Tall and three-pointed with a looped crown, the Triangle Loop Knot on these trinity knot brass tiles is the familiar three-part knot drawn upright. A grid of them looks orderly and steady, which suits an office or study as well as a kitchen wall.
Details
- Material: solid brass sheet about 1 mm thick, embossed by hand over a hand-punched ground
- Finish: aged bronze patina, sealed with wax
- Size: each tile is 10 x 10 cm (3.9 x 3.9 in)
- Depth: 6 mm, with a raised rim around each tile; the back is hollow and has a small hanger
- Comes as: sets of 30, 45 or 60 tiles, all in this one design
- Handmade: each piece is embossed to order, so relief and patina vary slightly from the photos
Sizes and coverage
Choose a quantity from the Set menu. Each tile covers 0.01 m² (0.11 sq ft), with tiles butted together.
- 30 tiles: 0.30 m² (3.2 sq ft), e.g. 6 x 5 tiles = 60 x 50 cm
- 45 tiles: 0.45 m² (4.8 sq ft), e.g. 9 x 5 tiles = 90 x 50 cm
- 60 tiles: 0.60 m² (6.5 sq ft), e.g. 10 x 6 tiles = 100 x 60 cm
The tiles cannot be cut, so plan the layout around whole tiles. A row of ten tiles runs 100 cm (39.4 in).
Where to use it
- A grid of tiles above a desk, sofa or console
- Accent tiles dotted through a plain kitchen backsplash
- A band behind a range or along the sink wall
- An entryway wall above a console table
- Glued into cabinet doors, drawer fronts, trays or a tabletop
Installing and care
As tile, back-fill each piece with tile adhesive and press it onto a flat, clean wall, then grout or caulk when the adhesive has set. To use one as wall art, hang it from the small hanger on its back. Behind a cooktop, leave the clearance your cooktop maker asks for. Tiles cannot be cut, so work out the layout in whole tiles first. Clean with a soft, damp cloth and dry it off; scouring pads and harsh cleaners will wear through the patina.
