The Northern Lights tile takes inspiration from the colorful spectrum of lights of Alaska. Alike the amazing Northern Lights, these tiles are able to display a number of colours. These tiles are heat-sensitive and will change their coloring when different temperatures hit them.
Although the effect is most noticeable when cold or hot water splashes onto the shower tiles, the effect can also be observed in instances of radiant heat -- where there is warm or cool temperatures in the areas surrounding where the tiles have been installed.
In a neutral state, the 4" x 4" glass tiles begin as black. The Northern Lights Tiles are a beautiful way to bring in a bit of color to the bathroom and add an interesting, unexpected feature to shower stalls.
