Glass mosaic

This type of mosaic is distinguished by a special radiant beauty and a variety of color palette. One of its main advantages is the ability to reflect and refract light. This helps to create a unique visual effect.

Glass mosaic helps to breathe life into any interior, add the depths and sensations of space to it. It is ideal for rooms where there is little or there is no natural light at all, for example, bathrooms or other windows without windows.

From the point of view of care, it is resistant to pollution, mold and fungus. If necessary, it can be easily washed with the help of conventional means for cleaning glasses. At the same time, the glass mosaic is more susceptible to scratches than its ceramic version, so in general it should be treated a little more carefully.

Stone mosaic

The amazing beauty and unique patterns of natural stone create a feeling of luxury. Correctly used in the interior, stone mosaic can turn the usual space into something special. It is available in countless forms, sizes and colors and opens unlimited possibilities for interior design. From polished marble to shale – each type of stone has its own unique texture, color and drawing.

The key advantage of stone mosaic tiles is its durability. The stone is very durable in nature, and this makes it the perfect choice for rooms with intense movement, such as corridors, kitchens and bathrooms.

On the other hand, stone mosaic tiles requires more complex care than its analogues. They must be regularly treated to prevent spots and damage to water. In addition, the uneven surface makes it difficult to clean it.

Metal mosaic is unusually durable and resistant to damage. Unlike stone, it does not require regular processing. It is also resistant to moisture and heat. But at the same time, such a mosaic is much more expensive than other types.
