Once I place an order, how long will it take to get to me?

Depending on where your order is shipped, ground shipping can take up to 5 working days for the US West Coast or overnight in Florida. You do have the option to select any of the several air shipping options.
How do I install a mosaic?
Our first recommendation is to allow your pool contractor to install your mosaics. Some contractors may void your warranty if you install it yourself, so you need to talk with your contractor first. If all is good, then click here to read our article on DIY installation. We also recommend that you contact The Tile Council of North America for their publication titled TCNA Handbook. There is a cost for the publication.
How do I maintain swimming pool mosaics?
Swimming pool mosaics require minimal maintenance, but regular cleaning is necessary to keep them looking their best. You can use a mild detergent and a soft brush to clean the tiles, and avoid using abrasive cleaners or tools that could damage the surface. It's also important to maintain proper water chemistry to prevent staining or discoloration of the tiles.
Will my mosaics freeze in the winter?
The major manufacturers of mosaics for swimming pools, such as Artistry in Mosaics and Custom Mosaics make their products specifically to be used in a swimming pool. The ceramic clay they use is considered “frost proof” which means the mosaics will not crack when installed properly and remain below the pool’s water surface. If you want to install it outside of the pool, such as a wall, I would suggest you look for the phrase, in the Product Description, Frost Proof Porcelain. For extreme conditions, consider purchasing our Glass Mosaics. For more detail, check out our article on the subject.
Are there applications for your mosaics other than pool/spa?
Yes, the application opportunities for mosaics are endless. Whether the mosaic is one of our standards or a custom created from your design, mosaics have been used on bar tops, showers, kitchen backsplashes, interior/exterior walls, etc. Take a look at our article on applications other than the pool.
