The Usage and Maintenance of Shell Mosaic Tile

Natural shell colors may vary from piece to piece which enhances the natural beauty of the product.

 

Usage
 Please be advised that shell mosaic should not be placed in direct sunlight as this may cause it to fade over time. It is also not suitable for external use.Installation
 All substrates should be firmly fixed, flat, clean, dry and free of contaminants such as dust, oil, paint, sealers etc. to ensure proper adhesion. Wet areas need special attention and require appropriate substrates, e.g. concrete, cement boards (compressed sheet), and/or treated plywood. The use of reinforced waterproof membranes is suggested.
 Shell mosaic tiles can be installed around gently curved surfaces. Some alterations of the tile may be required in order to create uniformity.
 The shells can easily be cut with a curved splitting clamp, glass cutter or a wet saw. The mesh back or plastic fronts can be easily cut with a utility knife.
 Particular care should be taken to use the correct adhesive, grout and sealants. Using wrong setting material can cause damage to the color and beauty of glass mosaic. The installer is responsible for choosing and using the correct installation practices to achieve an acceptable finished product. Mir Mosaic is in no way responsible for the damages caused to the shell mosaic by wrong setting material, grout or sealer. Follow the adhesive and grout manufacturer’s instructions carefully. The shell mosaic is translucent, please be sure to use a white adhesive.
 Clean excess adhesive before it completely dries on the tiles with a damp cloth or sponge.
 Grouting may be done after tile is firmly set – approximately 24 hours after installation. Clean the surface with a clean, damp sponge. We recommend using a non-sanded grout. Excess grout should be cleaned from the surface as the work progresses, while grout is fresh and before it hardens. Prior to grouting, test in a small area to make sure the surface does not scratch during grouting.

 

Maintenance Shell mosaic tiles must be regularly cleaned and maintained to extend the life and beauty of the tile. Use only a mild, pH-neutral detergent cleaner and damp sponge or rag to clean your mosaic. Acid, alkaline, and solvent-based cleaners can damage and/or discolor the tiles and the grout. Keep surfaces clean from abrasive dirt and do not use abrasive cleaners, powders, scouring pads, steel wool or sandpaper. Do not allow soap, bleach or other cleaning solutions set on the surface. Do not wax any part of your mosaic. Do not let stains sit on your mosaic’s surface for extended periods. Clean promptly.
 If you install and maintain your shell mosaics, you can have such clean, tidy and bright kitchen or bathroom.

Do you know the secret of shell mosaic?

Mother of pearl, also called nacre, is an iridescent layer of material that forms the shell lining of many mollusks. Pearl oyster and abalone are both sources of this substance, which is widely used as an inlay in jewelry, furniture, and musical instruments. Mother of pearl comes in several natural colors, but is often bleached and dyed for decorative use. The dye retains the shimmering layers which make the material so sought after. Nacre is a tough and resilient material, but it is relatively soft and easily scratched.

The pearly lining of mollusk shells has long been noted by people living near the ocean. Many early cultures used it extensively in jewelry and it came to be highly prized. Although not as popular as it once was, many modern cultures still appreciate its beauty and mother of pearl continues to be used in jewelry, ornaments, furniture inlays and musical instruments. Some homes integrate it into tiles and other fixtures, although it is no longer used extensively.

Nacre has been much studied by scientists interested not only in its strength and durability, but also in what it can tell them about the conditions in which it formed. The thickness and structure of the layers secreted by marine mollusks depends on the temperature and water pressure. It is therefore possible to obtain valuable information about past conditions from the study of fossilized material.
Even in modern society, a society full of various decorative material, mother of pearl still has its value—decorating home. Its natural feeling and bright color make them praised by many designers when decorating houses.

In earlier time, people use mother of pearl as money. In modern time, people use mother of pearl to decorate house. Even in different function, the beauty mother of pearl  showing never changes just like the picture showing.
