Coverage

Each 1-pound bag will cover approximately .90 square feet assuming a standard grout gap of approximately 1/32 inch. Most Mosaic Mounting Paper is 1.15 square feet and requires 841 tiles (29 tiles x 29 tiles). Use our tile estimator to calculate how much you need for your project.

Compatibility

Tile thickness is 1/8 inch nominal, the same as most of the glass mosaic tile we sell, which means that these can mix and match with other types and brands.

Cutting Glass Tile

We recommend the Mosaic Glass Cutter for cutting all types of glass mosaic tile including these. Note, however, that there is a limit to how small they can be cut. Due to their tapered edges, small pieces will tend to tip over. We advise cutting halves, quarters, and diagonal triangles, and not much smaller than that. For creating outlines and other details, check out our Rectangle Border Tiles or our Outliners Mosaic Sticks™.

Mounting Tiles

Weldbond adhesive works well for mounting dry indoor mosaics. However, for outdoor and wet mosaics, use thinset mortar.

Use in Mosaic Art

The affordability, ease of use and durability of these tiles makes them suitable for children’s crafts projects and outdoor home décor. The pigment quality lends itself equally well to photorealistic mosaic images and fine art. The advantage of this material is that you can use tiles from different manufacturers if you find you need additional colors.

Pique Assiette Porcelain Flats

Pique Assiette Porcelain Flats_Variable Photo_2_OPT

Our Pique Assiette Porcelain Flats are hard durable porcelain pieces fired with classic china patterns for use in traditional pique assiette mosaic work. While most edges are kiln rounded, nearly all bags contain a few broken pieces with sharp edges. Given that, please do not order if handling sharp edges will be an issue. These are equally suitable as cutting stock and as finished tile. Smooth out any sharp edges with a Diamond-Grit File. Product image shows 1/4 kg of material (.55 lb). This amount will cover roughly 4×4 inches (16 sq. in).

Pique Assiette Porcelain Flats

  • tile size: irregular shapes with some breakage
  • sales unit: 1/4 kg
  • thickness: roughly 5mm
  • material: porcelain
  • variety: glazed
  • pigments: colorfast, UV resistant
  • durability: frost-proof, impervious to liquid
  • usage: suitable for indoor and outdoor use

Coverage

One bag of 1/4 kg will cover approximately 4×4 inches (16 in^2). Product photos show 1/4 kg.

Compatibility

These are slightly thicker than the glass tile we sell, and as such will be ideal if you are wanting your mosaic to have texture with tiles and regions that are a little higher than others. (Raised elements might present issues on a functional table top or floor, but for other decorative mosaics and art, texture and dimension are an easy way to add visual interest to your work).

Cutting Porcelain Flats

Cut these durable porcelain tiles using our Compound Tile Nipper.

Pique Assiette Porcelain Flats in Mosaic Art

Make borders around mosaic mirrors and mosaic pictures, or use as accents in mixed media mosaic artwork made from various types of tile. You can mix glass, porcelain, and stone tiles with souvenirs made of durable materials. Our Salvage Assortment includes a wide variety of tile shapes and materials.

Pique Assiette Mosaic Style

Pique assiette is a style of mosaic art traditionally incorporating broken china and found objects. It is a centuries-old folk art form of recycled art. See our Irregular Glazed Ceramic Tile for another ceramic option with a similar “broken” style.

LILY POND Pastel Iridescent Assortment 12mm Morjo™ 1-lb

12mm mosaic glass tile assortment

LILY POND Pastel Iridescent Assortment is a limited pastel mix of Morjo™ Recycled 12mm Iridescent Glass Mosaic Tile and sold LOOSE by the pound, which is different from the 8-oz individual colors. This 1-POUND assortment should have about 320+ loose tiles. The tiles have a glossy finish, and the glass has solid color throughout (and not just on the tops or bottoms). They are opaque when mounted on an opaque surface.

These wonderful tiles cut cleanly into tiny pieces with minimal waste, and so they are an ideal material for micromosaic artwork. They are hard and durable and UV-resistant and can be used for the exteriors of commercial buildings. The fusing process for making these tiles from powdered recycled glass is referred to as “warm glass” or “enamel glass” or “pate de verre.” Mounting grids are available.

LILY POND Pastel Iridescent 12mm Assortment™ Glass Tile 1-lb

  • tile size: ~1/2 inch (12mm)
  • thickness: 1/8 nominal (4mm), but runs slightly thicker than most other brands nominally 4mm. Can be used in the same mosaics.
  • sales unit: 1 pound, which is approximately 320+ LOOSE pieces.
  • material: glass
  • variety: recycled glass
  • pigments: colorfast, UV resistant
  • finish: IRIDESCENT
  • durability: frost-proof, impervious to liquid
  • usage: suitable for indoor and outdoor use

Coverage

One pound (~320 tiles) covers 91 square inches or 0.6 square feet assuming a standard grout gap of 1/16 inch. You need about 508 tiles (1.6 pounds) to cover one square foot assuming a standard grout gap of 1/16 inch. You need about 645 tiles (2 pounds) for a square foot assuming no grout gap. Use our tile estimator to calculate how much you need for your grouted project.

