Mosaic tile is a common stone decoration material, which is not only beautiful but also has a long life. In modern architecture and decoration, people often use various materials to make mosaics, including materials such as metal, shells, and glass. The following will introduce these three commonly used materials when inlaying in stone mosaic making.
Metal mosaics refer to mosaics made by inlaying metal sheets on the surface of the stone. The metal material can be stainless steel, brass, aluminum, copper, and other metal materials. After being fine hand-polished and crafted, a metal mosaic can present a unique metallic texture and luster. In terms of design, metal mosaics are often used in modern architectural and decoration plans, highlighting the sense of modernity and technology.
Shell Inlaid Stone Mosaic
Shell mosaic refers to mosaics made by inlaying shells or other shellfish shells on the surface of the stone, also named “Mother of Pearl”. Shells and shellfish shells are made of natural materials, rich in texture and color, and different types of shells can be inlaid together to present beautiful patterns and colors, so they are very popular in decoration. The production process of shell mosaic needs cleaning the shell first, then thinning it into slices, then inlaying it on the stone surface, and finally polishing and polishing it to make the mosaic surface show a smooth luster. Shell mosaics are often used in marine-themed decorations, but also in natural and minimalist interiors.
Glass Inlaid Stone Mosaic Tile
A glass mosaic is made by inlaying glass fragments of different colors or textures on the surface of the stone. The transparency, tone, and texture of glass are its biggest features, and with the hardness and texture of stone, it can show visual effects of various colors and textures. When making glass mosaics, it is necessary first to grind the glass into small pieces, then splice glass pieces of different colors or textures together, and then combine them with stone materials.
No matter what material they are, different kinds of stone mosaics will improve your home’s decoration level. And the real stone tiles will increase your property value in the future.
