Plan A Custom Tile Mural

Planning a tile mural, backsplash, shower wall picture tile, or similar project takes a combination of imagination and simple mathematics. There a few easy steps:

1. Select your image for custom tiles

Send us a photograph or the artwork, (we scan and return the original unchanged).
-OR-
Send us your digital file (high resolution) or download from an online photo/fine art provider (e.g., pro.corbis.com, gettimages.com, arc-store.com, www.photos.com/en/search.) Instructions for Sending Images.
-OR-
Select fine art from our Tile Mural Art Gallery.

2. Determine the size

... of the tiles and tile mural for the project (contact us for help). Measure the width and height of the area available. You may fill an area completely with custom mural tiles or select a custom mural size and surround it with standard field tile. Note this kitchen backsplash installation where the custom mural was planned to be surrounded by the customer's choice of field tile. Additional tips below*. We cannot warranty tiles which are cut - you should center the mural and surround with field tile or a border tile.

3. Use the Tile Mural Order cost chart

... as a guide for your tile selection and cost estimate. We will confirm the information personally and begin producing the custom tiles. Secure credit card ordering and tracking is available through our PayPal account. You are not required to use PayPal or be a PayPal member to use your credit card.

Typical turn around time is 2 weeks from receipt of order and image. For time-critical inquiries and any type of assistance in your planning, call 434-660-7170 glass tile mural, shower tile, picture tile

*Additional tips on planning:
Production of unique tile murals based on the customer's image selection is our specialty.

All images must 'bleed' over the edges of the tile mural during printing, resulting in a loss of 1/8 to 1/4 inch of the image on each side. We enlarge or reduce the size of the image you provide to conform to the dimensions of the mural size you select.

After determining the approximate size of your mural, select a tile size (4.25, 6, or 8 inches) which evenly divides into that size. This will avoid cutting the tiles to fit the mural area. The mural can be set in field tile or framed with rope twist as seen in these examples (in field tile, framed with rope twist). Also see: Tile Sizes: Exact Dimensions if concerned with matching field tile.

If the mural size you select does not have the same width/height ratio as the image you select, we must crop the image to match. For example, if you want a mural twice as tall as it is wide but the image you select is square, some of the image's width will be cropped out. Here is an example: Crop Image to Fit
