Where they work best (and where to avoid)
| Area | Suitability | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Shower walls & niches | Excellent | Use white adhesive and non-sanded/superfine grout. |
| Bathroom feature walls | Excellent | Position lighting to enhance iridescence. |
| Kitchen splashbacks | Excellent | Seal edges neatly with tile trim. |
| Floors / high-impact areas | Not recommended | Shell is decorative and best on walls. |
Installation essentials (read before fitting)
- Adhesive: Use an epoxy-based or manufacturer-approved white adhesive/primer to preserve colour.
- Grout: Choose non-sanded/superfine grout to protect the shell surface.
- Cutting: Score gently and use fine tools; test off-cuts first.
- Substrate: Ensure a smooth, dry surface; avoid uneven backdrops that telegraph through thin sheets.
- Aftercare: Clean with pH-neutral products; avoid abrasives.

Yes — they’re perfect for shower walls when fitted with the correct adhesive and non-sanded/superfine grout. Always use white adhesive to preserve the pearl tone.
What grout should I use?
Use a non-sanded or superfine grout to protect the surface. Test a small area first to confirm the final colour.
Are shell mosaics suitable for floors?
They’re decorative and best suited to walls and features. We don’t recommend them for floors or high-impact areas.
How do I cut and finish edges?
Score gently, use fine tools, and finish with a neat tile trim for a clean edge.

Wipe with pH-neutral cleaner and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh or abrasive products.
