Installation & care

Made to stay

Natural stone asks for little: a sound installation and a soft cloth.

Installing your mosaic

  1. 1

    Choose the wall

    Our artworks are designed for wall installation. Choose a sound wall that can carry the weight of the piece, away from constant steam.

  2. 2

    Plan the fixing

    Professional installation is recommended using appropriate fixing materials and methods for the artwork's weight, backing and wall surface.

  3. 3

    Install & level

    Set the artwork in place and check it with a spirit level before the fixings are fully tightened.

  4. 4

    Step back

    Look at it in morning and evening light. Natural stone changes subtly through the day.

Everyday care

Dust gently with a soft, dry brush or microfibre cloth. For a deeper clean, wipe with a slightly damp cloth and dry straight away.

Where a mosaic feels at home

  • Living spaces

    Interior walls — the natural place for a natural stone artwork.

  • Bathrooms

    Suitability for humid areas depends on the stone and is verified separately.

  • Outdoors

    Outdoor suitability must be verified separately for each artwork and location.

  • Floors & public spaces

    Selected designs are available for suitable flooring projects upon request.

Care questions

  • Can I hang my mosaic in direct sunlight?
    Natural stone holds its colour well, but strong sun can heat the backing. A bright wall without hours of direct sun is ideal.
  • A piece has come loose. What now?
    Keep the piece, photograph the spot and contact us. We will assess it and advise on the repair.
  • Can a mosaic go outside or on the floor?
    Our artworks are designed for wall installation. Outdoor and wet-area suitability must be verified separately. Selected designs are available for suitable flooring projects upon request; requirements depend on the selected natural stone, surface preparation, expected foot traffic and project specifications.
  • How do I move house with my mosaic?
    Natural stone is heavy: always lift with two people, keep the artwork upright and wrap it face-first in a blanket.
