how do i install the shimmer collection?

individual sequins are secured to the wall using ¾” brass pins and spacers that set the sequins ⅛” from the wall. each order includes installation instructions for laying out a grid on your wall to create an overlapping pattern reminiscent of fish scales. we also provide the ¾” brass escutcheon pins and ⅛” brass spacers required for the installation as well.

brass sequins can be installed over the following surfaces: drywall, plaster, plywood and cement fiber backer board. do not install behind stoves unless your substrate is non-combustible and meets code requirements for material installed near a burner.

for more detailed installation instructions see shimmer material guidelines.

do you offer trim for your shimmer collection?

shimmer collection is not intended to be installed with trim of any kind.

how do i take care of my shimmer sequins?

clean using soft materials, like a cloth, instead of coarse materials. brass sequins should be dusted and do not typically require liquid cleaners.

brass sequin tiles will slowly develop a natural patina as the installation is maintained and naturally wears. it can be easy to mistake the wearing of their installation as staining, however, this worn appearance indicates the early stages of patina forming. if you would like to polish or remove patina from brass sequins this can be using brasso or bar keepers friend.

see our shimmer material guidelines for more information.

what type of finish should i expect with this collection?

shimmer collection sequins have a smooth brass metal surface which will develop a beautiful patina over time.

what types and levels of variation and imperfections should i expect?

with the shimmer collection you will see a light textural variation with slight color variation in the form of patina. it is still very important to blend the sequins from all boxes once they arrive and place them in their installation area to ensure you have the layout you want before installing. do not install without blending from all boxes.

variation ratings:

the shimmer collection brass sequin tiles are rated 'level 2 slight' for color variation, 'level 1 smooth' for texture variation, and 'level 1 slight for size variation'.

see illustrations in the technical specifications section above, and read more about the ratings in our tile variation and imperfections guide.

what should i expect with my order of shimmer?

in your shipment, you will find the brass escutcheon pins and brass spacers required for the installation of your sequins.

note: oil from fingerprints can stain and tarnish sequins if not promptly cleaned off using a microfiber cloth. to avoid having to wipe down the sequins, we suggest wearing cloth archival gloves while inspecting your shipment and during installation.

why do you suggest i order at least 15% more than my measurements?

industry standard suggests adding at least 15% overage due to tile cuts, potential shipping breakage, or future repairs.
