How to use Mosaic Tiles in the Home
Mosaic tiles can be used in any number of ways throughout your home’s interior and exterior spaces.

Mosaic tiles are often used to add a decorative touch as they are available in such a wide range of colours and patterns. You will also find that certain options in mosaic tiles can even be used as an interior floor tile making for a wonderfully tactile finish in your interior design scheme.
Can Mosaic Tiles be used as a Floor Tile Solution?
Certain varieties of mosaic tiles can be used as a flooring solution in residential applications. These include natural stone tiles (such as mosaic marble tiles for example) and some varieties of enamelled glass tiles.
Using Mosaic Tiles in Commercial/Retail Applications

Do Mosaic Tiles need to be sealed?
Although not all types of mosaic tiles will require sealing, certain options will. Natural stone tiles for example will require sealing in order to be best maintained over time. Find out more detailed information on caring for natural stone tiles in our Resources section.
Grout Options for Mosaic Tiles
Traditional cement based grouts are often used with mosaic tiles, especially when paired with natural stone tiles or terrazzo tiles. Glass tiles however will benefit from a high quality epoxy grout that will actively assist in the prevention of dirt and grime build-up to create an incredibly low maintenance finish in your tiling project.
Do Mosaic Tiles need Spacers?
Mosaic tiles are usually sold in sheets where each individual tile is attached to a mesh backing that allows for ease of installation. Although a tile spacer is not used between each individual tile, spacers can be used in between each sheet instead to ensure correct alignment of your tiles.
