Dimensions: There are no absolute minimum or maximum dimensions for custom murals. Remember that smaller murals will require a finer cut to achieve the same detail as a larger mural with a rough cut.

Design drawings: After receiving design specifications, a drawing of your custom mural design will be emailed for your final approval.

Mounting: Custom murals are available mesh-back mounted or paper-face mounted. (Mesh-backed mounted murals are also mounted with clear film on the face of the tile for extra protection during shipping and installation.) We recommend paper-face mounting for floor and pool applications to ensure the strongest bond between the backside of the tile and the setting material. Note: Paper-face mounted murals MUST be installed paper side UP.

Packing: Cut murals up to 6.5’ x 13’ are shipped as a single unit and rolled up, like a carpet. Murals larger than this are cut into smaller sections at the factory and then rejoined at time of installation. Each section is labeled and a positioning guideline is included. Uncut murals are prepared on standard 1.15 sq. ft. sheets and packaged in standard cartons and labeled with instructions for proper positioning.

Installation: Murals can be installed directly onto a wall substrate...or can first be installed on a horizontally positioned backer board (or other approved substrate), which is then lifted and attached to the vertical wall surface. To achieve desired results, it is highly recommended that skilled tile tradesmen be used for all mural installations.

Suitable applications: Suitable for any interior or exterior application where ceramic, glass, or porcelain tile may be used. Fine-cut murals are most suited for wall applications. We do not recommend cut glass murals for high traffic floors or barefoot areas.

Pricing: Each custom mural is individually quoted based on the material, dimensions, fineness of cut, and complexity. The range starts at $36 sq./ft. to $200 +/-, the higher price point is for fine cut with some real gold mosaics used.

Lead time: Upon receiving your final design approval and 50% non-refundable deposit, lead time varies based on size and method to create your mural. We offer a few options for shipping murals, from ocean freight to air freight.

Balance due: The remaining balance of your custom mural order, including shipping, will be due when the order is ready to ship. If paying by check, we must receive the check prior to shipping.
