Macadam Floor and Design

Since the ancient Greeks, people have used mosaic tile to inlay images and designs into construction surfaces. Today, mosaic tiles continue to be widely used to add color and flair to rooms.

Uses for Mosaic Tile

The potential uses of mosaic tile are virtually unlimited, from pictures and figures to geometric patterns, or even just accent colors. One of the most common places that mosaic tiles are used is the bathroom, where spill resistance and durability are critical. Colored glass tiles can reflect natural or artificial light and provide eye-catching accents while expanding the apparent size of the room. Try a line of colored glass tiles nestled among white ceramic tiles for a “trim” look. Mosaic floors can also be an excellent canvas to display the homeowner’s originality. Another popular place for mosaic tile is the kitchen, where a patterned backsplash can add personality to the space between countertops and cabinets.

Benefits of Mosaic Tile

Aside from the versatility and range of expression offered by mosaic tiles, there are a number of practical reasons to incorporate them into a design. It’s relatively easy to install, requiring only a thin-set to bind it in place. It can be especially useful on floors that naturally slope, like the edges of showers, where it can form an attractive border. Mosaic tiles are easy to clean with commercial tile cleaner or even a homemade vinegar solution. Further, non-porous materials like glass are naturally resistant to stains, mold, and mildew.
