Stainless Steel Pebble Metal Mosaic Tile

What type of blade would you recommend using to cut these tiles?

Hello,

I would recommend the Rubi Tools Premium Glass Diamond Saw Blade. We carry the 10" in stock. https://www.tileclub.com/collections/rubi-tools/products/rubi-tools-10-inch-premium-glass-diamond-saw-blade.

After I place the sheet to the wall, do I put grout between the pebbles? The pictures online (which looks amazing) looks at bit different from the actual tile. The online pics looks like the space between the pebbles were filled with something--maybe grout?

Yes, unless a tile is specifically stated to be 'groutless' or low-grout, you will always grout between the individual tile chips. Once the tile sheets have been installed on your adhesive and it has time to cure (typically 24-48 hours), you'll grout over and between the tiles, wiping off excess as you go. Tile Club recommends non-sanded grout for metal tiles - the installation pictures on our website are shown with a gray grout like Laticrete Smoke Grey.

You can see more information on installing mosaic tiles like this one in our Mosaic Installation Guide.

How thick are these?

The sheet thickness is approximately 5/16"

Can mastic be used with this tile for a dry, accent backsplash? Or is only Laticrete 254 recommended for any installation?

We usually recommend Laticrete thinset because it is the most versatile in terms of area and placement. Mastic is typically recommended for a smaller range of materials, but this particular mosaic does have a backing that will securely bond with the mastic and it can be used as a dry backsplash adhesive for our metal mosaic tile.

Hi there can this be used in the shower wall? Which grout do you recommend that is in the photo?

This tile can be used on a shower wall - it has a brushed look but stainless steel can still show water spots if you don't wipe it dry. Please use only stainless steel-approved cleaners. 

We always recommend a non-sanded grout for metal tiles to avoid scratches during the grouting process. You can check out Laticrete Smoke Gray or Sterling Silver non-sanded grout color kits for close matches. Please make sure to test a small section of the grout in an out of the way corner or on a sample to make sure you like the combination of grout color and tile together before applying to the entire area.

Is it magnetic?

This tile is not magnetized

Can it be used outside as a backsplash for a BBQ?

We do not recommend this tile for exterior use. If you want a metallic BBQ backsplash, I would recommend a porcelain tile with a metallic finish, like our Silver Buttons or Ionic Steel tiles. These are a great outdoor option as the porcelain will wear well even with the changes in weather conditions.

Can this tile be used as a backsplash behind the stove?

Thank you for your question. Yes, this product may be used as a back splash behind the stove. Stainless steel is easy to clean, making this metal tile perfect for areas that are prone to spills or splatters, like an industrial kitchen backsplash behind the stove. If you love a modern metallic design, this pairs perfectly with stainless steel appliances like your oven or fridge, or even in a laundry room to pair with a metallic washer and dryer! Silver metallic light fixtures also greatly complement the inherent texture of this gorgeous penny tile.
