      Q:Many reviews mention that a water-soluble glue is holding the tiles to the backing and that the tiles come off of the backing when using a wet saw. Has this issue been addressed? Are the tiles glued to the mesh backing using a different adhesive now?
      by|Jan 17, 2024
      1 Answer
      Answer This Question

      A:  HI Hallie! Thank you for your question! This tile is a mosaic so it has mesh backing. To ensure proper installation with the mesh backing, we recommend speaking with your licensed installer as installing mosaics needs more time and attention to detail. The tiles can be easily manipulated on the mesh backing to ensure proper placement. If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out to our Customer Service Team at 800-963-7652 and we will be happy to assist you! Have a great day!- Stephanie C

          Looks great! Pay attention to which way is up
          Looks great! Fairly easy and straight forward to install. Dont forget to stagger it a bit, also keep an eye on which side is up as they are not a perfect square and the flowers will not line up if you flip flop them up/down. Use a white mortar too, you’ll appreciate it when it comes time to clean up!

            We installed this tile in a small bathroom. The quality of the tile is great, but laying a small hex tile is not a simple project. We first laid and cut the tile sheets to achieve the desired pattern. This took a little time because the tile sheets aren't square. Once set, laying and installing went good. We are very happy with the finished project, but definitely not a beginners tile project!

              The sheets backing held together very well which is needed during installation of these type 1” tile. I made my own pattern cutting out and taping colors together using painters tape on top. Overall they worked quite well and the finished floor looks fantastic.

              Picked up this Merola Tile Metro Hex 1 in. Glossy Lavender 10-1/4 in. x 11-7/8 in. Porcelain Mosaic Tile for our kitchen back splash. It will help you transform your space into a tribute to retro design with this Metro Hex 1 in. Glossy Lavender 11-7/8 in. x 10 in. Porcelain Floor and Wall Mosaic Tile. As a modern deviation from the classic mosaic, this fresh option is a throwback to traditional retro design with a contemporary feel. Glossy lavender purple hexagons are arranged on an interlocking mesh to create a seamless installation. This minimalistic geometric porcelain mosaic is unique yet simplistic enough to integrate into any design, ranging from traditional style renovations to modern home projects.

              These are cute tiles - the lavender looks great and adds subtle color without being too much. It’s slight and cooling but not obtrusive if that makes sense. These are perfect for a laundry room backsplash or maybe a bathroom. As with similar tiles you have to be careful to get the spacing right so that you can’t tell where one sheet ends and another begins. These are lovely and look and feel great

              The Metro Hex 1 in. Glossy Lavender 10-1/4 in. x 11-7/8 in. Porcelain Mosaic Tile (8.65 sq. ft./Case) is a sharp looking tile. The small size of the hex provides for an interesting design with a lot of flexibility in small spaces. The mesh backing makes handling and installation easy. The tiles look a bit more muted/gray on the website than in person, but gives a nice lavender accent color.

              Metro Hex 1 in. Glossy Lavender 10-1/4 in. x 11-7/8 in. Porcelain Mosaic Tile is great if you want to add a splash of color to your shower floor or a back splash. The tiles have a very smooth texture. They are somewhat skid resistant for your shower floor. It doesn't take to much work to install them. Once installed they are easy to maintain and keep clean.

              The tile arrived in a very secure and well packaged box. Each sheet is individually wrapped to protect the gloss and shine from being damaged. The hue of the purple is perfect for my white egg shell walls with stainless steel appliances. I will be purchasing more to cover the entire backsplash as this is just so beautiful. I absolutely love the tile design and shape. Highly recommended!
