About the Samples

The sample tiles are supplied attached to an adhesive transparent film at the spacing used for our mosaic products, giving some impression of the appearance of a finished mosaic.

You can always try mounting and grouting the samples onto a test surface for the full effect.

Should one or more of the colours appeal to you as potential border/background colours for your mosaic design, we can identify the colour from it's position on the grid and help incorporate them into your design.

Tiles can be easily removed from the film by peeling - the individual colour loose tiles may help with colour matching and visualisation.

Our Mosaics

Our objective is to bring the beauty of mosaic art into more homes and offices than ever before, by offering a wide range of affordable designs available in a choice of formats and sizes.

To this end we have invested extensively in computer assisted mosaic design technologies, developing our own specialist algorithms and methods to optimise the selection of tile colours.

Our mosaic designs use the traditional "Opus Regulatum" style of tiles laid out in a regular pattern, like squares on a chess board.

Specification

Mosaic Tiles:

10mm x 10mm x 3-4mm thick vitreous glass tiles, fired to a high temperature for strength and durability, they are frost proof and waterproof, UVA, shatter and fade resistant. The top of the tiles are bevelled around the edges for a low-slip finish, and have shaping on the back for excellent adhesion. This makes them suitable for use inside and outside, including home/office walls and floors, garage and garden walls, paths, patios and swimming pools.

Film Sheet:

The sample mosaic tiles are supplied pre-prepared in sheet form with a transparent film sheet applied to the top of the tiles. This maintains the tile arrangement in transit to show the position and orientation of tiles within a typical mosaic design. This film can be easily peeled off, if required.

Colour Note:

The colours shown above, and on our mosaic products, are for guide use only.

It is impossible to give an accurate indication of the finished mosaic colours: the tile colour shades vary from batch to batch, supplier to supplier (as is common with all fired glass). Most have a speckled appearance, with very small white(ish) specks and bubbles, that affects the colour shade when seen from a distance. Vitreous tiles are semi-transparent/translucent/reflective, which varies in extent from colour to colour, so the colour shade seen is also affected by lighting conditions, adhesive and grout colour, etc. Finished grout colours will also vary due to mixing, texture, application or batch variations.

These factors make it very difficult to match a tile or grout colour to an accurate computer colour definition. Even then, the colour you see on your screen will not be exactly the same as we see on our screens, due to differences in browser, display and screen settings.

These samples allow you to see the actual colours and properties of the tiles we use, but final colour may vary by batch or installation.

Finish Quality Note:

Our Mosaic products are Home Studio crafted.

Every due care and attention is taken to ensure a high quality product with a professional finish. However, as with any Home Studio crafted product more minor irregularities are to be expected than for a mass produced factory item.

Many of the tiles (despite their factory manufacture) have slightly varying shapes, irregular edges or minor edge chips. As part of our quality control procedures, all tiles are visually checked prior to product assembly. Some irregular edged tiles can be ground back to shape, while broken, deformed, excessively chipped or irregular edged tiles are replaced.

Tile mounting to film backing is carried out by hand, inevitably resulting in minor variations in tile positions, orientation, alignment etc.

Such variations and irregularities, some of which you may see with your sample, only add to the artistic charm of our completed mosaics.
