Embrace the radiant warmth of the Terra Ellipse Mosaic. This premium recycled glass tile is a masterful study in earthy color, featuring elongated, pill-shaped ellipses in a curated palette of soft terracotta, dusty rose, and warm clay.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

⚠️ CRITICAL: To ensure the warm terracotta tones remain true and vibrant, you must use a Bright White Thin-set. Using a dark or standard grey mortar will dull the glass and can cause the "Terra" hues to appear muddy or shadowed.

Manufacturer Recommendations:

• Recommended Thin-set: A latex-modified thin-set or a premium white glass tile mortar (such as MAPEI Adesilex-P10) to ensure maximum bond strength and color clarity.

• Suggested Grout: * Warm Neutral: Use a "Sandstone" or "Sahara Beige" grout to complement the earthy tones for a seamless look.

  • High Contrast: Use "Bright White" to accentuate the individual ellipse shapes and create a bold, graphic pattern.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

• Can this be used on floors? It is rated for light-duty residential floors, such as bathrooms or powder rooms where soft footwear is used. However, it is most popular as a high-impact wall tile.

• Is it suitable for a shower? Absolutely. The impervious nature of the glass makes it perfect for shower walls and backsplashes.

• How do I cut this tile? Due to the recycled glass composition, it is highly recommended to use a wet saw with a diamond blade specifically designed for glass to prevent chipping.

PRO INSTALLATION TIPS

• Mind the Ridges: Use a small notch trowel and flatten the mortar ridges before setting the tile. This prevents the "comb lines" from showing through the translucent parts of the glass.

• Grout Timing: Glass tiles can be scratched by leftover grout grit. Use a soft, non-abrasive sponge and clean the tiles thoroughly as you work to maintain the pristine glossy finish.

• Layout Check: Before applying mortar, "dry lay" several sheets to ensure the elliptical pattern flows naturally and that the mesh edges interlock perfectly for a seamless transition.
