A variety of modern building materials gives modern persons almost unlimited scope for creativity in decoration
your home and working premises. Often this scope is limited only by income level and fantasy flight altitude. In addition to the finishing materials used, without exception, there are exclusive, not available to everyone. One of these materials is a mosaic, which is successfully used to decorate any rooms (and sometimes objects of an open landscape) along with tiles and porcelain tiles.. The mosaic principle of recruitment has been known since ancient times. The mosaics of the Roman era and Byzantium, not faded from time to time have reached our time. Then the mosaics were typed from split colored stones, today, as a rule, mosaics are made of glass or smalt. Separate elements with a size of about 20 x 20 mm are typed in the machine method on the base of a grid or paper, and are sold by sheets of about 30 x 30 cm in size (for different manufacturers these dimensions may differ) the colors of the glass mosaics are determined by the dye applied to the back and protected special composition. The lump mosaic is painted at the cooking stage, for the entire thickness, and usually has a matte texture. In operating properties, the lump and glass mosaics do not differ from each other. They are equally durable and decorative. Differences are only in aesthetics. The translucent or opacity of individual elements gives a different optical effect. To dwell on one or another mosaic material is exclusively a matter of taste. Mosaic can be used on horizontal and on vertical surfaces, but today, it is believed that this is still more wall material. Mosaic, due to its decorativeness, can be an excellent addition to the interior of any room, from its own bedroom to a conference hall in the presidential palace. It is also worth noting that mosaic is the best material for facing pools and showers, due to the lack of moisture absorption. And also becomes indispensable when facing curves of surfaces (columns, arch, etc.D.) By coloring, the mosaic can be divided into monocolor, where all the elements (“chips”) are of the same color; and mix, where several colors and shades are mixed in random order. When choosing, the type of delivery is significant: — “on the grid” — “chips” are glued with silicone glue to the grid of the wrong side, the adhesive composition for fixing on the surface is applied to the net; — “on paper”- “chips” are glued with water-soluble glue to the paper with the face. After fixing on the surface, the paper is moistened with a damp cloth and removed, leaving no traces on the mosaic surface. For gluing mosaics, specialized adhesive mixtures based on white cement are used that do not distort the colors. The level of prices for mosaics varies from “democratic” to “elite”: — in the range of 300-900 r/sq.m. -Small mosaics of blue, ocher flowers and shades, — 2000-3000 r/sq.m. -Glass mosaic without special frills, -O 5000 r/sq.m. and more (the upper limit is not limited)- textured glass with inserts made of natural stones like agates. Laying mosaics requires the highest qualification of the master; Not every tile will agree to work with this material. Payment of such work is comparable to the cost of the material, so this is far from cheap pleasure. Mosaic-Roader is not daily demand; Search for it is worth it in salons stores. In hypermarkets, in the presence of hundreds of possible options, you will be able to offer only a few standard and, as a rule, in blue-blue gamut. In specialized salons, in addition to the standard, you will be offered manually mosaic panels with any images. The cost of such works is measured by thousands of euros per square meter. It is also necessary to take into account that when ordering a mosaic suitable for you, you need to be prepared for the fact that you will not get it right away, and you will have to wait some time. Mosaic supplies can reach 1-2 months.
