This manufacturer and distributor of mosaic tile products takes the art of mosaic and tile décor to a whole new level—&#8221;trendy&#8221; to say the least. The company was founded in 2000 and since then has grown exponentially. They now have over 700 employees and operate in more than 50 countries, including India, the United States, Australia, and Italy, to name a few. Whether for flooring, table coverings, backsplashes, or pool areas, Trend&#8217;s commitment to quality and individuality makes their products the perfect choice for your new project.</p>
<p>The number of raw materials <a href="http://www.catalfamogallery.com/tile-stone/trend-usa">Trend</a> puts to use in beautiful and unique ways is truly inspiring. You can select from tiles in 24K gold, Venetian enamel, recycled glass, and natural stone. They also have amazing engineered materials that are a combination of quartz, granite, and fragmented glass. And it&#8217;s not just the use of these materials that makes Trend what they are, it&#8217;s the innovative and artistic way they combine and layer these products.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.catalfamogallery.com/tile-stone/trend-usa"><img class="alignright" style="border: 0pt none;" title="Trend Mosaics" src="http://www.catalfamogallery.com/media/catalfamo/articles/Trend-02.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="174" align="right" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>One interesting line they carry is Trend Q, an engineered agglomerate made up of stone, recycled glass, or quartz grit that is mixed with a resin and after a series of processing steps is baked to form a solid, hard product that can come in dozens of different colors and patterns. This product is excellent for flooring or for covering existing surfaces like counter tops or tables. It&#8217;s incredibly durable and resistant to stains and scratches.</p>
<p>Trend&#8217;s online galleries of mosaic and slab wall coverings, flooring, and surface coverings give you just a hint of the dynamic possibilities you could realize for your space. They have collections reminiscent of classical Greek stonework, ultra modern designs right for any office or home that needs a sleek, trendy look, as well as vibrant colors in traditional mosaic tiling.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.catalfamogallery.com/series.asp?cat=182&amp;m=332"><img class="alignleft" title="Villi Glas" src="http://www.catalfamogallery.com/media/catalfamo/articles/Villi_Glas-01.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="213" /></a>Glass tiles can bring a dimension of light and depth to a wall or floor like nothing else can. Your brain doesn&#8217;t necessarily jump to glass when you&#8217;re brainstorming about flooring, but glass tiling can bring a whimsical or luxurious feel to your floor when used to complement other types of tile flooring. It can even be used in some spaces as the complete floor. And of course, glass tile is perfect for outdoor use around pools and spas as well as for kitchen backsplashes and bathroom walls.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.catalfamogallery.com/series.asp?cat=182&amp;m=332">Villi Glas</a>, a premier manufacturer of glass tiles and mosaics, sets the bar for quality glass tile flooring products. Not only are Villi&#8217;s glass selections beautiful, but they are also durable and reliable.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.catalfamogallery.com/series.asp?cat=182&amp;m=332"><img class="alignright" style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; border-width: 0px;" src="http://www.catalfamogallery.com/media/catalfamo/articles/Villi_Glas-02.jpg" alt="Villi Glas" width="200" height="213" align="right" border="0" /></a>A metallic coating is fused to Villi&#8217;s glass, which protects the tiles from corrosion, scratches, and color bleed and is one of the reasons <a href="http://www.catalfamogallery.com/series.asp?cat=182&amp;m=332">Villi Glas tiles</a> can be used indoor or outdoor and for flooring. The reverse side of the tiles are also given a coating, a white layer that gives the back of the glass tiles a rough surface that makes them adhere better to the surface they are attached to, as well as keeps a clean, precise look when you look through the glass. The tiles are also available with a choice of surfaces, from glossy to mat to fossilized, as well as a skid resistant.</p>
<p>What really makes Villi&#8217;s glass stand out is their innovation in style and beauty. They have standard tiles in several different sizes, but they also have created mosaic style tiles on mesh backing that are incomparable, some of which are reminiscent of river stone in glass form…gorgeous.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.catalfamogallery.com/series.asp?cat=182&amp;m=332"><img class="alignleft" style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; border-width: 0px;" src="http://www.catalfamogallery.com/media/catalfamo/articles/Villi_Glas-03.jpg" alt="Glass tile from Villi Glas" width="200" height="223" align="left" border="0" /></a>From muted, pastel hues to vibrant colors and metallics, the colors you can choose from are incredible. They also have some stunning glass tiles called Décor that have designs fused to the top of the glass—filigree, relief, and geometric designs. They even have a Spectral glass line that has a patented coating that oxidizes surface dirt, causing it to disappear. It&#8217;s actually self-cleaning!</p>
