Incorporate Specialty Tile into Smaller Spaces of Your Design

You have fallen in love with a particular glass mosaic tile or natural stone and then you get the price. Specialty tile normally has a special price which sometimes equals expensive. But you can still incorporate the tile into your home, just maybe not on the largest wall as you had planned. Instead, look for other areas of your home where you can use the tile.

Specialty Mosaics for Special Places

Consider using the decorative tile in your powder or guest bathroom instead of the master. Many mosaics are mounted on mesh and are easy to cut. You can surround less expensive tile with the specialty mosaic perhaps as an outer band or inserts. If you fall in love with a tile but not its price, look at other options for incorporating it into your design, just on a smaller scale.

Waste Not, Want Not – Order The Right Amount of Tile For Your Project

Building a new home or remodeling an existing home? If you are considering tile or stone for your design, make sure you order enough material the first time.

Most tiles and stones are produced in units called lots. This material was made at the same time and under the same circumstances. Whether it is a natural stone, glass tile, ceramic, porcelain or any other natural or man-made product, you should order enough from the same lot to cover your project.

A good rule of thumb is to order 10% more than you actually need for waste. Tile or stone may break during transportation or installation. You also must take into account corners, closets, wall edges, etc. where tile is more than likely cut in order to fit. On your initial order, make sure you order at least 10% extra from the same lot in order to maintain consistency in color, veining, and glazing.
