Natural Stone

Natural stone mosaic: marble or river stone

Those looking for natural stone mosaic can choose from marble and river stone with us. Marble is somewhat rougher and therefore more porous than river stone. River stone is therefore more solid and smooth. Do you want marble natural stone mosaic at your home? Then you can also choose from square mosaics or so-called pebbles. River stone mosaic we have only in pebbles.

All natural stone mosaic is available in various earth tones, such as ivory, tan and gray. As such, these colors fit perfectly into an interior with a warm and organic feel. Keep in mind that this is a natural product and the actual colors of your natural stone mosaic may vary. This adds to the characteristic look of the tiles, but is important to remember.

Advantages and disadvantages of mosaic natural stone

Natural stone is a beautiful material. It adds atmosphere and character to a room and contributes to a warm look. On the other hand, natural stone mosaic requires more maintenance than porcelain or ceramic mosaic tiles, for example. Marble, for example, is very porous, so marble natural stone mosaic should be impregnated in time with a suitable agent. Want to know which agents are suitable? Feel free to contact us.

Mosaic made of river stone is not porous and therefore does not need to be impregnated as often as the marble natural stone tiles. However, river stone pebbles are uneven in height, which can be annoying when standing if you incorporate them on your bathroom floor, for example. In addition, with uneven natural stone mosaic, you need much more grout when processing. Grout easily attracts dirt, so pebbles also require relatively high maintenance.

Applications

You can incorporate natural stone mosaic in all sorts of places in your interior. We are particularly fans of processing in the bathroom. For example, on the wall behind the sink or the toilet, but also on the floor of the walk-in shower or around the bathtub. This way you create a real spa feeling in the bathroom, allowing you to completely relax every day!

Are you going to install natural stone mosaic in an area where the tiles get wet regularly? Then it is important that you use an epoxy grout. This is because epoxy grouting has a smooth structure that makes it harder for dirt to penetrate. This prevents lime from the water from damaging the joints and natural stone mosaic irreparably.

Maintenance of natural stone mosaic

Of course, you want to keep your natural stone mosaic as beautiful as possible. That starts with choosing the right grout and ends with maintenance. In any case, we recommend using natural cleaning products such as green soap. Acidic agents are best avoided, as they can corrode and damage the natural stone mosaic.

Want to give the natural stone mosaic a good scrub? Then preferably use a soft cloth or chamois. Steel brushes and scouring sponges are best left out, as they can damage the mosaic tiles. Finally, it is important to keep the tile surface dry, as lime in stagnant water can damage the joints and lead to leaks.
