Product Overview
Elysium Lady Ocean 10.75" x 10.75" Glass Mosaic Tile brings the vibrant, dynamic motion of the open sea to aquatic features, luxury showers, and accent walls. Part of Elysium Tile’s popular Lady (Circular) Series, Lady Ocean features an organic "bubble" design made of varying circle diameters rendered in a multi-tone blue palette—combining light azure, mid-tone cerulean, and deep navy glass.
Engineered as a high-performance, pool-rated glass material, it is fully non-porous and tested to handle continuous underwater submersion, harsh water-treatment chemicals, and 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 shimmering, liquid-like "watercolor" effect.

Recommended Applications
-
Swimming Pools & Waterline Borders: Designed for continuous water immersion, creating a luminous, deep-water ocean frame along pool waterlines, raised spillways, and sun shelf margins.
-
Full-Height Shower Walls & Spas: Creates a spa-like wall treatment in master bathrooms and steam showers, where water droplets bounce light off the multi-tone glass circles.
-
Kitchen Backsplashes & Coastal Accents: Adds playful texture and rich sea-inspired color behind ranges and kitchen prep areas 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 blue glass to look muddy 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 glass.
-
Box Shuffling for Randomization: Mix and shuffle sheets from multiple boxes prior to setting to ensure the light, mid, and dark blue 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 silver or warm gray for a soft aquatic feel, or bright white to make each circle pop.
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: Organic Coastal, Resort Spa, Tropical Lagoon, Modern Aquatic.
-
Visual Advantage: The varying circle sizes break up flat wall planes, while the multi-tone blue color gradient gives the illusion of flowing, underwater depth.
-
Complementary Finishes: Pairs beautifully with white pebble or light blue pool plaster, light travertine pool decking, brushed nickel fixtures, and white oak cabinetry.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Elysium "Lady Ocean" and "Lady Blue"?
Lady Blue features a more uniform, saturated blue tone throughout. Lady Ocean uses a multi-tone gradient (azure, cerulean, and dark navy) to create more visual contrast and water movement.
Is Lady Ocean 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 traction underfoot in residential shower pan floors.
