What is the difference between mosaic and tiles?

Mosaic is an art that uses small pieces of materials like marble, stone, tile and others to create a pattern. Mosaics are often used as floor and wall decoration. A tile is a manufactured piece of hard-wearing material such as ceramic, stone, baked clay, etc. used to cover floors, walls, tabletops and more.

Can mosaic be used on floors?

Mosaic can be used on floors as well as walls. Pick your style of mosaics after considering the space and its requirements.

Technical laying instructions

We highly advise inspecting and conducting a dry mock-up of all mosaic sheets prior to installation. Once mosaic tiles are
laid or fixed, any concerns or issues cannot be addressed by the company.

1. Skimming

The installation surface must be smooth and clean to ensure proper installation.
It may be necessary to lay a thin layer of setting material on the surface to ensure that it is ready for the tile.
Allow 12 hours to dry if layer of setting material is needed.

2. Guide Lines

Measure the space in which the mosaic is being installed to determine the best fit for your tile.
Use a straight edge and level to help you align the tile as you work.

3. Applying Setting Material

Mix setting material.
First coat: apply setting material with the smooth edge of a trowel to a section no larger than one section of the grid.
Second coat: create even ridges in the setting material by “combing” the material with the notched edge of the trowel.

4. Installing the Mosaics

Apply the backside of each sheet with the setting material.
Using a float tool, tap across the surface to adhere the mosaic securely into the setting material.

5. Securing Mosaic Sheets

It is important to create a secure bond between the mosaic and the setting material.
Using the float tool tap across the surface to adhere the mosaic securely.
This also ensures the final exposed plane of the mosaic is consistent and uniform in height.

6. Adjusting spacing

This can be a time consuming process, but is important to ensure a professional installation.
Adjust while material is still wet.
Adjust any mosaic that are uneven and ensure that all gaps are of equal width and height. Do this by cutting through the clear tape and moving pixel with a small trowel.

7. Grouting

Grout can be applied to a clean, dry surface. (See Step 8 “Expansion Joints”)
Before applying grout be sure that the mosaic surface is clean.
Thorough cleaning may involve removing excess setting material from the mosaic’s joint with a knife, as well as cleaning off all dust and particles.
Spread grout from the bottom up in a diagonal direction using a small trowel.
Squeegee in the opposite direction.

8. Expansion Joints

Expansion joints should be installed at all “changes in plane” of the mosaic and where the mosaic meets an adjoining surface, such as in a corner.

9. Cleaning and Sealing

The mosaic should be ready to be cleaned about 30-60 minutes after grouting.
Use a sponge and clean water and scrub in a circular motion, removing excess grout and smoothing all joints. Continue to wipe down the tiles until clean.
Seal the grout after 72 hours of application.
