A Word on Marble
[ advertisement ]
Marble is a crystallized form of limestone that is a bit softer than granite. That doesn’t make it any less durable. It just means it’s a little easier to work with when it comes to shaping and cutting.
Marble comes in a variety of colors, and veining patterns, making it ideal for mosaics. Once thought of as the stone of the rich and royal, marble is now found just about everywhere, from window sills, to office buildings and luxury hotels to modern styled homes.
Mosaic Tile Borders
Mosaics involve grouping a lot of smaller tiles to form a larger picture. Sometimes, especially when found in the form of a border, the image isn’t necessarily of anything specific. Together, the small tiles create a sort of abstract pattern that works well as a whole. Generally, mosaic borders are composed of varying colors but are mostly square or rectangular tiles. However, a cohesive pattern can be produced by incorporating a mix of shapes and varying sizes of tiles.
Mosaic tile borders can be used to break up larger tiles and add an element of color and interest to your redesigned room. For example, maybe you have larger mid toned tiles symmetrically placed on the walls of your shower. To break up the monotony this might present, you can add a border made up of darker mosaic tiles that will add a bit of flair and style to the inside of your shower.
Where to Get Marble Mosaic Tiles
If you’re doing a small project, like your shower or kitchen, it may be tempting to go to a specialty or big box store. However, you may want to resist that urge. It might cost you more in the end to order marble from a company like that.
Marble is generally more expensive than other mosaic mediums like recycled glass or ceramic tile, so getting the best price should be a priority. Perhaps you might want to consider ordering your marble mosaic tiles straight from the manufacturer. That way you don’t have to pay additional costs that big box stores do in order to have the product shipped, stocked and sold in their store.
You can also work directly with the manufacturer to settle on a fair price – something that’s not really an option if you shop in a specialty store. Manufacturers will be more focused on you as a person, rather than a dollar sign like a big box store, and they will work harder to keep you happy. Because of that you may get a more personalized experience, leading to a better price in the end for you.
Stoneline Group offers their customers in the southern states no minimum purchase. That means they pay super low prices for even small projects, like bathrooms. Their high quality stone comes from quarries found deep in the Turkish mountains, giving their clients the best possible marble for their mosaics.
