Natural Stone Tesserae for Mosaic Artists

 

Stone Mosaic Tile Coverage 


Length: 15mm (9/16")
Width: 15mm (9/16")
Height: 7mm (3/16")

The height of these tiles are slightly more than the heights of vitreous tiles and unglazed ceramic tiles.

Approximately 320 tiles make a square foot leaving a space for grout of 1/16 inch.


The number of tiles in a half pound or pound bag varies depending on the weight of the stone.
Most stones have 55-58 tiles per half-pound. The lighter stones - China Beige, Gold Travertine, and Red Travertine - have more.

These tiles are thinner than standard marble mosaic tiles (7mm vs 10mm) giving you almost 40% more coverage for a half-pound or pound bag.
