Harmony Wood Mosaic Tiles

3-20-wood-tile-1.jpgSometimes, a modern space could use a dose of warmth and texture. In addition to larger Mesquite Wood Tiles from Ann Sacks, smaller, 3/4" x 3/4" wood mosaic tiles are available for walls and floors where moisture isn't an issue. Because wood will warp and buckle with moisture, these tiles are best when used for design accents. And they come in a wide range of woods with varying colors and textures...

Available from Anchor Bay Tile for $27 a square foot, the tiles are mesh-mounted for easier installation. These would make an excellent back splash in a kitchen. If one was worried about moisture, they would look great behind glass, too. For a more dramatic effect, they could be used on an accent wall or encasing an entire small room, like an entry.

For an even more dramatic look, don't miss the Herringbone wood tiles!

Would you use grout with that?

I wonder if the cross cut tiles are thick enough for flooring?

I don't know about those tiles, but these say they can be used for flooring:

would anyone consider taking a 4x4 and cutting it into slices, then laying those as flooring? is that just a crazy diy idea?

I used to work for a woman who had end-grain mesquite in her kitchen and it was gorgeous. We were careful of water but not religious about it. I don't think I would put it in a bathroom, at least not the one I have now.

I really like how these tiles look, but I am having a pretty hard time understandig this (american measures and all). How much tiles are located on a foot of mesh mounted material? Because they way I calculate it these are really, really expensive.

Could someone help me with this? Thanks in advance.

About 14 tiles x 14 tiles. A few more than what you see in the images. The gap between each tile is about 1/8th inch.

$27.00 will buy about 196 small tiles, which would cover 30.48 cm x 30.48 cm.

You can look around for similar sized tiles, like these glass ones are about half the price:
http://www.cooltiles.com/dtt219g.html

This large page shows the actual complete sheet of tile that is 12" x 12" with a 14x14 arrangement of 3/4" tiles:
http://mosaic-tiles.cooltiles.com/cgi-bin/cooltiles.pl?cat=Glass-Tiles&size=3%2F4%22 x 3%2F4%22&page=2

Does that help?

12" = 30.48 centimeter = $27.00 US for the wood tiles, each.
3/4" = 1.905 centimeter = size of each little tile.

You're paying $27.00 US for 196 little tiles.

I'm sorry, but the link I posted to see the full sheet didn't work.

Here is their main page:
http://www.cooltiles.com/index.html

Click on Glass Tiles.
Then you can sort by size of tiles, and I chose 3/4"

Then you have to click around a bit, and scroll to the bottom to find out where they show the full sheet of 3/4" tiles.

Some sheets are a bit bigger than 12"x12", which is why there is a difference in the cost of the sheet and the cost per square foot. The sheet costs more, because the sheet is larger than a square foot.

And as it turns out, the example I used shows a larger than square foot sheet.

Whatever size the tiles are, it will tell you the cost per square foot. That is what you need to know to calculate the cost of putting them up (for just the tile).
