ATLA reader Genevieve Haines turned us onto these unique handcrafted Standing Pebble Tiles composed of tumbled marble, pebble, polished pebbles or graveled pebble from Los Angeles architectural retailer, Zation Stone. The natural interlocking 12"x12" tiles are advertised as suitable for both interior and exterior use, and flooring, walls, ceilings, walkways, fireplaces, patios, bathrooms floors, showers, gardens, decorative accents and are available in Bali Black Grey, Maluku Tan, Taipei Green, Sumatra Black, Ocalla Berry, Panu and White Timor. Stacking Flat Stone is available in four colors: Kutu White, Merak, Yucatan Brown and Palmero Cream.
No prices listed, but they're listed as available thru retailers such as The Great Indoors and Emser Tile and Natural Stone. We're already imagining the soothing and massaging feel of these pebble tiles...ahhhhhhh [blissful smile]. Rock on!
Very cool tile. You might want to check out some of the comments we had on AT:SF about it -- click on my name for the link.
What about the growth of mold and mildew? Won't it get icky over time?
yeah, can you imagine trying to clean between all those stones? it looks great but not sure how practical it is.
i've installed the standing pebble myself, on a wall in a studio in my house. it is designed to be installed without grout (just with thinset) and you can clean it with either a vinegar solution, a mild detergent, or a hydrochloric acid solution mixed with water - also use a stiff bristled brush to clean. if you are set on using it in a wet environment and are worried about cleaning, you can also grout it, though it looks best to wipe the grout down so it is not as high as the stones (preserves the look of the pebbles). or...use it in a dry environment - for instance, around a fireplace or all over a small wall (that's what i did and it is gor...geous!!!)
Those tiles look expensive...I love them.
