Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a custom mosaic cost?
Every piece is unique. Pricing is calculated individually and depends on total square footage, the intricacy of the design, and the type of tiles used. I provide a transparent, detailed quote during Step 2 before any financial commitment is made.
How long does the process take?
Depending on my current studio calendar and the scale of your design, a custom commission typically takes between 4 to 12 weeks from the date the deposit is received to final delivery. I will give you a specific timeline estimation during our initial consultation.
Can your mosaics be installed outdoors or in wet areas like showers?
Yes! Mosaics are incredibly resilient. However, outdoor installations, swimming pools, and showers require specialized waterproof backings, frost-proof tiles, and chemical-resistant grouts. Please let me know the final environment during our consultation so I can engineer the substrate correctly.
How do I hang or install the finished artwork?
For framed wall art, the piece will arrive ready to hang with heavy-duty structural hardware. For architectural installations (walls, floors, backsplashes), the mosaic is created on flexible mesh or lightweight cement board sections. I provide comprehensive instructions for your local tile installer or contractor to ensure a seamless mount.
