ORDERING CUSTOM TILE MOSAICS BY PHONE


Ordering a custom mosaic by phone is quite easy. You will need the outside dimentions of the wall where you plan on hanging the mosaic. You will also have to determine the out side dimentions of the mosaic's frame. If you can decide how wide you want the frame around the mirror, it would be helpful. But, it is not entirely necessary. There is a work sheet to download to assist you.

You will need to send color swatches and photos of the wall. E-mailing photos is okay. But, accurate color swatches cannot be reliable over the internet. You will definately need to snail mail them. Next; we will create two full size drawings and UPS them to you. Call us when they arrive. We will need to discuss the pro's and cons of each. Once we agree on a final design concept, we decide the necessity of UPS-ing a third drawing. We then finalize the design and begin production. red.button.gif

1. Rolling out tile on slab roller

There are many steps in the production of a tile mosaic. The first step is to calculate how much tile is needed. Then, we roll out slabs of clay to make the tiles. The tiles are cut, seperated, and dried. Custom tile work requires the creation of new tile for each project. Of course. we often have a few tile on hand. But, we endevour to make as little overrun as possible to keep costs down. When dry, the tiles are cleaned and bisque fired. red.button.gif
