Any pics of Azuvi mosaics in 1x1 travertine and glass colors?

15 years ago

Just wondering since I think I have found my backsplash, FINALLY, if anyone actually has pictures of this installed?

The tops of some of the tiles are not actually dark that's just a shadow. Thanks!

This is beautiful and just what I have been looking for. Can I ask where you found this? Have you seen it online? Thanks.

I found it at San Diego Bath and Tile but have yet to find it anywhere online. I don't know if it is exclusive to them or not. I currently have International Bath and Tile in San Diego trying to see if they can get it so I can obtain the best price. All I know at this point is it is an Azuvi product. I will have to do a little more research on Monday to get more details.

using glass tiles!

Glass mosiac tile is an art unto itself. If it is "transparent," you will need to take into consideration the colour of the morter, as it WILL show through. If it does, you need to comb the (probably white) thinset onto the area with, probably an eighth inch, "U" notched trowel. Then, you need to use the flat edge to flatten the morter. Why? Well, the ridges will show up....and you won't like that at all. Now, let's talk about actually cutting the tile. If you've gone this far, I guess you have a good quality wetsaw....you'll need one. In addition, you will need a good blade that is designed to cut glass. Got all that? Good, now you can go to setting tile. If you haven't figured it out by now, understand that setting glass mosiac tile is the hardest and most expensive tiling that you can do. If you're a "First-Timer," I might discourage you from this. Do a smaller and simpler project first...and THEN, MEYBE go for it. Trust this: When faced with the type of installation you have described.....I charge double...

#@(*! Glass tile is making me crazy - mini subways, other ideas?
Q

kgwlisa, that's exactly what I was worried about - all those cut edges. If Bill V were my tile guy, I wouldn't hesitate, but... Anyway, I think we could afford to use that tile as a field tile, but that's a LOT of green - not sure I want to use that much of such a vibrant color. As for the idea of going modern in the bath, I've thought about it, but the rest of the apartment is definitely pre-war looking and I have no plans to renovate it anytime soon, if ever. There's something I love about period-feeling baths anyway, so I think we're going to stick with that (even if BF doesn't like the English-telephone-looking tub filler/handheld, LOL!). BTW, does anyone know anything about Elements of Design fixtures? They have a ton of really beautiful period fixtures but I'm concerned about buying crap... Here's a snapshot of some tile that I taped to the bathroom wall to try to get an idea of what my original wood-look floor/white subways/glass accent might look like: I know it's a terrible picture, and unfortunately the colors aren't really true, but I really like the blue-green tiles on the right with the faux wood and white (they're much bluer in real life). They look great with chrome fixtures, too. I think I'm going to go ahead with this color combo - I just need to decide whether to use the glass tiles in mini-subway size or 1x1s. I'm also going to browse a bit more this weekend to see if I can find something similar in a ceramic tile. Wish me luck!

Glass mosaic tile that looks like Mother of Pearl?

We are currently remodeling our master bath, and we are using the Walker Zanger Vintage Glass tile (color: Zinc Lustre, which is the color shown in the link in your second post). We love it! The tile is not currently 100% installed, and it is not yet grouted, so I am not ready to show pictures, but we are having it cover much of the bathroom. I like how it is subtly iridescent. It was definitely not inexpensive, but really makes a statement. I can't wait to see it finished.

Thanks for the feedback! Just picked up 2 different "TEC" grout colors: "sand" and taupe grey... I was really looking to NOT having the grout lines stand out but let the breaking light (from under cabinet halogen lights) really show the glass lines and shadows. Well, I'll do a 'dry test' today and will post the finished product later.

Carters5 - i would appreciate you keeping me in the loop. If you speak with them can you ask if it comes in any other sizes? I really appreciate your help b/c I think this is exactly what I want. Thanks again.

Sorry, it's actually San Diego Marble and Tile. Here's the site: http://www.sandiegomarbletile.com/

You might want to give them a call. I am not sure just when I might get around to it! Sorry. If I do get info I will try to post it, but no promises. Let me know if you get any additional info as well. It is really very pretty in person and keeps the natural feel but adds a little zing with the glass. Really cool, I think. Good luck!

Lyn: Have done a little more research today and STILL cannot find out alternative companies for the tiles I want. They do come in alternative sizes but not in subway if that's what you have in mind. Have you found anything? I actually wrote to Azuvi. We will see if I get a reply. How about you?

I have called three companies here (NJ). Two said they don't carry the brand and can't get it. One said it sounded familiar and were going to look into it so I am waiting to hear from them. I tried to email Azuvi but computer was uncooperative. I am going to try again. Do you remember what the larger size mosiac was - 2x2, 4x4, 6x6? Not looking for subway. Also can I ask what the price was for the 1x1? Thanks for keeping in touch.

I think there is a little confusion between our communication. The mosaic sample I have (the one posted) only comes in a 12 x 12 sheet with the 1 x 1 tiles. I did not see any "mosaics" in anything other size other than 1 x 1's. I did see coordinating plain tiles in other sizes.

The cost of one 12 x 12 sheet of the 1 x 1 mosaics is $34.76.

I found a huge list last night of tile stores in our surrounding area. Will post any additional info I find as I receive it.
