History
The history of mosaic can be traced to 2000 BC in ancient China. And glass mosaic becomes popular in architecture during the Renaissance (Renaissance). Glass mosaic have been very popular in Asia during the 1980s and declining in 1990. However, in the earlier 21st century, with the development of new technologies, glass mosaic becomes strong in Asia and increasingly popular in North America since 2004.
Merits of the characteristics of glass mosaic
The new manufacturing technology seems that nothing is impossible in terms of colors, sizes, styles, as well as materials used in glass mosaic. So the variety is a characteristic This distinctive building materials. Also, glass mosaics have wide range of applications due to their waterproof nature. Glass does not absorb water (a term technical materials such as "zero water absorption rate) as it has no contraction or expansion problem therefore can be used both indoors or outdoors. A lot of materials have because of the materials can absorb water inside so you have the expansion or contraction problem when temperature changes when the water absorption rate exceeds a certain degree, can not be used as outdoor material, such as ceramics, the ANSI defined the water absorption rate is less than 0.5%, which can be used as building materials outdoors.
Large variety of applications
Glass Mosaics can be used for a variety of installations of buildings, both indoor and outdoor free land for residential use (if the surface is polished, not recommended for the implementation of slippery floors), walls, pillars and columns, artwork, furniture, bathrooms, kitchens and swimming pools. Your imagination is the limit for the application for a building, so it attracts the attention of architects and interior designers, but also DIYs certainly can use the glass mosaic to shine your remodeling project. Proper use of glass mosaic may refresh your eyes every day after installation of glass mosaic tiles.
With today manufacturing technology, glass tile can be customized based on its design, if you are talking with real manufacturers with updated technology and experience. The response time to make a custom sample can be surprisingly as short as 5 business days. Yes 5 working days to make a sample based on size, color code or an actual sample to obtain from another place is a realist who is not can not even imagine 5 years ago.
The materials used to make glass mosaics
Originally, type is vitreous glass mosaic glass mosaic, which was widely used for swimming. But with the rapid technology and manpower development for the past 5 to 10 years, glass mosaic developed for the major categories, in addition to the original glass and glass mosaic:
1. Glass mosaic glass you can see through what is called "crystal", but with color paintings in the back of the tile for thousands of colors are possible;
2. iridescent glass mosaic, which have iridescent layers on the surface of glass to make mosaic glass mosaic that reflects different colors, it is huge disco material, casino and entertainment places decoration ';
3. Metallic glass mosaic, this is a very special material that color is not in the back of a mosaic, but the color is based on the fusion of glass in an environment of extremely high temperature. When the glass melting furnace and cooling, color is part of the glass inside evenly distributed so the color is throughout the whole mosaic.
4 mosaic. Van Gogh glass, which went through the process Similar to the manufacturing of metallic glass mosaic. The difference is that the metallic glass can say it is obvious that the glass but the glass mosaic of Van Gogh kindly give it the texture of oil paint on its surface.
5. Stone mosaic glass. Stone mosaic is another type of decorative building materials for the history of more than 2000 years. People are creative fusion of glass and natural stone to make stone glass mosaic, which often have high levels of luxury, but also very natural.
Giving the high demand and competition among manufacturers, we believe that innovation will be carried out quickly and new types of glass mosaic could be created from time to time.
