FAQ


Design phase

Yes. Friul Mosaic creates fully customized mosaics based on the client’s design guidelines or supplied drawings.
The technical and creative team supports the project at every stage, defining materials, technical solutions, and aesthetic outcomes to ensure alignment with the design and installation context.

Production time varies depending on project size, design complexity, and selected materials.
Each project is evaluated case by case, and timelines are defined during the project development phase.

Yes. Before production begins, an approval sample is generally created, allowing materials, colors, finishes and the aesthetic result of the mosaic to be verified. This step enables both the client and the project team to assess the final outcome and confirm all the characteristics of the work before proceeding with full production.

DISCOVER OUR DEDICATED SERVICE

Yes, a dedicated design service is offered, which may be requested as a specific activity and is provided on a paid basis. Design support may be activated either within a project that includes the production of a mosaic or as an independent service, in order to develop technical and aesthetic solutions related to the use of mosaic within an architectural or interior design project.

It is advisable to involve Friul Mosaic from the early stages of the project.
Mosaic is both a decorative and technical element and may influence factors such as weight, thickness, materials, finishes, and installation methods.
Early involvement allows the team to define appropriate solutions and provide guidance for correct surface preparation and installation.

Yes. If the installation is not carried out directly by Friul Mosaic, the mosaic is supplied with specific laying plans and detailed technical instructions for installation. This documentation enables the appointed installers to correctly follow the assembly scheme and the technical indications envisaged by the project, ensuring precise installation consistent with the characteristics of the mosaic produced.

Transport of the mosaic is organized by Friul Mosaic’s logistics department, which takes care of all the necessary stages to guarantee safe delivery of the material. According to the characteristics of the project and the site requirements, the mosaic is packed using suitable protective systems and transport is planned by the company through to the final destination. This process ensures that the material arrives on site in optimal condition for the subsequent installation stage.

Installation and surfaces

Mosaic can be installed on various surfaces, provided the substrate meets the required technical conditions and is properly prepared.
Installation methods vary depending on the surface and application context. Consultation with the technical team is recommended.

Yes, mosaic is particularly suitable for wet environments such as swimming pools, spas and wellness areas, thanks to its versatility and the technical characteristics of the materials used. Mosaics made from glass-based materials, for example, do not present any particular technical contraindications in contexts involving contact with water or humidity. In the case of marble and natural stone, however, it is important to select the most suitable types, since some may present critical issues related to resistance to chemical agents, absorption levels or conditions of use. For this reason, Friul Mosaic’s technical team supports the client in choosing the most appropriate materials, carefully evaluating the specific requirements of the project and the environment in which the mosaic will be installed.

Yes, the mosaic can be pre-mounted on panels made from different materials, a solution that can facilitate transport, on-site handling and installation operations. Among the most commonly used supports are lightweight aluminum honeycomb panels of various thicknesses, MDF and other specific technical backings. The choice of the most suitable system depends on the characteristics of the project, the destination surface and the installation requirements. To identify the most appropriate solution, it is advisable to consult with Friul Mosaic’s technical team, which can provide specific guidance according to the project’s needs.

Yes. Mosaic is well suited for curved or irregular surfaces.
Its modular structure allows it to adapt to complex geometries while maintaining visual continuity and precision.

Yes, mosaic can also be used in outdoor environments. However, it is important to select materials and technical solutions that are suitable for the conditions of use, such as exposure to weather, temperature changes and humidity. Friul Mosaic’s technical team supports the client in choosing the most suitable materials and the most appropriate technical characteristics, in order to guarantee durability, resistance and aesthetic quality over time, even in outdoor contexts.

Yes, it is possible to intervene on existing mosaics for restoration, integration or the reinstatement of damaged parts. Each intervention is assessed case by case, taking into account the state of conservation of the mosaic, the original materials and the objectives of the project. This makes it possible to identify the most appropriate solution in order to guarantee a technically and aesthetically coherent result.

Materials and maintenance

A range of materials can be used depending on aesthetic, technical, and application requirements. These include:
• Marble
• Natural stone
• Venetian smalti (including gold-leaf smalti)
• Industrial glass
Material selection is defined case by case, considering performance, durability, and design intent.
