Description
The DRAGONFLY Dark Iridescent 12mm Assortment is an aquatic themed mix of Morjo™ Recycled 12mm Iridescent Glass Mosaic Tile. It features deep shades of blue, purple, teal, green, and brown with silvery greys. This 1-lb assortment should have about 320+ loose tiles. The tiles have a glossy finish, and solid opaque color throughout.
Recycled glass tiles cut cleanly into tiny pieces with minimal waste, making them an ideal material for micro mosaic artwork and murals alike. Their hardness, durability, and UV-resistant quality also make them suitable for commercial building exteriors. The fusing process for making these tiles from powdered recycled glass is referred to as “warm glass” or “enamel glass” or “pate de verre.”

Coverage
One pound (~320 tiles) covers 91 square inches or 0.6 square feet assuming a standard grout gap of 1/16 inch. You need about 508 tiles (1.6 pounds) to cover one square foot assuming a standard grout gap of 1/16 inch. You need about 645 tiles (2 pounds) for a square foot assuming no grout gap. Use our tile estimator to calculate how much you need for your grouted project.
Mounting Tiles
Weldbond adhesive works well for mounting dry indoor mosaics. However, for outdoor and wet mosaics, use thinset mortar. Use a Mounting grids to plan your design.
Compatibility
