FAQs
What size are mosaic tiles usually sold in?
Mosaic tiles are supplied on mesh-backed sheets rather than as individual tiles, typically around 300x300mm per sheet, making them easier to install across large areas while keeping the individual tile size small.
Are mosaic tiles suitable for floors or just walls?
It depends on the material and finish. Porcelain and stone mosaics with a suitable slip rating can be used on floors, including bathroom floors, while some glazed glass and gloss porcelain mosaics are recommended for walls only due to lower slip resistance. Check the individual product's slip rating and stated use before installing on a floor.
What's the difference between glass, stone, and porcelain mosaics?
Glass mosaics offer a reflective, decorative finish best suited to feature walls and splashbacks. Stone mosaics (like Carrara or Ming Green marble) bring natural veining and texture, ideal for bathroom feature walls and floors. Porcelain mosaics are the most durable and low-maintenance option, well suited to high-traffic and wet areas, including commercial use.
Do mosaic tile colours vary between batches?
Yes, particularly with natural stone mosaics like marble, colour and veining can vary between batches. We recommend ordering a sample before committing to a full order to confirm the shade matches your expectations.
Are your porcelain mosaics suitable for commercial use?
Yes, our anti-slip porcelain mosaics are through-bodied and slip-rated, making them suitable for high-traffic commercial applications like commercial bathrooms and pool surrounds.
