Mosaic Tile
A surface made from many small tile pieces mounted in a sheet. It reads through fine scale, many grout lines, slight sheet seams, uneven highlights, and curve-following modules.

Choosing points
- Best for small areas, curves, and wet zones where fine rhythm and decoration are useful.
- More grout means more grip, but also more dirt and cleaning lines.
- Sheet seams can become visible when installation is poor.
- Small pieces follow curves better than large tile.
How it ages
- The tile pieces are durable, but grout and adhesive quality matter a lot in pools and wet floors.
What to avoid
- Do not use tiny mosaics in dirty commercial floors without grout maintenance planning; the grout area is the main failure point.
