Mosaic Village

Mosaic Village, a UK specialist in mosaic tiles

Mosaic Village is an online retailer focused on mosaic tiling, presenting itself as the UK's leading mosaic tile specialist. Its catalogue is organised around the different ways a buyer might approach a project: by colour, by material, by shape and by the room or setting where the tiles will be used. The range covers ceramic, glass, marble, metal, natural stone and recycled glass mosaics, with additional categories for border tiles and wet room tiles.

Colour, material and shape as the main filters

The colour selection spans black, blue, brown, cream, green, grey, mixed, orange, pink, purple, red, sparkle, white and yellow mosaics. By material, the shop lists ceramic, glass, marble, metal, natural stone and recycled glass options. Shapes include brick, hexagon, kit-kat, rectangular, square and linear formats, alongside the more specific border and wet room categories.

Ranges for bathrooms, kitchens and swimming pools

Beyond the general catalogue, the site groups products into dedicated sections for bathrooms, kitchens and swimming pools. Each of these sections repeats the colour, material and shape filters, so bathroom mosaics can be narrowed to, for example, ceramic, glass, marble, natural stone or recycled glass, and to brickbond, hexagon, kit-kat, rectangular or square shapes. The swimming pool range is limited to glass mosaics in brickbond, square and modular shapes, with colours covering black, blue, green, grey and white.

The kitchen section adds a linear shape option and includes recycled glass among its materials. The bathroom section does not list metal or linear formats. A separate self-adhesive mosaic tile category is also offered.

Tile accessories and trims

Alongside the tiles, Mosaic Village sells tile accessories: mosaic tile backer, decoupling membrane, tile trims, tile cleaning products and tile cutters. Within trims, the shop highlights square edge, round edge and box profiles, describing the square edge as the UK's most popular profile, the round edge as a traditional softer profile and the box trim as a contemporary modern profile.

Sample service and delivery terms

The retailer runs a sample service intended to let customers see the material before committing to a full order. Customers can choose up to five samples, which are sent with free postage by first class Royal Mail, and the money spent on samples can be claimed back. The site also advertises free next day delivery on orders over £150.

Seasonal notices on the site stated that orders placed between the 1st and 7th would not be delivered until the 8th of April, and that the final dispatch before Christmas would be on Monday the 22nd, with orders received after that date dispatched from the 5th of January.
