Q) What are Tumbled Stone Tiles?
(A) Tumbled Stone is a beautiful, light buff natural stone tile that has been literally tumbled together in large drums. The action of the tiles rubbing against each other produce a rich natural matte surface with nicks, chipped edges, natural veining, rounded corners, and grooves, that display a superb antique flat matte finish. These Tumbled Stone tiles produce a look of ancestral quality.

(Q) Mural sizes?
(A) All images are taken from original watercolor paintings, Sizing the image larger than the original painting is not recommended, but how it is viewed can make a difference. Images are adjusted proportionately to fit your space. Some adjustment to the image may be necessary to prevent a key element, such as an eye, from falling into a grout line.

(Q) Can a mural be outside?
(A) Limited exterior use is recommended subject to location, climate and method of installation.

(Q) Should the tile have a sealer coat applied?
(A) Ceramic Tile or Porcelain - A sealer coat is OK but not needed because the image is sealed into the surface of the tile. Tumbled Stone tiles are very porous and must be sealed if used in water applications such as showers or backsplashes.

In the old days of photography may photographs were brown tone prints (Sepia), instead of black and white. A sepia tone print is a lushes warm tone, no other colors are present, like the black and white print, just the warn tone of the sepia.

• Tiles are ceramic, porcalain, or tumbled stone , and designed for decorative purposes.

• Tiles are coated with a living Polymer coating. This coating carries the color and is extremely durable and scratch resistant, but could scratch when in contact with metal or other hard abrasives like sand, ceramic materials, or hard surfaces.

• Do not stack tile on top of each other without the protective poly-bag between them. Failure to do so could scratch the protective coating and image. Never stack unprotected tiles. Under some conditions the image could start to transfer to another tile.

• Tile are specified for a decorative purpose and not for a wear or working surface application, without special consideration and additional coatings.

• Using tools that are not completely clean from previous work can mar or scratch these tiles.

• Do not set tile with butt taps from trowels or other hard instruments.

• When cutting this tile, it is best to use a saw, as the coating can prevent a clean score mark and result in broken tile.

• Use only non-abrasive grout and cleaners.

• Do not use Muriatic acid, caustic, or abrasive cleaners and solvents to clean this tile, as it could damage the tile coating and/or affect the color.

• Use only household cleaners like Windex, 409 Glass and Counter cleaner, or other non-abrasive household surface cleaners.

• Do not expose these tiles to more than 400°F of direct heat, as it can fade the color.

• When using as a stove back splash, make sure the heat course is at least 5" from the tile surface.

Each tile comes in white or natural color so we can add the color of your choice, to the surface as true, and clear as possible. Ceramic tile = White • Porcelain tile = Off White, • Tumbled Stone = Generally cream to light tan with veins of rust to brown, creating an antique look.

Textured Glass Tile
A dynamic alternative to ordinary floor covering, suitable for high-traffic areas.
The textured glass tile can also be used for back-lit projects and meet or exceed ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) tests set forth by ANSI (American National Standards Institute) standards for commercial and residential floor, wall and pool applications.

Tempered Glass Tiles - cannot be cut, so for applications where cutting is necessary (corners, holes, etc. in floor installations), you would order non-tempered tile. Tempering is added to the larger tiles for strength. The 6" x 6" and 6" x 8" tiles met the ANSI and ASTM standards above without tempering. The 8" x 10" tiles are always tempered, and the 12" x 12" tiles are offered in tempered and non-tempered. For the 12" tile installations, you would want to use the tempered tiles except where cutting is needed.
Non-Tempered Tile - may be cut with a glass cutter, or a tile saw (wet saw application, diamond blade). We only recommend MegaFlex Ultimate Thin-Set Mortar in White for mounting the textured glass tile in any application. Manufactured by Custom Building Products (www.custombuildingproducts.com), this adhesive should be readily available in most areas, and has exhibited superior bond strength without damaging the SingleStep white backing on the tiles. You should use a grout specifically formulated for use with glass tile. Tiles can be cleaned with any household non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth or sponge.

Available in - 6" X 6" and 6" X 8" size non-tempered.
Available in - 8" X 10" and 12" X 12" size tempered.
