Answer This Question
A: Mosaic tiles can be cleaned using warm water and a cloth.
For deeper cleaning a mild detergent or glass cleaner can be used.
Do not use abrasive sponges or cleaning agents with strong chemicals as this may harm
the metal mosaics.

Answer This Question
A: Thank you for your interest in the MSI Silver Aluminum Pattern Mosaic Tile. Please note without dimensions we cannot accurately suggest an amount to order. Good luck with your project!
by|Nov 19, 2019
A: It’s a 12x12 tile. I would imagine you would need a lot depending on your fireplace.
Note that they are difficult to clean. I spray them and let dirt roll off since it gets stuck in the different bits

Q:Would it be possible to use 2 sided tape to adhere tiles to wall?
by|May 11, 2019
5 Answers
Answer This Question
A: Thank you for your interest in the MSI Silver Aluminum Pattern Metal Mosaic Tile. We do not recommend using double sided tape to adhere the tiles to the wall. For best results we recommend using a thinset or mortar adhesive. This will ensure the tiles do not fall off. Good luck with your project!
by|May 14, 2019
A: No. It's not solid on the back side. It's a mesh designed to be adhered to the wall using mastic.
by|May 12, 2019
A: Yes it is possible, but the back of these tiles are not solid. The tiles are made of aluminum channel, so you only have the edges of the channel to adhere the tape to. The surface you see is the bottom of the channel.

A: You can but that is NOT the correct way to install tile. I would use either thin set or mastic. If the tile is thin and light weight, then mastic will work fine but if the tile is 1/4" or thicker, I would use thinset. Also if the wall is not perfectly flat, thinset is a better choice.
by|May 13, 2019
A: I would not use tape on the wall for this application. I installed this tile on a ceiling over a center island and I used mastic with a small "V" notch trowel and it worked fine. Unless you cover the entire area with tape, I believe that the pieces that were not taped will possibly fall off. Acrylic mastic for tiling purposes is the right way to go and it is less expensive that taping up an entire wall.
