The installation process is easier when working with this pattern. In some cases like the featured image at the top of the page a project will require tight fitting pieces that need to be crafted by the mason on site. However in most cases the irregular shapes of the mosaic pieces allow for an application that can create a natural, rustic looking design with limited work. This Montauk Blend Mosaic fireplace featured above was created by a a homeowner who made up for his lack of experience by choosing to work with this stone pattern.
