Tiamont · SICIS® Colibrì · 2 m²
Aluminium.Luxury that lives in the light.
A glass mosaic like a jewel for your home. The smooth surface and metallic depth of SICIS® Colibrì Aluminium capture the light – and give your room a fascinating presence.
01 · Material & effect
Glass with depth.
A surface with character.With character.
Smalto glass with a metallic finish gives Aluminium its depth. Gently rounded edges lend the fine mosaic design a soft, lively appearance.
Aluminium is smooth. The Tide version of the Colibrì collection, by contrast, has a wavy, textured surface, which reflects the light in a lively way.

For professional installation
Colibrì is bonded and grouted with two-component reactive resin systems. Substrate moisture must not exceed 3 %; grout within five days of bonding, after the adhesive has fully cured and when the joints are dry. Acids and alkaline substances can adversely affect the finish on the back.
03 · Your vision for the space
Your retreat.
At its most beautiful.
Bathroom & living spaces
SICIS® glass mosaic enhances walls, floors and wet areas. As a shower wall, recess or accent at the washbasin, Aluminium brings the atmosphere of a private spa into your home.
Pool & wellness
Colibrì can be used in pools. Water intensifies its metallic reflections – for striking pool designs with a professionally installed reactive resin system.
04 · Harmony in every detail
The right grout
makes the difference.
Carefully coordinated grout completes the mosaic design. The SICIS® colour recommendation for Aluminium: Bianco Titanio 105.
Litokol Starlike® EVO · Bianco Titanio 105 complements the mosaic with colour-stable, water-resistant epoxy resin grout.
05 · Installation
Precision that
preserves beauty.
- Prepare the substrateEnsure the substrate is flat, load-bearing and clean. In wet areas, proper waterproofing is part of the build-up.
- Bond with epoxy resinFor bonding with reactive adhesive, we recommend Litokol PowerGel® Pro Max Ultra Bianco: a white two-component (2K) epoxy resin adhesive of class R2 T with an additional RM 01 P waterproofing function.
- Align the mosaic designThe paper side faces outwards. Bed the sheets evenly; once the adhesive has fully cured, moisten the paper, peel it off diagonally and remove the glue residue.
- Complete the finishFill the dry, clean joints with Starlike® EVO Bianco Titanio 105 and clean the surface within the specified cleaning window.
Working and curing times: see the relevant technical data sheet.
