Square Mosaic Stone Panel

Rectangles of different widths, standing at different heights. The most irregular of the mosaic group and the one that looks most like a wall built from offcuts, which is what it copies.

Technical data sheet, MB-TMSQ (PDF, 0.6 MB)·Colour card, 106 surfaces in four series (PDF, 10.4 MB)

Pieces between 80 and 300 mm wide and 60 high, staggered in courses so no vertical joint lines up for more than two courses. Each face is split, so the surface steps in and out by 2 to 4 mm across the wall.

Five millimetres and 6 kg on 1180 × 2950. It is the lightest sheet in the range and the easiest to hang: one person, adhesive, no frame. The staggered widths mean the sheet joint is invisible if it lands between two pieces, which is most of the time. Ordered as a stone mosaic tile for shower walls and splashbacks, at five millimetres it takes a cut edge without a trim.

Built from offcuts

The pattern is what a mason does with the ends of a delivery: whatever widths are left, stacked in courses. That is why the pieces vary and why the courses are not level with each other. A regular grid would be a tile; this is a wall.

Good for

  • Bathroom walls and splashbacks
  • Fireplace surrounds
  • Bar fronts and reception desks
  • Anywhere a stacked stone look is wanted in a thin sheet

Not for

  • Floors
  • Shower interiors in direct spray
  • Walls that need a precise, gridded finish

Grey, cream, charcoal

Three: the light grey in the shot, a cream and a charcoal. On a split face the colour is second to the shadow, so all three read well; the charcoal is the one that looks most like real stacked stone.

Fitting it

Four steps, and the third one is the one that goes wrong.

01 SurfaceFlat to 3 mm over 2 m, dry, dust free. Prime porous substrates.
02 AdhesivePolymer adhesive, notched trowel, full bed. Not dots.
03 Set outWork from a datum line, not the floor. Dry-lay one row first.
04 JointButt tight, or a 2 mm shadow gap. Roll the face after fitting.

Questions we get asked

Is it laid like tile?

No. It is a sheet, and the moulded gaps are the joints. The only site joint is at the sheet edge.

How irregular are the pieces?

From 80 to 300 mm wide, all 60 high, staggered. No vertical joint runs more than two courses.

Can it go behind a wood burner?

Yes, on a non-combustible substrate, with the stove clearances respected.

Why is it the lightest?

5 mm, 6 kg/m². It is the easiest sheet in the range to install on your own.
