Meta Versailles 11-3/4 in. x 11-3/4 in. x 8 mm Stainless Steel Metal Over Ceramic Mosaic Tile (0.96 sq. ft./Each)

My wife wanted a tile with a unique and nice design that incorporated Stainless Steel. We found this one and she loved it. It does have a very unique design which she likes very much. We read all of the reviews before purchasing and it seemed like the two things that many people had issues or concerns about was selecting the grout color and doing the grouting with the pieces made of resign that had the intrinsic design. Base on those reviews, we took the advice to utilize a charcoal color grout, which in all honesty matched perfectly, and we also decided to cover EACH little resin square in order to avoid getting grout on those tiles as well as potentially scratching them. The other recommendation was to make sure to utilize a NON-SANDED grout so that you would not scratch them. We opted for a NON-Sanded grout from Home Depot that was recommended in store by an associate that we were told would not scratch the tile. UNFORTUNATELY, with all the precautions, yes the Resin squares did not get damaged or full of grout, HOWEVER, many Stainless Steel tiles did in fact get scratched. We are very disappointed in all the planning, work and caution we took to have this result. I still recommend this tile, however, it would be our recommendation to completely cover every single square with painters tape, otherwise you will have scratched pieces. We did more than we thought we needed to do, and in all honesty, I think the major flaw in this tile, is the lack of conscience design from the manufacturer. For $21.00 (now, $24.99) a piece, you would think that it would have been designed for better and ease of installation. With that having been said, I think we would have looked for a different design, but I'm not sure because it is already installed and we really don't want to remove it and go through the whole process again, but we may end up doing that...

We did a kitchen remodel and this backsplash was the finishing touch! The pictures don’t do it justice.

I am a stained glass artist and absolutely enjoyed working with this tile along with three other stainless steel over ceramic tiles. I loved the ability to cut out what I wanted for my design and still use the rest in another section. It took about a month to create a one of a kind mosaic design back splash in my kitchen.

This tile worked great for an accent piece. I made it a focal point in my shower by framing it out and adding a glass liner. Grouting the tile can be a pain because have to clean it out of crevices but once it drive it wasn't that difficult. Thinking of using copper color in my other bathroom.

Everyone that sees it in my new kitchen comments on it... it's beautiful!!

Outstanding!! Looks great as a backsplash!

Pretty but overpriced

Really pretty tile when up. Using it as my fireplace tile.

Hubby and are are total DIYers and installed this tile ourselves. I'm not sure why people thought this was such a difficult tile to work with. It looks great and none of the veneer came off with grouting. We still have to do our haze wipe down in a couple hours and the detail still looks great.

They look like the ones we bought from another home improvement store, but the brand was different and the quality is not as good. The grout was impossible to completely remove from the non-stainless steel tiles due to the embossing. In trying to rub the remaining grout off, we have removed all of the silver colour - quite disappointing for such expensive tiles. It turned out to be a much more labour intensive project with a frustrating outcome.
