Everything Starts
With A Sketch
With A Sketch
Together with our customer we design a sketch of the future mosaic
In cooperation with a customer, we elaborate the whole plan of the mosaic creation that includes a sketch, desired material, design, size, and other important details. We draw an outline that we are going to use during the whole process of mosaic creation.
The design can be drawn directly onto the surface or transferred from a template. This process is crucial as it sets the foundation for the entire mosaic.

Our Customer's Approval
During the whole process of the mosaic creation we are in contact with our customer for harmonization of client's expectation and technical parts of the artwork
Once the surface is prepared, the next step is to lay out the design of the mosaic. This involves transferring the design from a template onto the surface, marking the boundaries of the mosaic, and determining the placement of each tile. This step is crucial for ensuring that the mosaic is installed accurately and according to the desired design.

Preparing Materials
and Crafting Mosaics
and Crafting Mosaics
Right after the discussion of the most important details we move to the collection of materials and making a mosaic
The next step in creating a mosaic is to gather the necessary materials. This includes various types of tiles, such as ceramic, glass, or stone, as well as tools like tile nippers or cutters, adhesive, grout, and a surface to work on. The choice of materials will depend on the desired design, color scheme, and size of the mosaic.
Once the tiles are arranged on the surface, they are glued down using adhesive. This step requires patience and a steady hand to ensure that each tile is properly secured in place. The adhesive must be allowed to dry completely before moving on to the next step.
After the adhesive has dried, it is time to grout the mosaic. Grout is a mixture of cement, sand, and water that is used to fill in the gaps between the tiles. This step helps to strengthen the mosaic and create a smooth surface. The grout is applied using a rubber float and must be carefully spread over the entire mosaic.
Once the grout has been applied, it is important to clean off any excess grout from the tiles using a damp sponge. This step requires patience and attention to detail to avoid damaging the mosaic. After cleaning off the excess grout, the mosaic must be allowed to dry completely before it can be sealed.

Why choose mosaics?
The materials of the mosaic murals are waterproof and sun-resistant, exactly that helps them to pass the test of time. There is no need to change an installed mosaic during a very long period.
It is not possible to create exactly the same mosaic if you have aleady made one. The works of artisans are inimitable, and it gives them the special charm
There is nothing difficult when it comes to mosaic cleaning. Mosaics are resistant to any cleanising agents because of the special qualities of stone, smalt, glass, etc.

Mosaic Installation
Finally, when everything has been done, we set up the mosaic
We have experience of working with different types of the mosaic: for exhibitions, parks, outdoor and indoor areas. In each case the installation is a bit different and sometimes depends on the customer's preferences.
An important step in the installation process is to prepare the surface where the mosaic will be set up. This may involve cleaning and priming the surface to ensure proper adhesion of the tiles.
In some cases, we use various types of fibreboards in order to install the mosaics on a wall. It is one of the best ways to do it, because fibreboards are rather durable. If you would like learn more about the different types of mosaic, we may offer you taking a close look at our completed projects gallery
