If you're looking for a tile that delivers instant wow-factor, you've just found it. The Green Crackle Fish Scale Mosaic isn't just a tile, it's a statement. Whether you're transforming a bathroom, upgrading a kitchen splashback, or adding a unique twist to a fireplace surround, this one brings depth, movement, and rich colour into your space.
Why Fish Scale?
Known also as “mermaid tiles,” this scallop shape brings a soft, curved elegance that breaks away from harsh lines and square edges. It’s especially popular with Irish homeowners right now who are craving something a bit different, but still timeless.
When used properly, fish scale tiles can add that subtle nod to heritage style, or go bold and modern depending on your grout and layout choice. It’s versatile and always eye-catching.
Green Crackle – Irish Charm in Every Piece
The green gloss crackle glaze on this tile has that deep, moody richness that suits Ireland’s natural light beautifully. It shifts tone subtly throughout the day, richer in shadow, brighter in sun, and pairs perfectly with brass, oak, dark stone, or off-white grout.
Think lush green hedgerows, vintage glass bottles, or sea-sprayed coastal towns, this colour just fits the Irish palette.

Installer’s Insight:
We have been working with tilers who laid these in everything from Dublin townhouses to boutique guesthouses in Kerry, and they never fail to impress. Our advice?
- Use a neutral grout to keep the focus on the shape and colour.
- Or go bold with a contrasting grout for that retro, standout look.
And yes, seal the tile surface after grouting to protect the crackle glaze. It’s quick to do and keeps them looking perfect for years.
Common Questions We Get:
- “Will these be too bold for a small space?” Not at all. The shape and gloss finish actually reflect light, making small rooms feel bigger and more interesting.
- "Is crackle glaze hard to maintain?” Just seal it once after install, and you're good to go. No extra upkeep.
