damaged imitation gold

Imitation Gold DAMAGED 3/4-Inch WAVY 8 sheets. This product is 8 SHEETS with incidental shipping damage from the factory. The incidental damage in most sheets is a few tiles with chipped corners, but some sheets have some tiles with scratches on the back (from the glass chips that moved around. Many customers might be able to use all of the tiles. The standard product is described below:

Imitation Gold Mosaic Glass WAVY 20mm (3/4 Inch) is SILVER (Ag) alloy leaf fused under hand-cut glass and sold in sheets of 49 tiles mounted on removable clear film (1/4 square foot). These are what some competitors are selling as real gold mosaic (shame, shame), but they are great for what they are: a beautiful and economical alternative to real gold mosaic.

These are hand-cut tiles, but they are fairly square and uniform for the most part. Note that the backs are coated with a yellow epoxy to inhibit oxidation from tarnishing the silver foil.

Colored Glass Mirror Tile 15mm BULK CUTTING STRIPS 1 Pound

BULK Cutting Strips of Colored Glass Mirror Tile 15mm are 1 pound bags of about 200 tiles on clear plastic film. These are strips 2-tiles wide and not square sheets. Strip length varies up to approximately 1 foot – see pics. Also included are the few tiles that fall off the strips. These are a great way to buy the mirror tiles in bulk. Supplies are limited.

We also have a bulk salvage colored mirror tile rainbow mix.

BULK Cutting Strips Colored Glass Mirror Tile 15mm

  • tile size: 9/16 inch (15mm)
  • thickness: 1/8 nominal (4mm)
  • sales unit: 1 pound (~200) tiles temporarily mounted face down on clear plastic film
  • material: glass
  • variety: translucent colored glass with slight ripples and bubbles in the surface for an artistic look
  • pigments: colorfast, UV resistant
  • durability: impervious to liquid

Advantages of Our Colored Glass Tile

Colored Glass Mirror Tile 15mm is high-quality tile suitable for architectural installation indoors and outdoors. Unlike the cheap crafting tiles sold by our competitors, the silver is more securely bonded into the back side of the glass, and the glass itself is actually pigmented. (Exceptions: Gilt, Metallic, Brass, etc., where the metallic color comes from the alloy of silver on the back). Surface coatings on competitors’ products scratch easily off of their cheap clear glass. The foil on their product also comes off the glass when cutting the tiles. Not so with our mirror tile. You can cut them with confidence. Read our warning about the inferior mirror tile sold by competitors.

Limitations of Use

The manufacturer says that swimming pools are acceptable, but these are a new product, and long-term test data for use in pools does not exist. (Use in pools would be at customer risk and require best practices for grouting and sealing.)

  • Install INDOORS for longest life.
  • OUTDOOR use should be ok, but avoid high chlorine and sulfur environments and cleaning with acid.
  • Product has been tested in UV sunlight and installed in low and high temperature locations with no problems observed to date.
  • Avoid using mounting mesh.
  • Avoid using in environments high in chlorine or sulfur.
  • Our opinion is that these could last a long time in an outdoor mosaic patio table if thoroughly sealed, but these are a new product and aging over years and decades is unknown.

Coverage

With a standard grout gap of approximately 1/16 inch, one sheet of 36 tile will cover approximately 0.11 square foot. Nine (9) sheets covers 1 square feet.

Compatibility

Tile thickness is 1/8 inch nominal, the same as most of the glass mosaic tile we sell, which means that these can be used with other types and brands.

Cutting Colored Glass Mirror Tile

We recommend using the wheel-blade Mosaic Glass Cutter we sell to cut these and other types of glass mosaic tile. Unlike the cheaply made mirror-tiles sold be competitors, these tiles can be cut without causing the silver to fall of the glass.

Colored Glass Mirror Tile in Mosaic Art

These are mirror tiles, but there is waviness in the glass and silver which make the reflections distorted compared to a normal flat mirror. The purpose of the mirror is in these tiles is to reflect light not distinct images. Do not order if that is a problem. There is a fairly complete color palette available, and so an artist could render and image using only these mirror tiles, but they can be used with standard-finish varieties of glass tile.
