Q.
What colour of joint do you recommend?
A.
For indoors: white or coloured joint filler can be used except on shower trays and bathroom floors, where grey filler is recommended. For outdoors and swimming pools, white filler is recommended
 
Q.
What is used to fill the joints?
A.
If you want a white joint, you can use the same adhesive used for laying the mosaic, otherwise you can use one of the many fillers for tiles on the market (for example: BAL, LATICRETE)
 
Q.
Can the mosaic be stuck on wood? On metal? On plasterboard?
A.
 The mosaic can be stuck anywhere, it is sufficient to buy the adhesive suitable for wood, metal or plasterboard.
 
Q.
Which adhesive do you recommend?
A.
Adhesives are the bonding agents between mosaics and substrate. A range of adhesives are available in the market with different specifications, according to the substrate to be laid on and the type of use the surface will be subjected to. Hence it is imperative that correct adhesive is selected for fixing of mosaics. Currently we would recommend "BAL" or "Laticrete" brand adhesives.
 
Q.
Can I use adhesive other than BAL or LATICRETE for your mosaic?
A.
As regards other adhesive, consult the supplier to ensure that it is suitable for mosaic. However we do not accept any responsibility for any adhesive (including BAL & Laticrete). All responsibilities will be of respective suppliers.
 
Q.
Is epoxy glue used in swimming pools? And if I use this type of glue, can I avoid doing waterproofing?
A.
Although glass mosaic is itself waterproof, it is not absolutely waterproofing, even when laid with epoxy glue. You are therefore recommended to waterproof the swimming pool with a suitable product and then stick on the mosaic.
 
Q.
How many days after laying the mosaic can I put water in the swimming pool?
A.
Not less than 20 days after laying the mosaic.
 
Q.
Can mosaic be laid on top of old tiles?
A.
Yes, as long as you ensure that the old covering is well anchored to the existing surface. Afterwards you must roughen the covering so as to allow the adhesive to get a good grip, level the roughed surface with a "smoothing" coat (max. 5 mm) and finally stick on the mosaic.
 
Q.
What is used to cut the mosaic?
A.
To cut the sheet, an electric cutting machine is used with a circular disc. To cut the single pieces, mosaic layer's pliers (manual cutter) are used.
 
Q.
When laying mosaic on a facade, is there any risk of the pieces falling off?
A.

This risk depends on the quality of laying and not on the quality of the mosaic.
