Splash by Artaic

Collection Summary

Splash is a mosaic tile collection by Artaic, made in vitreous glass and produced to order for each project. The collection consists of eleven patterns — Emulsion, Cloudburst, Rift, Immersion, Carbonation, Breach, Deluge, Shoreline, Serene, Rising Tide, and Percolate — each drawing on a different water behavior: flowing, rippling, bubbling, dripping, or cascading. Every pattern is available across an extensive palette of 32 colorways, from Silver and Titanium at the neutral end to Magma, Sangria, and Cerulean Sparkle at the saturated end. What distinguishes Splash is the breadth of its verified applications: the collection is rated for floor, wall, and outdoor use, including pools, showers, and kitchen backsplashes, making its water-inspired motifs relevant to genuinely wet environments rather than serving as a decorative reference to water alone.

Design & Aesthetic

Splash organizes its patterns around different physical behaviors of water. Emulsion and Carbonation read as fine, bubble-like texture; Cloudburst, Rift, and Immersion suggest depth and turbulence; Breach, Deluge, and Percolate evoke falling or downpour motion; Shoreline, Serene, and Rising Tide lean toward calmer, coastal movement. Because each pattern is offered in over two dozen colorways, the same motif can be pushed toward a cool, aquatic palette (Aquamarine, Deep Turquoise, Cerulean) or a warmer, more saturated one (Tangerine, Golden Sands, Cinnamon), letting designers match the collection’s movement to a project’s existing color story rather than being locked into a blue-dominant water palette.

Design Applications

Splash is manufactured as large-format mosaic panels (125×175″) and is listed for floor, wall, outdoor shower floor, and general application use, which makes it one of the more broadly rated collections in Artaic’s lineup. The Use taxonomy confirms bathroom, kitchen backsplash, shower wall, pool, and outdoor settings alongside feature-wall, commercial, and residential contexts. Given its literal water-motion patterning and confirmed pool and shower ratings, Splash is a natural fit for pool surrounds and waterlines, shower walls and floors, spa and wellness spaces, and outdoor kitchen or patio backsplashes — in addition to interior feature walls and standard flooring where a calmer pattern like Serene or Shoreline can anchor a room without literal wet-area demands.

Specifying Splash

Splash is vitreous glass, 9.5mm thick, with a glossy finish and flat surface, produced in an organic mosaic format that suits its flowing motifs. As with all Artaic mosaics, it’s made to order and is described as infinitely customizable by tile type, size, color, and imagery, so the eleven stock patterns and 32 colors represent the standard offering rather than a fixed limit. With floor, wall, outdoor, and wet-area use now confirmed, designers should still check with an Artaic or TXD representative on any project-specific submerged-condition requirements (e.g., continuous pool immersion vs. splash zones) even where general pool and shower use is approved, since a broad application rating doesn’t always specify depth or immersion limits. Lead time is listed as special order, roughly 7–12 weeks in the US, and should be confirmed directly given the made-to-order model. Variation is rated V1 (low), meaning tile-to-tile shade and texture consistency should be predictable within a run — useful when specifying a continuous water-motion surface across a pool, shower, or backsplash where uneven variation would disrupt the flowing effect.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Splash approved for a swimming pool installation?

Yes — The vitreous glass spec sheet shows resistance to swimming pool salts and nil water absorption, both consistent with pool applications.

Can Splash be used on a shower floor and wall?

Yes — the Application field includes Shower Floor and Wall, making the collection suitable for both.

Is Splash suitable for an outdoor kitchen backsplash?

Outdoor and Kitchen Backsplash are both listed in the collection’s Use data, so an outdoor kitchen backsplash is a reasonable application — confirm any climate-specific installation guidance (freeze-thaw exposure, substrate) with your representative for the project’s location.

How do I choose between a calmer pattern like Serene and a more dynamic one like Deluge for the same wet-area project?

Serene and Shoreline read as gentler, coastal movement, often suited to spa-like bathrooms or pool surrounds where a restrained effect is preferred, while Deluge and Percolate carry more visual energy from their downpour-inspired motifs — a good fit for a shower feature wall or entry moment where more visual activity is desirable.