<p>So if glass tile is something you are considering for your next project, be sure to consider <a href="http://www.catalfamogallery.com/series.asp?cat=182&amp;m=332">Villi Glas</a>. You won&#8217;t be disappointed.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.catalfamogallery.com/series.asp?cat=182&amp;m=576"><img class="alignright" title="Ellen Blakely Glass Mosaic Tiles" src="http://www.catalfamogallery.com/media/catalfamo/articles/Ellen_Blakeley.jpg" alt="" width="175" height="517" /></a>You&#8217;ve never seen anything quite like <a href="http://www.catalfamogallery.com/series.asp?cat=182&amp;m=576">Ellen Blakeley glass tile</a>. If you have a project—a shower, a backsplash, a wall, a countertop (the list goes on and on)—and you want a truly unique, dazzling look, then you must check out Ellen Blakeley. She has created the perfect blend of individuality, versatility, and striking beauty, along with environmental responsibility in her products and artwork.</p>
<p>The story goes that Ellen was cleaning up some vandalism in her neighborhood one day, which happened to be some shattered glass that had been shot out of a bus shelter. Inspiration hit, and she began to experiment with tempered glass. Its transparency made it the perfect medium for unending variations of colors and designs in the mosaic style.</p>
<p>But <a href="http://www.catalfamogallery.com/series.asp?cat=182&amp;m=576">Ellen Blakeley</a> has taken mosaic to the next level. With a combination of pigments and grouting, as well as the use of ordinary objects, such as lace and leaves and paper, fused with epoxy resin, she has created a unique and vibrant line of glass tile that can be used in a million different applications. It isn&#8217;t just tile, it&#8217;s art.</p>
<p>And responsible art, at that. The primary resource for Ellen Blakeley&#8217;s glass products is recycled tempered glass obtained from commercial glass companies&#8217; waste materials. Someone else&#8217;s trash and all. This recycled glass is deliberately broken into fragments and used, along with different paints and grout, to create glass tiling (among other things). Ellen uses low-VOC paints and water-based grout in her made-to-order products, which is good for the environment as well as for keeping indoor emissions low.</p>
<p>One of the collections <a href="http://www.catalfamogallery.com/series.asp?cat=182&amp;m=576">Ellen Blakeley</a> offers is Winter Whites, a line of tile whose glass has had all the green pigment removed, resulting in spectacularly bright white mosaics. Add a touch of gold accent, and the effect is amazing. Also available is the Elements collection, which as its name implies is inspired by the elements of the earth—air, water, fire, and earth, with metal and &#8220;after dark&#8221; added to the mix. These are just two of the collections. Take a look at Ellen&#8217;s work, and see for yourself…and maybe add a touch of dazzle to your next project.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.catalfamogallery.com/series.asp?cat=182&amp;m=559"><img class="alignright" title="Pacilantic Tile" src="http://www.catalfamogallery.com/media/catalfamo/articles/Pacilantic.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="224" />Pacilantic </a>brings you the standard in ceramic, porcelain, metal, and glass tile with an artistic flair rarely seen with other tile companies. The vibrancy of their designs are inspiring—you have to see it for yourself to appreciate it. You&#8217;ll be hard pressed to find any more beautiful tile than Pacilantic hand-crafted tile.</p>
<p>Installation can be done by a do-it-yourselfer, but you should definitely at least consult a professional for tips and warnings about installing these types of products. Also be sure and read the installation documentation thoroughly for your product before jumping in. The tiles should be installed with regular white thinset mortar, applied with a notched trowel. The tile sheets or tiles themselves should then be placed according to the design pattern and after a curing period can be grouted. Glass tiles can also be installed outdoors because they are non-porous and handle expansion and contracting that occurs when temperatures rise and fall.</p>
<p>We cannot stress enough how unique and beautiful these Pacilantic products are. Their ceramic tiles are hand painted and then layered with a unique glaze that gives the ceramic a glass-like appearance. The painted tiles can either be individual, or some are actually part of a mural that can be installed in coordination with other tiles to give you a unique look and feel.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.catalfamogallery.com/series.asp?cat=182&amp;m=559">Pacilantic</a> glass tile products are also a vision. Their stunning pebble glass series has an almost otherworldly feel. The mosaics they offer come in a wide range of themes including the tropics, fruits and vegetables, and flowers and animals. Because the work is hand-produced, some variations of color and tone can occur. So if it&#8217;s not exactly as you see on the website, it&#8217;s ok, it&#8217;s actually more than ok — you&#8217;ll know you have a look that no one else will have. You can also find beautiful metal tiles in black, copper, or silver tones that can add splashes of light and a clean feel. Pacilantic also provides your &#8220;normal&#8221; slate and stone tiles as well as a combination of glass and stone that bring the rugged, sturdy look that is so popular today.</p>
