Installation

An artwork arrives as modules, numbered on the back, with a placement guide for the wall.

Each module is 31.2 cm × 31.2 cm and carries its own 1 cm × 1 cm tesserae. A piece is assembled from as many as its size needs. From there you have two routes: bond it permanently, like any natural stone surface, or hang it on the optional magnetic system, which takes the same modules off the wall again without damage.

It goes up in pieces

A large artwork is not one slab. It is a grid of 31.2 cm modules, each one a section of the picture, and the joints between them run through the work rather than around it.

That is why every project ships with a placement guide, and why each module carries its placement information on its backing. An installer does not have to work out the order from the picture — the picture is the hard way to do it.

Fixed, like any stone surface

Bonded, the work is an architectural surface rather than a hung object. It can go on walls and floors, in homes, commercial interiors, hospitality spaces, offices, public interiors and feature areas.

Grout is chosen for the application: epoxy where the surface has to take water or cleaning, conventional grey where it does not.

Optional

Or hang it, and take it down again

Modules are mesh-backed as standard. For this option, magnets are attached to the back of the mesh and a 2 mm galvanised steel sheet is fitted to the wall. Each module then places individually onto the steel: no permanent bonding, joints aligned by hand, and removal is simply pulling the module away from the sheet.

It is built for work that has to move — trade fairs, exhibitions, showrooms, shopping malls, offices, temporary displays, and homes where a piece may be relocated. The same artwork can be taken down and reused elsewhere.

This is an option, not a replacement. Most work is still bonded permanently, and the two are specified per project.
