Mother of Pearl Mosaic Tiles Amalfi Cream

Mother of Pearl Mosaic Tiles Amalfi Cream – shimmering natural material in a herringbone pattern

Mother of pearl is one of the most beautiful materials nature produces. The Mother of Pearl Mosaic Tiles Amalfi Cream show genuine shell material in a creamy white that shimmers in delicate rainbow colours depending on the light. Arranged in a classic herringbone pattern, the small pieces look as if woven and give the wall a fine, elegant texture. As each piece comes from nature, colour and shimmer vary slightly – which makes every surface unique.

Material and format

Amalfi Cream is made of genuine natural shell (mother of pearl). The sheets measure 300 x 300 mm and are only 2 mm thick. Due to the low thickness the mosaic is very light, so a smooth and level substrate is important. Natural colour differences between the pieces are intentional and not a defect.

Where does Amalfi Cream fit?

Amalfi Cream is a wall tile for indoor use. In the bathroom it adds elegant accents outside the shower, for example behind the washbasin or in an illuminated niche. As a kitchen splashback or feature wall in the living area, it brings a delicate shine into the room. Mother of pearl is also popular for inlays in furniture, jewellery boxes or headboards. The cream goes wonderfully with white, beige, brass and light wood.

Installation and grouting

Use a white tile adhesive so that the light colour of the mother of pearl is not altered, and lay the sheets carefully on a smooth, level substrate. Grout gently with a light grout and quickly remove residues with a soft sponge.

Cleaning and care

Clean mother of pearl with a soft, damp cloth and a mild cleaner. Abrasive agents should not be used, as they can impair the shine.

Goes well with

For a glossy contrast, Amalfi Cream can be combined with Glass Mosaic Ragusa Gold 23, for example as a narrow border next to the mother of pearl surface.
