Mosaics make a wonderful choice for wall or floor art that can be incorporated with the surrounding architecture and also made waterproof for shower or pool areas. The material can consist of a mixture of vitreous materials like, venetian glass, stained glass, marble, jewels etc. The design and placement is always the leading factor to fabrication. The pieces can be close together or far apart depending on how much background matrix of grout you are wanting to use. The material chosen is mounted on the area elected with usually a waterproof adhesive and then grouted with different colored grouts that are available. Opalescent glass is usually a better choice among glasses as it is not transparent and your colors can be seen deeper. The glass is chipped or cut with a tool to make the shapes you need to fit within the perimeter of your design desired.

ATG offers mosaic designs of traditional and contemporary effects to fit within the scope of work desired. Once again the client has the opportunity to express their need and desire so our designers can put down on paper a proof for them to see before fabrication.

Another style that is becoming popular is glass tiles that take the place of ceramic tile work in kitchens, bathrooms, on walls etc...they also are customized to the needs of the client.

One of the most successful and accepted techniques in the world of stained glass is dalle de verre. Better known as faceted or slab glass which is chipped to fit the design with a special hammer and then set into an epoxy or other material. Its production is similar to normal stained glass resulting in a mosaic-like approach of pure color effects that can be utilized in window openings or entire walls. Dalle de verre can be charaterized by its strong colors, design and effect in contemporary settings. Very durable and stunning these windows can be made in a variety of forms and sizes.
