Mosaic tiles are made by gluing small pebbles together on a mesh base, providing a smooth surface demarcated into sectors via grout lines. The large number of grout lines on a mosaic tile provide good traction even when the tile is wet, thus reducing the chance that a person might lose his/her footing while walking on the wet tiles. So mosaic tiles are a safe flooring option for those where old people or kids are the occupants. These tiles can be used in the kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom or even on staircases, making them quite versatile.

The pebbles used in putting together mosaic tiles are of various shapes, sizes, and colors. These pebbles are usually collected from sea beaches, where they get rounded through natural abrasion from saline water and sand. Mosaic tiles made of these pebbles are multi-colored, and very smooth on the top surface. The tiles become perfect for a wide variety of set ups due to the wide range of colors present in them. The variously colored tiles complement the furniture, lighting, and above all, the shade of the walls.

It is pretty easy to install mosaic tiles. Even a layman can follow the user guide and install without much problem. The tiles are cut in such a way that they can be alongside each other, and not much grouting space is there. The tiles have to be just put in place, and the intervening space has to be filled with grouting material.

Mosaic tiles are easy to install and also economical. But these tiles do attract a lot of dust, dirt, grime, grease, and food particles due to the large number of grout lines present in them. Thus they can act as a storehouse of bacteria of various kinds. These lines must be cleaned in order to keep them free of bacteria and other contaminants. If kept clean, mosaic tiles can last very long.

Compared to other flooring options, mosaic tiles are quite economical. The tiles are cheap to buy, thus making them the perfect choice for people looking for best value for money.