Grout Gap?

Note that dry indoor mosaics do not have to be grouted (and thus you can simply mount the tiles tightly together), but outdoor and wet mosaics must have grout to prevent water from penetrating behind the tiles. The best way to ensure that the gaps between the tiles is to leave a 1/16-inch gap instead of pressing them tightly together, and this point seems counterintuitive to some people. Consider this: you can never mount them so closely together that water can’t penetrate it, but you can accidentally put them so close that grout doesn’t get adequately pressed into the crack during the grouting process.

Compatibility

These tiles have a NOMINAL thickness of 1/8 inch (4mm), which is the same nominal thickness as most of the glass tile we sell, but these run slightly thicker by a hair.

Cutting Morjo 12mm Glass Mosaic Tile

The MORJO brand cuts like butter into tiny pieces using a pair of Mosaic Glass Cutters. You can make tiny cubes without a lot slivers or cutting waste. This makes them ideal for micromosaic or rendering small details in larger work.

Use in Mosaic Art

The color palette of the Morjo Recycled Glass Mosaic Tile is rich in hue and tint, and this makes it a professional rendering tool suitable for portaiture and murals. The 12mm (~1/2 inch) size is sufficiently large for conventional applications, but the material cuts very cleanly into small pieces that can be used for micromosaic artwork.

Swampthang Assortment 3/4-Inch Glass Mosaic Tile Mix 1-lb

Our Swampthang Glass Mosaic Tile Mix is a 1-lb assortment of 3/4-inch venetian glass tile with swampy greens, earthy browns, and bold orange. It consists of mostly Lojee-Nojee™ tile with a smooth and even texture. See our Green and Brown Morjo™ Vitreous 3/4-inch assortments to compare. Mix and match Swampthang along with these or use on its own to create woodland landscapes, fall-toned designs and more. In mixed media applications, this assortment could blend particularly well with our gemstones, minerals, and marble tile.

For a similar mini version, see the Fairy Woodland Mix.

Product Coverage

Each pound covers 0.69 square feet assuming a standard grout spacing of 1/16 inch. To cover 1 square foot, 218 tiles are required. Note that cutting tiles generates some scrap, so you may want to budget 5% extra.

Compatibility

Because the 3/4 inch size (20mm) and 1/8 inch nominal thickness (4mm) is industry standard, you can combine these tiles with a wide variety of brands.

Cutting Glass Tile

We recommend the Mosaic Glass Cutter for cutting all types of glass mosaic tile including these. Note, however, that there is a limit to how small they can be cut. Due to their tapered edges, small pieces will tend to tip over. We advise cutting halves and quarters and diagonal triangles, and not much smaller than that. For creating outlines and other details, check out our Rectangle Border Tiles or our Outliners Mosaic Sticks™.

Mounting Tile

Weldbond adhesive works well for mounting dry indoor mosaics. However, to permanently set outdoor and wet mosaics, use thinset mortar.

Use in Mosaic Art

The affordability, ease of use and durability of these tiles makes them suitable for community projects, children’s arts and crafts, and murals. The pigment quality also lends itself equally well to photorealistic mosaic images and detailed fine art.

Glass Jar for Mosaic Tile Display, 8 oz, Tall, Straight-Sided, with Gold-tone Lid

mosaic-tile-studio-display-jar-8oz

Our 8 oz Tall Straight-Sided Glass Jars with Gold-tone Lid is suitable for holding small glass tiles for color-palette displays, gift presentations, and basic studio use. These the perfect size for holding about half a pound or more of glass tile in a relatively tall shape, thus allowing you to display a rainbow of colors side by side on a single shelf. The tall shapes of the jars also make it easier to rinse and drain tile to remove dust and slivers formed by cutting.

Product Specifications

  • glass jar screw-cap finish
  • includes gold-tone lid
  • volume: 8 oz
  • capacity: 0.5 to 0.75 lbs of 8mm glass tile
  • width: 2.2 inch
  • height: 5.1 inch
  • TILE NOT INCLUDED

Glass Jar for Mosaic Tile Display

There is a human-factors aspect to displaying/storing tile in this way. It’s the opposite of “out of sight, out of mind.” When the color palette is readily visible, artists make better decisions about color.

That is why many experienced artists keep a color wheel tacked to their easel. They are painfully aware that what a color looks like depends on what other colors are around it. Having your colors arranged and on display in a format where you can easily put one color next to another is a huge advantage in the studio.

Do You Need To Buy This?

This is something you might be able to source in your own recycling and not need to purchase from us, especially if you drink the same bottled juice or iced coffee everyday.
