Questions and Answers for Solistone Modern Opera 12 in. x 12 in. x 9.5 mm Marble Natural Stone Mesh-Mounted Mosaic Wall Tile (10 sq. ft. / case)

A:  A sealer suitable for natural stone can be used to seal this product. Miracle Sealants, also available on HomeDepot.com, offers an impregnating sealer and an enhancer sealer that are both great options.

A:  Thank you for your inquiry, Mark. The feature image for this product represents one full 12" x 12" mosaic sheet. The individual pieces of the mosaic are approximately 3/8" x 3/4".

A:  That's 1 sheet/tile 12x12" in the picture. Each stone is tiny, approximately half inch tall and 1" wide maybe even smaller. If you count them you might be able to get a more accurate dimension. I used a handheld tile cutter to break them in half.

A:  There are multiple methods for installing this product around a corner. You can extend the sheet on the facing side beyond the edge and interlock the teeth from the opposing edge of the material so that they fit together at a 90-degree angle. The other option would be again, to extend the sheets from the facing side over the edge and trim the excess stones from the sheets. Some manipulation of the sheets or the individual mosaic pieces may be necessary in order to achieve your desired result. Both methods are labor intensive and should only be attempted by an experienced installation professional. Best of luck on your project!

A:  Hi SHamm! Chris with The Home Depot is correct. Existing tile is not a suitable substrate for this material. You can review and download a .pdf of our Installation Guide in the Info & Guides section on the product page for more information on proper installation methods. Best of luck on your project!

A:  Hello SHamm, The tile would be best applied to the actual wall versus on top of the existing tile. When applying one tile on top of another the combined weight can lead to sag over time. I hope this helps. Cheers, Chris

A:  Thank you for your inquiry, Chris. The silhouette and detail image on the product page are closely representative of the variation in our current lot. The installation image shown is reflective of the product in an environment with low interior lighting, which gives the stone a darker appearance.

A:  Please send request to orderdesk@solistone.com

A:  No, the surface is too uneven to apply the tile without the hardibacker . Mike

A:  No, this is not recommended for a fireplace surround, only for the fireplace facade.
