These reflective tiles, commonly available at home improvement retailers, are individual, typically square-shaped pieces of mirrored glass intended for decorative or functional use on walls or other surfaces. As an example, several of these items can be arranged to create a larger mirrored surface in a bathroom or exercise room.
The application of these tiles offers several advantages. They can visually expand the perceived size of a room, increase ambient light through reflection, and provide an affordable alternative to larger, single-piece mirrors. Historically, smaller mirrored elements were utilized in mosaics and decorative arts, prefiguring the modern use of these easily-applied squares for aesthetic enhancement.
