. The glass is fully impervious to water absorption (0%), making it completely frost-proof and resistant to freeze-thaw cracking in cold regions.
Can this tile be used on shower floors?
While primarily specified for pool interiors, waterlines, and vertical walls, the small circular chips create frequent grout lines that provide underfoot traction in residential shower pan floors.
