Nice looking tile. Would have given them 5 stars, but some of the tile came loose from their netting and had to be reglued before being laid.

Hi! Thank you for sharing your feedback! We are sorry to hear about your experience with our Crag Herringbone Sunset Slate. As for cutting this product, we advise laying out as much of a full sheet as possible then trimming the mesh with scissors to isolate areas which require cutting. Individual chips which require cuts can be removed from the mesh backing then cut. We recommend using a wet saw with a diamond tipped blade as that will offer the best cut with the least chance of breakage. Attempting to cut full mosaic sheets with a wet saw may dissolve the adhesive and cause pieces to separate from the backing.

For starters these are UNGAUGE slate, meaning they are different thickness ranging from 4mm to 12mm. I did a small 32 square bathroom floor and I had 3 different sheet piles to work with; Thick, medium and thin. Not all the hexagons were cut well, and some were badly miss aligned where I have to cut them out and reposition them. So what should have taken me 2 to 3 hours to set, turn into 3 day pain in the butt. In the end it does look pretty, but not worth all the headaches I well though.

Hi, thank you for sharing your impressions of our Crag Hexagon Sunset Slate and we’re sorry to hear about your experience. We have forwarded your comments about the alignment consistency to the appropriate teams who will pursue any necessary remedies to ensure the quality of this product. We do want to clarify for you and future customers that because this mosaic is made from natural stone, it’s intended to have variation in surface height and pattern. We do want to also note that if necessary, individual chips can easily be removed from the mesh backing and set to ensure spacing consistency. We appreciate your feedback!

    It arrived nice and "sparkly". Just how my wife wanted it. getting the grout out of the grooved tile turned out to be VERY difficult. I have installed many types of tile. This one was one of the hardest to grout.

    Hi! Thank you for sharing your feedback of our Crag Quad Black Quartzite. We do want to clarify for you and future customers that if excess grout is not cleaned in a timely manner during installation, grout haze may form over the surface of your tile and negatively impact the appearance of your floor. Grout haze will trap excess dirt and make cleaning your tile difficult. If grout haze is an issue, we recommend using a grout haze remover to minimize the haze after installation. Home Depot always recommends Custom Building Products installation materials and they offer a non-cement grout haze remover that can be found here, http://thd.co/2igYxY0. We also recommend sealing natural stone tiles because of their unglazed finish in order to help preserve the look of the tile. We stand by the quality of our products and encourage you to contact us at 1-800-963-7652 with any concerns.

    Absolutely loved the herringbone style and the color, however our contractor wasn't able to cut it without it separating, splitting, shattering breaking off. he used his top of the line water cutting saw and couldn't keep the pieces together which means for a lot of added time to fix and replace which some were impossible. too bad we loved the color and pattern. The Stars would be high if it was just how the product looked and felt but the stars are low because of how it cut

    Hi! We’re happy to hear that you loved the style and color of our Crag Herringbone Sunset Slate. When cutting mosaic tile, we recommend trimming the mesh to fit your space, then removing individual chips from the mesh and making individual cuts using a wet saw with a diamond tipped blade as that will offer the best cut with the least chance of breakage. Cut chips can then easily be set back in place. We stand behind the quality of our products and appreciate your feedback, if you have any other questions or concerns please contact us at 1-800-963-7652.

    Hi, thank you for sharing your feedback of our Crag Quad Black Quartzite mosaic tile and we’re sorry to hear about your experience.

    This tile is beautiful and looks very nice as a kitchen back splash. It was a little hard to install due to varying thickness of the natural stone.

    These tiles are very nice. I had ordered 16 cases of these as I am using them on a balcony floor. These tiles arrived in pretty good condition. However, each mosaic comes with 8 individual tiles, and of the 16 boxes I ordered, at least 30 individual tiles were broken. So if you are ordering these tiles, I would highly suggest you go over on what you need by 15%, just to make sure. Some of these tiles are thicker than others, I wasn't expecting that, I assumed that when they were cut the thickness would all be the same, they are not. If you are using these to go on a wall, that wont be a problem, however if you are using them for a floor, keep this in mind. I would definitely recommend these tiles and would buy again, very happy overall.

    The look of the tile came out great with the rough surface. The installers said it took a little more time to grout than smooth tile.

    Such a stunning tile! My project turned out different than I expected because the tile needed to be sealed before installation, which deepened the color tones, but I love it!

    I like the tile and the color come out after wiping the surface. Three stars because of the quality. 5 - 12 x12 pieces are noticeably thinner and don't match up with the thicker tile. Some of the triangles are attached crooked, some triangles are tight against the one next to it and there is no spacing for grout. Other triangles are split and the top half of the stone falls off so now you have two triangle pieces one still attached to the backing the other half in your hand. I only need 15 tiles and decided I can make it work with thicker mortar base, cutting loose the crooked triangles and those without grout spacing and by gluing the split triangles together. If I send back the bad tiles will I have a good color match and which thickness will they send me. These are going on the floor and other items will be set on top of some and won't be seen.

    Looks really great installed. Just one critical comment; it would be another level cool if the pattern were just a bit bigger making it just a tiny bit less busy. Nonetheless we are quite happy with it.
