At MEC, we create stunning custom mosaic tile art that reflects your unique style and vision. We understand that the cost of a custom mosaic project can be a concern, so we’ve created this cost guide to help you understand the factors that contribute to pricing.

Factors that Matter in Custom Mosaic Pricing

  • Material: The type of material used for the mosaic significantly impacts the cost. Glass, ceramic, and stone are common materials, with each having varying price points.
  • Cutting Process: The cutting method used to shape the mosaic tiles also affects the cost. Water jet cutting is a precise and efficient method, but it can be more expensive than hand cutting
 
  • Color Selection: We offer an extensive range of colors for our mosaic tiles, and the choice of colors can influence the pricing. Specialty colors or custom blends may incur additional costs.
  • Size and Scale: The size and scale of the mosaic project are major determinants of cost. Larger and more intricate mosaics will naturally require more resources and time, leading to higher costs.

Material

Glass mosaics are generally more affordable than marble mosaics. This is because glass is more readily available and easier to work with. Marble mosaics offer a wider range of textures and finishes, but their higher cost reflects the more specialized materials and techniques involved.

Cutting

Water jet cutting is a precise and efficient method for shaping mosaic tiles, allowing for intricate designs and complex patterns. However, the specialized equipment and expertise required for water jet cutting make it more expensive than hand cutting. Hand cutting is a traditional method that produces unique, handmade tiles, but it is a more time-consuming process, which is reflected in the cost.
