All our mosaics are made as a Non frost proof tile. The manufactures largest customer base is in the North East area of the US and they have never had issues with this. The manufacturer would have no problem with independent lab certification of our tile as a frost proof tile but at this the cost is out of reach, so we tell you this. This certification is coming in the future. Please have your mosaics installed by a professional below your local frost line.
Every effort is taken with each mosaic that Degroot Studios makes to look identical to the picture represented on the website. This truly is a handmade product as it has been for over 60 years. Hand cut clay to make tile, hand processed bisque preparation, color applied by hand with artist brushes and each piece adhered to mesh by hand. Sizes are close approximates and due to the nature of it being a truly handmade product certain subtle variations may occur. There are other variables including adjustment of device.
Additional pictures and product information are available upon request. Email us and ask for the information package for any of our mosaic designs and we will get back to you as quickly as possible. During business hours typically less than an hour.
