Mosaics by Elysium Tiles

Shell mosaic tile collection

Shell is a glass series with a shell-inspired surface design, mostly in blues with grey and silver options. It covers several formats: Aura Shell planks at 4 × 24 in, Casale Shell multi-size subway sheets, the Aladdin Shell arabesque, Dragon Scale Shell, and Subway Shell Blue, which pairs blue glass with blue aluminum. One design uses 3 × 6 in chips. It is interior wall material for a kitchen backsplash, a bath wall or a shower niche, where light moving across the glass is easy to see.

02Designing with it

Working with Shell

Two cautions come with this series. Elysium states that the glass is not rated for fireplaces or anywhere close to open flame, and that it is for indoor installation only, since direct sunlight can discolor it. Keep it off walls that take strong afternoon sun through a window. Set it on a white glass-tile thin-set; Elysium points to Mapei Adesilex P10 in bright white. Suggested grouts are Bostik Dimension Diamond H600, Moonstone H670 or Aquamarine H660, depending on the color.

FAQ

Shell, answered

Still deciding? Call +1 (213) 776-0000 or send us your plan.

Can Shell glass tile be used around a fireplace?
No. Elysium states that the Shell glass mosaics are not rated for fireplaces or for walls close to an open flame. For a fireplace surround, look at the marble collections instead, several of which Elysium lists for that use.
Is Shell suitable for outdoor walls?
No. Elysium specifies indoor installation only, because sunlight can discolor this glass. Inside the house, avoid walls in direct sun as well, and choose a kitchen, bath or niche where the light is softer.
How do I get samples of Shell mosaics?
Open any sheet in the collection and press "Request a sample / quote", or use the form on this page. You can also see Elysium Tiles mosaics at our Glendale showroom — ask about current availability and lead time.
