London mosaic supply sheeted tiles and offer a comprehensive consultation based on your requirements. The result - an excellent and authentic end product delivered with precision and professionalism

Supply options

Loose - All our tiles can be supplied loose or as individual tiles.

Standard sheets - Tile component sheets are created in-house. These are then cut and adjusted by the tiler where necessary for installation. No installation diagram is supplied unless requested. This service is ideal if the tiler is prepared to undertake the planning and layout.

Bespoke sheets - The design is created to your specifications. You will need to send us a foot print sketch diagram, we then create a scaled version of the design. The sheets are a mixture of standard sheets used to cover the majority of the area. The remaining sheets are custom built to ensure clean straight edges with no cutting. This mainly applies to the field of the design. Please note the border designs are only partially sheeted and the inner and outer border tiles are always supplied loose. The outer tile is always supplied as a larger tile which is then cut to fill the extremity.

London Mosaic has been supplying floors in this style for more than three years with many of our own installations using this process. This product and proven technique means that any good qualified tiler can easily install and create an authentic looking Victorian tiled design. With this unique system you do not require a specialist Victorian tiler as with our system only a small quantity of tiles are laid individually. We have many satisfied customers including tilers, building contractors, architects and private clients. Over the coming months we will be loading up component sheets as products for purchase. All of our sheets are created in house using the highest quality materials.

Why use sheeted tiles?

1.The film is very hard to tear or stretch but can be easily cut with a craft knife for minor adjustments.

2. Transparent film allows the installer to view the design. The adhesive is water resistant, so no adhesion is lost due to accidental exposure to water.

3.The film is mounted on the face of the tiles allowing 100% contact of the back of the tile to the mortar and protects the grout lines from dirt etc during the installation.

4.Full contact with the face of the tile means it has self levelling properties, eliminating minor discrepancies in tile thickness.

5.Ensures accurate alignment, minimal grout lines resulting in a crisp clean finish (approx 1-1.5mm grout lines).

6.When the tiles have been fixed and set, the clear film is simply peeled off, leaving no residue on the surface of the tile.

7. Sheets are easily stored and trasported. We label all our boxes with the appropriate contents.

8. Sheet position diagrams detail a precise layout for the installer to follow.

TILE SPECIFICATIONS: Full vitrification of these tiles ensures longevity. This modern tile is durable, resistant, and easily maintained. They are resistant to scratches from foot traffic and machinery passing over them. The tiles will maintain their original colour for many years as the colour is solid throughout the body. With a very low porosity they can be used in all conditions, inside and out, on floors or walls and are equally suitable for dry and humid atmospheres. These tiles conform to the NFP 61-405 standards (class B1 of the European EN176 standards) They comply with classifications U4,P4, E3 and C2.
