Tile Types
We use ceramic and tumbled
stone; porcelain and others upon request. Our tiles are as close to WHITE as possible as the tile acts as our “canvas” for
the colors we use.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE
TWO
Our ceramic tiles
(click here to see)
are like the traditional white tiles you see
in a lot of kitchens and bathrooms. The sizes we use for all of our
backsplashes are traditionally 4.25” x 4.25” OR 6” x 6”. All ceramic tiles have “spacers” that are a part of the tile. When the
tiles are placed next to each other, the spacers touch and create a 1/16th
of an inch grout line in-between each tile.
The tumbled stone tile
(click here to see)
looks more like tumbled marble. It does have
the “natural” veining and pitting throughout the tile along with some of the
corners and edges being a bit rough looking. All of this gives the mural a more
“old world” look and feel. We get tiles that are as close to white as possible.
Their sizes are 4” x 4” OR 6” x 6”. There are NO SPACERS on these tiles…so, you
may place them as close or as far apart as you would like when installing.
If you want to match either
tile type for the rest of your wall, go to
www.daltile.com and find a distributor in your area. That’s where we buy our
blank tiles. However, it is very easy to find tiles to match at just about any
tile or home improvement store.
For larger projects (murals
over 24x36), we can get single tiles as large as they make them beginning with
12” x 12”, 18” x 18”, 24” x 24”
