We carry these tiles in 4 sizes: 10mm square, 20mm square, round, and rectangular. There is also a limited line of metallic tiles available.
I’ll be honest, I personally don’t care for these tiles. There are pros and cons to them, which I’ll lay out below. But my dislike of these tiles started years ago, before I ever heard of Kismet or Krystal.
They are manufactured in China. Not that this is a bad thing, overall, but with COVID-19 issues affecting shipping, along with possible tariffs, the prices will most likely go up when/if I restock the line.
So I would like your feedback.
- Help me add to the Pro and Con list below.
- If I discontinue the Krystal line, would your life no longer be worth living?
- Does Maryland Mosaic carry the colors/sizes you need? See their line of colors at https://www.marylandmosaics.com/colorfusion-crystal-glass-tile-c-1.html?osCsid=06rsdqi6tmulaoqejq6paf7mh1
- Will you be mad enough at me to stop shopping with me entirely if I discontinue these tiles?
Pros
Cost is less expensive than other tiles
The color range is wider than most glass tile
Thickness matches with other glass tiles
Cons
Backing scratches and chips easily
Tile sizes don’t coordinate with Kismet line
Cutting tiles can leave sharp edges
Long lead time and shipping time when restocking

I would be very disappointed if you decided to discontinue the Krystal tiles. These tiles are all that I use for my mosaic projects. You are the only one that I know of that has a very good variety of colors to choose from.I have been getting these tiles from you for several years now,so please don’t discontinue them!!! I understand you not getting these tiles from China,since this whole COVID-19 pandemic. I was in hopes that there would be a different company you could get them from and still have a good variety of colors to choose from. I was looking at the link you had posted to see if they had the colors that I needed,but they don’t have as big of a selection to choose from like you do.
I did like that they were the same thickness as the other tiles I was using. They did leave some sharp edges. I did like the glow it gave to my piece. I would be okay without them.
I’ve never used them so no big deal if they are discontinued.
OMG!!! Please do not discontinue krystal tiles. I absolutely love them! Love the wide assortment of colors. Love the way they shine in the sun. Love that you offer in small quantities. Love, love, love! If you do discontinue please let us know way in advance so we can stock up!!!
This is just for your research Jaunita. Don’t need to publish it. I think they are beautiful, but haven’t tried to cut them. If something more locally produced has the same look that works for me! Stay strong.
