Buying Guide
What size suits my project?
- Small, detailed work: 1″ squares or 1″ x 2″ rectangles offer precision.
- Medium mosaics: 4″ tiles provide a bold base with fewer pieces.
Which finish and thickness matter?
- 1/8″ thick tiles are common for mosaics and intricate patterns.
- 1/16″ thickness is less common; verify compatibility with your adhesive or setting method.
Are domed cabochons a separate category?
- Cabochons are best for jewelry, pendants, and decorative accents rather than flat mosaics.
- They require different backing or settings depending on the project.
Material considerations
- Clear glass provides high transparency and scratch resistance but can be heavier than acrylic.
- Avoid mixing glass and acrylic in a single project if adhesion or warping could occur due to different expansion rates.
