New Tile Series: Ragno Crystal Stone


Roll out the red carpet, Crystal Stone has arrived!

Mosaic 5/8” tumbled stone are mixed with tumbled glass and extraordinary undulated glass creating a rich surface for any room in your home. Available in nine colors from subtle earthy tones to cool contemporary shades, there is a Crystal Stone that will make your project stand above the rest.




Crystal Stone is sold by the sheet, there are 18 rows of tile on a 12” sheet. Cut up the sheet to create small inserts or borders. The unique design of the mosaic allows plenty of room to be creative.


Installation: Use a white thinset with a high latex content. It's sticky stuff, but will do the job well. The glass has a painted back so you won't be able to see trowel lines behind the tile.


Cutting: Because of the small size of the tiles, cutting the mesh backing with a scissors or knife will be effective for most installation jobs. However, if you do need to cut through the tile, sandwich the mosaic sheet between two pieces of wood or backerboard and use a wetsaw with a new blade designed for glass.
