Cheap Mosaic Tile
Our cheapest mosaic tile is also our best mosaic tile.
Our ceramic
mosaic tile is unglazed fine porcelain, with solid color throughout. It's cheaper
than glass mosaic tile and comes in a wider variety of colors. It is also easier to
cut and it has a classic finish like stone instead of a glossy surface
like glass.
We recommend this affordable mosaic tile for both beginners and experienced artists. Here are several reasons that porcelain mosaic tile might be the best choice for your mosaic project:
Cuts much more cleanly than glass mosaic tile
Easier to make details for a mosaic
Safer to cut than glass because it does not produce as many sharp edges
Unglazed porcelain has solid color throughout so there isn't a thin glaze that can chip off.
Color selection is better than most brands of glass mosaic tile. View our color chart.Naturalistic images are easier to accomplish with the color palllet available in porcelain
Tiles are small and flat with 90-degree cornered edges, not rounded like bathroom ceramic tile.
The finish is matte, not glossy.
Cautions to take when using porcelain mosaic tile:
Porcelain tile is unglazed, so its surface can be stained by grout.
To preserve the full color of the tile, you should seal your mosaic with tile and grout sealer from the hardware store before grouting.
For architectural installations, porcelain tile should be installed with a latex-modified thin set mortar instead of glue. This prevents the possibility of moisture seeping through the micro-pores of the porcelain over the years and weakening any glue.
For fine-art indoor mosaics, use Weldbond glue.
