Aquatica Cobalt 1"x2" Glass Mosaic Tile 12"x12" - Striped Collection

Bring architectural interest and luminous depth to any room with the Aquatica Cobalt 1"x2" Glass Mosaic Tile from the Striped Collection. This richly pigmented, deep blue glass mosaic delivers contemporary sophistication with the practical durability of impervious Grade 1 glass, making it equally suited to statement-making shower surrounds, kitchen backsplashes, accent walls, and even water features.

• Material & Thickness: Premium Grade 1 glass, 6mm thick for structural integrity with a streamlined profile that integrates seamlessly into existing surfaces
• Tile Format & Sheet Size: 1"x2" rectangular tiles arranged on a 12"x12" mesh-backed sheet, enabling faster, more consistent installation than individual piece placement
• Finish & Appearance: Glossy surface with striped design pattern that creates visual movement and texture while reflecting light to brighten smaller spaces
• Water Resistance: Less than 0.5% water absorption (impervious rating), completely frost-resistant, and suitable for indoor and outdoor applications without degradation or mold growth
• Grout Specifications: Minimal 1/16" grout joint creates an almost seamless, polished aesthetic while preventing debris accumulation
• Maintenance: Non-porous glass resists stains, fingerprints, and grease; requires only a damp cloth for showroom-fresh cleaning
• Installation Method: Mesh backing allows sheet-based installation using latex-modified thinset mortar for optimal bond strength and flexibility

The rectangular 1"x2" format eliminates the flat, uniform appearance of single-size mosaics, adapting beautifully to herringbone patterns, traditional layouts, or custom arrangements depending on your design vision. This striped mosaic performs flawlessly in moisture-heavy environments where natural stone would stain or degrade—making it ideal for steam showers, backsplashes behind cooking surfaces, and fountain accents. Pair the cobalt blue with white cabinetry for coastal elegance, gray fixtures for modern minimalism, or warm wood tones for unexpected contrast. The glossy finish's light-reflecting properties prevent the deep color from feeling heavy, maintaining a refined, sophisticated aesthetic that commands attention without overwhelming the space.
