Product related questions
What type of stone is used with your products?
For our mosaic products, we have over 30 natural marble stones that are typically used. However, we have also used man made tile and glass for mosaic projects. For our solid stone products (waterjet cut), we use marble, travertine, onyx, and granite. Please see the product descriptions for more details and options.
back to top
What is the thickness of the stones?
3/8" or 1/2" is typical. Please see the description for each particular product for more details.
back to top
Does the stone come polished or honed?
We can customize the finish for you. Our waterjet products can be polished or honed. Our mosaic products can be polished or tumbled. Please see the specific products description for more details and options.
back to top
Do the items come as one piece or many separate pieces?
Our products come as one piece, meaning the different stone pieces are glued to a backing. This makes installation much easier and shipping safer.
back to top
What kind of backing is used for the products?
The mosaics are glued to fiberglass mesh and the waterjet cut stone products are generally placed on a solid honeycomb backing.
back to top
How long will these products last?
As 16th Century Italian Artist Giorgio Vasari wrote: "Mosaic is the most durable picture that exists. Other paintings fade with time, but mosaic continually brightens with age". This applies to all of our products. They will last centuries.

For the mosaics, what is the difference between tumbled and polished?
Polished mosaic pieces are hand cut from polished marble and then installed into the design. The edges are crisp and clean. Tumbled mosaic pieces, after being cut, are placed into a special machine called a tumbler. This gives the tumbled stone an aged look and a warmer tone, with rounded off edges and corners. Please see our materials and colors page for pictures.

Can your consultants help me with color and design choices?
Yes, we would love to.

I am having trouble visualizing my colors choices in the design, can you help?
Yes, our computer software allows us to take your design choice and then add your color choices. We can then email the draft to you for your review.

I wish I could see what the actual product would look like in my home before I purchase, can you help?
Yes, if you send us a picture of the installation area in your home or business, we can then "morph" the product with your image to give you an idea of what it will look like installed.

Installation and care
What are the general steps in the installation process?
1. Install your existing floor in its entirety.
2. Take your new medallion and place on the floor in the exact spot you want it to be installed. Trace the outside of the medallion with a heavy pencil.
3. Remove the medallion from the installation area.
4. Use an angle grinder with a diamond round blade to cut out the area. Follow the traced line carefully until you have penetrated through the thickness of the existing tile.
5. Using a hammer and hand pick, break out the unneeded tile and thin set. After the tile is broken up, clean the area with a hand broom.
6. Carefully place the medallion back in the cut area to make sure it fits perfectly and then remove again.
7. Trowel thin set into area with the appropriate thickness. If you do not know how much to use, it is best to fill the entire area completely with thin set. Make sure you have a nice level surface that is flush with your existing tile floor.
8. Using two people, carefully lower the medallion into the thin set. Excess thin set will come out the sides, clean as needed. Finally, use your hands and a level to make sure the medallion is flat and flush.
9. Let the thin set harden for 12 - 24 hours before grouting.
10. Grout your medallion using a hand trowel and a wet sponge.
11. Thoroughly clean your medallion.
12. Apply your stone sealer.
Yes, if you have the correct tools.
