Bullseye Iridised coating

Post by becky wills »

Does anyone have any experience of using iridised glass (uncapped) for tiles that are going to be submerged in a swimming pool? Just wondering if the coating will stand up to the chemicals in the water?
Thanks
Becky

Yeah!

A lot of their tiles are Bullseye irrids fired irrid side down, and the tiles become reversible. The irrid side resists picking up texture so they look really nice. Compared to dichro, these tiles have a some pop, at a much lower cost.
