Fish scale tiles, trendy and chic
Have you ever heard of fish scale tiles? These tiles are also called umbrella tiles. This makes sense, as that is precisely the shape of these chic wall tiles.
The round shape of ceramic fish scale tiles radiates a warm atmosphere. They look beautiful on a kitchen wall above the counter, in a child's room, in the hall as wainscoting, on the back wall of a fireplace, toilet, or in hospitality/retail settings to highlight certain wall sections or a bar.
Using fish scale tiles
Most people place these umbrella-shaped tiles with the point facing downwards, but the other way around is also possible. Even rotating them a quarter turn is an option, but less common. Mixing colors creates a playful effect. Shades of green, purple/old rose, and ocean blue also work well. We find mixing within one color to be the most beautiful. Especially fish scale tiles in multiple shades of green provide a luxurious look.
Cutting ceramic fish scale tiles
Are there any disadvantages? Yes, the tiles are more difficult to install if you have walls with corners. It requires a lot of precise cutting. The point is very fragile when cutting. Make sure you have a special grinding disc for ceramic tiles or opt for water-jet cutting. Do you have a wall where you are flexible and/or employ an experienced tiler? Then it should definitely work.
Buying fish scale tiles
In summary, these fish scale tiles are very unique, atmospheric, and chic, especially in smaller areas. Make sure to use an experienced tiler to install the tiles.
