Why are mosaic tiles so expensive?
The price of mosaic tile may vary depending on a lot of different factors at once, such as the material, finishings or how complicated the patterns are. First of all, mosaic tiles are usually made of more expensive materials, like glass, natural stone or metal, so their cost per square foot is higher than that of a simple ceramic tile. Mosaic murals typically have individual tiles separated into smaller pieces which are then assembled, and create distinct and vibrant patterns or designs. This process though is characterized by higher quality standards, therefore the price.
The other factor to consider in this is the installation process itself. Unlike ceramic tiles that mostly have plain patterns, mosaic tiles with detailed patterns need complex installation, thus that will correspondingly contribute to the high installation cost. Basically, mosaic tiles have a tendency to be expensive options but their distinctive characteristics and long-term reliability will make them a wonderful choice in the long run.
