About this material

metal glass tiles

These glossy metal glass tiles have smooth surfaces in gold, silver, copper or dark chrome. The material is 8mm thick crystal glass, forged at about 800° C. After forging the glass acquires a light reflection effect, caused by the gentle undulations of the surface. The tile edges are rounded as a result of partial melting of material. The metal is applied by electric ionisation in a vacuum chamber at constant temperature. A protective resin is applied which is suitable to be used with normal adhesives for ceramic tiles. On the surface of floor tiles a thin layer of glass powder is melted to achieve anti-slide and anti-scratch properties.
