What is Iridescent Glass Tile?
Before choosing an iridescent glass tile for your next project – either for a kitchen backsplash, swimming pool, or bathroom- make sure to understand the properties of such material.
The main characteristic of iridescent glass tiles – iridescence, also known as goniochromism, is that they appear to change color depending on the angle of view or illumination. A soap bubble is a classic example of an iridescence effect.
Applications:
Iridescent glass tiles, primarily mosaic tiles, can be used in many applications; however, the brighter the room is, the more the iridescence effect will play into the design. This type of tile is commonly used to cover swimming pools, some showers, and backsplashes where natural light is abundant.
Samples:
Once you have decided to use iridescent glass tile, choose the color and size that fits better with your project. Also, consider ordering sample swatches before committing to purchase large quantities since it is hard to represent their right color on a picture.
Mixed with other finishes or materials:
If you like the iridescence effect of the tile but think it is too much for the entire area to be covered, consider looking for a mosaic tile that blends iridescent, frosted, and clear glass or even natural stone tiles.
