How Mosaic Tables Are Made
Every mosaic table is made to order and exists only once. Each piece of stone or glass is cut and set by hand, resulting in a single piece for your home, your office or as a gift.
Step by step
1. Design
We agree the space, size and colours, then draw the pattern on paper. For geometric patterns the repeating module is first tried out dry.
2. Material and cutting
Glass mosaic, marble or natural stone pieces are sorted by colour. Edge and curve pieces are cut one by one with mosaic nippers to fit the top.
3. Setting
The pattern is set from the centre outwards, row by row. Keeping the gaps even everywhere decides how clean the finished table looks.
4. Grout and cleaning
Once the adhesive has cured, the gaps are filled with grout, the excess is wiped off and the surface is polished. Natural stone tops are sealed against stains.
5. Base and final check
The top is fixed to the chosen metal or wooden base and given a final clean. We follow one table through the whole process in the making of a checkerboard table.
Frequently asked questions
