The expansion of New York’s subway system in the

station names. Mosaics fi lled that need as they are adaptable:

fi elds and borders customized to each station created

MADE TO

ORDER

Made-To-Order mosaic designs from historic tile catalogs of the 1920’s.

European CE product Thoroughly tested to the

standard for ceramic tile, an internationally-recognized mark of quality.

The eighteenth century archeological

excavations lead to a rediscovery

of classical antiquity. Th e ancient

patterns uncovered in these digs were

quickly incorporated in government and

institutional buildings of the era. Mosaic

patterns of this period are

usually classical in tone with the Greek key most widely

used.

Queen Anne homes, popular in

the US during the Victorian

era, were characterized by a decorative

exuberance. With their polychrome

painted facades, wrap around porches,

and tiled entrances, these homes can’t

be missed! Mosaic patterns of that period

are usually very colorful and framed with a

decorative border.

Period Styles

Tel: 888-387-32803

QUEEN ANNE VICTORIAN 1875-1890

NEOCLASSICAL 1885-1930

The bungalow home may come in a

variety of sizes, but usually feature

overhanging low-pitched roofs, off -set

entrances and asymmetrical facades. Th ese

characteristics impart a sense of coziness

and stand in contrast to the formality of the

preceding Victorian

era. Mosaic patterns here are simple with the

color themes closely matched to the wall colors.

“Art for all” was the driving principle of

this movement. Art Nouveau originated

in Europe at the end of the 19th century

and featured curvaceous lines and natural

motifs. Mosaics during this time are

characterized by fl orals and nature elements.

ART NOUVEAU 1890-1914

BUNGALOW 1895-1940

Craftsman homes, fully functioning

works of art in which we live, focus

on the craft of all the finishes. Natural

materials are used throughout, wood,

brick, stone, glass and of course, tile,

which offers functional beauty intrinsic

to these homes. Mosaics, composed of rich

colors and earthy tones are representative

of the handmade creative effusion of that

time.

CRAFTSMAN 1900-1935

The term “art deco” was coined from

the 1925 international exhibit held at

Paris’s Musee des Arts Decoratifs. Th is

period, embodying faith in progress and

modern machinery, featured geometric

shapes, rectilinear patterns and colorful

stylization of the organic and mechanical. Mosaics were

characterized by geometrics and rectilinear lines and

lavish use of color.

ART DECO 1920-1930

Art Moderne showed a restraint

following the lavish ornamentation

of Art Deco. Art Moderne - or Streamline

Moderne - took its inspiration from the

growth of speed, travel and technology. Th is

is refl ected in geometric forms, horizontal

lines, chevrons, and zigzags evocative of the

era’s technological advances. Wall surfaces were typically

light and trimmed with bright or darker colors and the

mosaics echoed these color tones.

STREAMLINE MODERNE 1930-1940

MID CENTURY MODERN 1940-1970

A forward looking style advocating

simplicity in form, usage of

readily available materials and mass

production. Interior design elements

reflected these same principles which

were often simple in form with bold

colors and patterns inspired by the space age

era. Mosaics of this era were characterized

by modular shapes, using variations on classic

patterns like the checkerboard, spiral and weaves

in colors coordinated with the walls.

Installation & Care Guidelines

Prepare the substrate to be as at and de-fect free as possible. This ensures an even installation and minimizes mortar pushing through.

Lay one sheet at a time. Check alignment and consistency of spacing between sheets .

Use water to remove any hazing or resi-due. Seal all porcelain tile and allow to dry a minimum of 12 hours.

* if applicable

Dry laying the tile is recommended. Adjust the pattern and cut the tiles to t the space. Number the sheets and stack them for quick and correct installation.

Use a grout oat, speed square or block of wood to push tiles at into mortar while setting. Repeat step 3 until all sheets are laid. Let dry.

Use sanded grout, keep grout oat at with tile surface, do not overwipe and cre-ate shallow joints. Wait 72 hours for curing. Reseal all tile/grout as needed.

For more information: refer to the TCNA Manual (Tile Council of North America), current edition for tile installation stan-dards and methods.

Apply mortar using a 1/8”- 3/16” V-notch or U-notch trowel for tiles 2”or smaller. Work 2-4 square foot section at a time to prevent mortar skim over.

Wait a minimum of 12 hours before remov-ing face tape. Pull plastic o at the horizon-tal (against tile). A heat gun can be used 6-8 inches from oor to loosen bond.
