What helps us choose
A mosaic is made of small pieces on a sheet. You lay the whole sheet.
01The piece
The Mosaic Factory Sevilla SEF20575: 2 × 14.5 cm. Bisazza Vetricolor VTC 10.13: 1 × 1 cm.
02The sheet
Usually about 30 × 30 cm. The joints between sheets must match the joints within them.
03Mesh or paper
A mesh on the back or paper on the front holds the pieces. This matters in pools and wet rooms: there Bisazza recommends paper.
04Curves
Small pieces can follow a curve, depending on the item and the radius. Lay slim fingers across the bend.

Mosaic has many joints. Their colour changes the whole surface.
Light
Calm, like one piece.
Mid
Grid shows, but calm.
Dark
Strong contrast.
AI-generated material study, not a product photo. Bring a photo of the neighbouring tiles or the kitchen fronts; test the grout colour on a sample.
Four makers; sizes and uses as stated by the manufacturer. Ask for price and delivery time per series by email to office@steineundfliesen.at; the text is prepared. More small formats at Etruria and Cotto Elias.
Glazed porcelain
Slim fingers, the well-known “KitKat” tiles, in many colours. Pictured: Terra Cotta. According to the data sheet, SEF20575 Sage Green Matt is listed for walls, indoors and outdoors, and pools, not for floors. We check other colours per article.

Grout is not waterproofing
In a shower, plan waterproofing, adhesive and grout together. Grout alone does not keep water out.
Epoxy or cement?
Epoxy grout is especially resistant and easy to clean. A shower does not automatically need epoxy; for pools Bisazza prescribes an epoxy system.
Plan the quantity
In our examples a sheet covers 0.086 to 0.104 m², so 1 m² takes about 10 to 12 sheets (Opus Romano, 29.3 cm: about 11.7). We round the order up and include cuts, a reserve and pack sizes.
Care depends on the product
Care and sealing depend on the product and the grout. Some matt types are sealed before grouting. Ask for the right cleaner and test it on a sample first.
Mind the thickness
The Bisazza mosaics here are 4 mm thick, The Mosaic Factory Sevilla SEF20575 is 8 mm. Where mosaic meets other tiles, the tiler plans the adhesive so the surfaces are flush.
Yes, with the right product. What matters is barefoot slip resistance, waterproofing and grout. According to the manufacturer, Winckelmans small formats are barefoot C. Finger mosaic such as The Mosaic Factory Sevilla SEF20575 is not listed for floors. We are happy to check your build-up: email office@steineundfliesen.at.
Bisazza glass mosaic, laid with the prescribed system of adhesive and epoxy grout. For Bisazza Gloss the manufacturer excludes thermal pools, especially with sulphurous water. Some products from The Mosaic Factory are also listed for pools. We check the product for your pool.
No. Mosaic is a format: small pieces on a sheet. Mosaic comes in glass, glazed porcelain, unglazed ceramic or glass enamel. This page shows glass, glass enamel and ceramic.
Yes, if the pieces and the sheet suit it. Small pieces can follow a curve, depending on the item and the radius; lay slim fingers such as The Mosaic Factory Sevilla across the bend.
That depends on the product. For some matt types the manufacturer prescribes sealing before grouting, for example Micro. for Micromosaics White Matt.
