Product Information
How Accurate Is The Colour In The Photographs?
While we make every effort to ensure our product photos are accurate representations, please note that individual computer screens may display colors differently. We recommend purchasing a small amount of a product before ordering large quantities. Additionally, please be aware that mosaic colors may vary in color, texture, and finish between batches.
My Tiles Have Ridges, Why Do They Look Different To The Photo?
Glass tiles often have ridges on the bottom of the tile, which help to adhere them securely to your project surface. The top of the tile is the flat and smooth side.
Does The Colour Of The Tiles Differ Between Batches?
While differences between batches are not common, they can occur. To ensure consistency throughout your project, we recommend purchasing all the materials you need in one go. Variations between products can occur because they are produced in batches by the manufacturer.
