Preguntas frecuentes
What is onyx?
Onyx is an exotic, semi-precious natural stone that forms as a sedimentary parallel banded silicate mineral, typically inside limestone caves or cold spring orifices. It is created by the slow, drop-by-drop precipitation of cryptocrystalline calcite or aragonite water solutions over thousands of years. What sets onyx completely apart from other natural stones is its extreme translucency and high concentration of parallel crystalline bands. When light hits an onyx tile, it penetrates past the surface and illuminates the interior layers of the stone, showcasing dramatic, fiery ribbons of gold, green, rust, and cream.
Can you back-light onyx tile?
Yes, back-lighting is the defining luxury feature of onyx tile. Onyx is a translucent, cryptocrystalline form of quartz, allowing light to pass right through the body of the stone. Installing custom LED light panels directly behind an onyx slab or tile mosaic accentuates its dramatic, swirling geological veining, creating a breathtaking, glowing centerpiece.
Why is onyx more expensive and delicate than marble?
Onyx is a rare stone formed slowly in caves by cold spring water deposits, making it far scarcer than marble. Structurally, it contains prominent, natural fracture lines and is chemically soft. This rarity, combined with the specialized craftsmanship and fiberglass mesh backing required to reinforce, cut, and install it securely, drives its premium status and cost.
Where is the best place to install onyx in a home?
Onyx is best reserved for low-traffic, high-visibility vertical spaces or low-impact accent areas. Excellent placement options include powder room accent walls, fireplace surrounds, shower vertical borders, and luxury bar backsplashes. Due to its structural fragility and susceptibility to scratching, it is not recommended for high-traffic entryways or heavy-use kitchen countertops.
What are the mosaic sheets backed with?
Most mosaics are supplied on a mesh or paper backing that holds the individual pieces in position for easy installation. Sheets are designed to butt together so the joints stay consistent.
Where can mosaics be used?
On walls and floors, including splashbacks, feature walls, shower areas, and borders. For floors, check that the specific mosaic is rated for floor use.
How are mosaics installed?
The sheets are bedded into adhesive like standard tiles, then grouted once set. Because of the many small joints, a slightly more flexible adhesive and careful grouting give the best finish.
Can mosaic sheets be cut to fit?
Yes. Individual pieces can be removed from the backing, and sheets can be trimmed with tile nippers or a wet saw to fit edges and corners.
¿Cuánta superficie cubre cada box?
Cada box cubre aproximadamente 8.0 pies cuadrados. Calcule el área a cubrir y añada un 10% extra para cortes y desperdicio.
¿Puedo pedir una muestra antes de comprar?
Sí. Para este producto puede pedir una muestra tipo swatch o una muestra de tamaño completo antes de hacer un pedido completo.
