DESIGNING A MOSAIC
www.mosaicarts.co.za
STEP 2 - DESIGN PROCESSWe put together a mood board with various design ideas and suggested materials. After the client makes a design selection, a discussion and design process is followed where if necessary additional conceptual designs are prepared until a nal concept is approved and signed off by the client.
STEP 3 – MANUFACTUREThe concept design is enlarged to full scale. The mosaic tiles are cut and glued to a paper face. The completed mosaic is cut into sections, numbered and packed into referenced boxes. The boxes are plastic wrapped and packaged for freighting. The entire process is completed at our studio in Pretoria.
STEP1 - INITIAL CONTACT
To start the process we need some informationŸ Design ideaŸ Size and dimensioned drawings/sketch Ÿ Plans and elevationsŸ ColoursŸ Finishes such as pool plaster and paving
colour, mosaic boarder edge colour.

INSTALLING MOSAIC POOL DESIGN

LAYING OUT DRY
The mosaic is supplied paper faced, xed to paper with a water-soluble glue. If needed a breglass mesh backing is added. The mosaic comes cut into interlocking puzzle type p ieces . Each p iece i s numbered and referenced on the back side with a dimensioned reference map included in every box. Usually it is best to lay out the mosaic dry before the installation to check how the pieces interlock. Do this on a clean, dry surface and ca re fu l l y re -pack the mosaic afterwards.
SURFACE
The surface where the mosaic is to be installed m u s t b e s m o o t h l y plastered. The mosaic will take the shape of the surface.
SURFACE PREPARATIONThe surface must be clean and free of dirt, grease, etc. We recommend painting cement surfaces with a cement primer as it greatly improves the adhesion.
ADHESIVE
We recommend using a grey cementi t ious t i le adhesive mixed only with a cement bonding liquid when xing a mosaic to a concrete pool.
METHOD
Spread the adhesive onto the surface where the mosaic is to be installed. Comb the adhesive with a notched trowel to achieve an even adhesive bed.
Support the mosaic sheet on a masonite board. Spread a thin layer of adhesive onto the back side of the mosaic. If the mosaic has a mesh backing make sure the adhesive presses through the mosaic mesh. Lay the mosaic sheet into the wet tile adhesive. Lay subsequent pieces the same way.
ADJUSTMENTS
After removing the paper oat the mosaic using a trowel oat and some water until all the tiles are level. Using a blade or small tool adjust the spacing between the tiles so that the joint lines are even throughout. Straighten any lines that distorted during oating.
Once the adhesive is dry it s impossible to oat the mosaic and correct any gaps or distorted lines. Clean the mosaic surface from any cement .
FINISHING
Allow the adhesive to dry for 48 hours without being disturbed in any way.
Grout the mosaic with grey cementitious grout mixed only with cementitious bonding liquid or epoxy grout.
