Description

Thinny-Penny U-Mix 3-Color Penny Round Assortment is a bundle of 3 separate penny tile colors (1/2-lb each) that you mix yourself to create a 1.5-lb assortment. The numbers in the assortment name indicate each color in the bundle.

Each 1/2-pound bag contains about 230+ pieces and covers about 1/3 of a square foot with a standard grout gap of 1/16 inch. That means the complete 1.5-lb assortment bundle should contain about 690+ pieces and cover about 1 square foot.

MORJO Thinny-Pennies Penny Round Recycled Glass Tiles have a glossy finish, and solid opaque color throughout (not just on the tops or bottoms). Unlike glass gems, another common round tile, Thinny-Pennies have a flat and even surface rather than puffed. This makes them much easier to use with other types of glass tile and easier to grout.

Recycled glass is a homogenous material made by fusing powdered glass. It has solid and consistent color all the way through and cuts cleanly and predictably using the Wheel-bladed Mosaic Glass Cutter. Hard, durable, and UV-resistant, it makes great material for commercial exteriors and murals.

Rough Bottoms for Improved Bonding

The bottoms of these tiles are left intentionally rough and chalky from manufacturing for better bonding strength. Rough, scratched, or etched glass surfaces bond more effectively than embossed ridges. Also, while embossed ridges can interfere with cutting, rough bottoms allow smooth controlled cutting.

Coverage

Each sales unit of 1.5 pounds covers about 1 square foot assuming a standard grout gap of 1/16 inch. Hard, durable, and UV-resistant, it makes great material for commercial exteriors and murals.

Grout Gap?

Note that dry indoor mosaics do not require grouting, and so for those you can simply mount the tiles tightly together. On the other hand, wet and outdoor mosaics must have grout to prevent water from penetrating behind the tiles. For those, leaving a 1/16-inch gap allows enough grout to adhere between the tiles.

Compatibility

Like most of the glass tile we sell, flat penny rounds have a nominal industry-standard thickness of 1/8 inch (4mm). You can use these with other brands of recycled glass and even vitreous glass tile.

Cutting Recycled Glass Thinny-Pennies

Recycled glass cuts like butter using the Mosaic Glass Cutters without creating a lot slivers or cutting waste.
