Product story

Warm Shellstone, Cut Through With Green

A brushed hexagon mosaic combining Shellstone limestone with Rustic Green marble on 30.5 x 26.5cm mesh-backed sheets, by Hyperion Tiles.

Shellstone is a sedimentary limestone laid down on an ancient seabed, and it still carries the evidence — pale biscuit and honey tones scattered with the ghosts of shell fragments and small fossil casts. The green pieces set among it are a deeper, mineral stone that reads almost olive in shade and brightens towards moss in daylight. Brushing the surface with abrasive heads wears away the softest material first, leaving a gently undulating, faintly textured face and a softened edge, as though the stone has already been walked on for a generation.

That texture is the practical argument for this one on a floor: brushed limestone gives noticeably more grip underfoot than a polished stone when wet, which makes it a sound choice for a family bathroom or a walk-in shower base. On a wall the two colours do something else entirely — the honeycomb of beige and green reads as a woven surface from across the room and resolves into individual stones up close. It sits well with limewashed walls, oak joinery and aged brass.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

Do these natural stone mosaics need sealing?

Yes. Marble, travertine, limestone and onyx are porous stones, so they should be sealed with a good impregnating stone sealer before grouting and again once the grout has cured. Sealing before grouting is the step most often skipped, and it is the one that stops grout haze staining the face of the stone. In a shower or wet room, expect to re-apply the sealer every couple of years.

How are these mosaics sold?

By the box. Each box contains five mesh-backed sheets, and the coverage per box is listed in the specification for this product. Work out your area in square metres, divide by the coverage per box, and round up — then allow around ten per cent extra for cuts, wastage and a few spare sheets for future repairs.

Can I order a sample before I commit?

Yes. A sample swatch is £2 and is posted to you, which is the sensible way to judge natural stone against your own light, paint and sanitaryware. You are also very welcome to see full sheets in our Ascot showroom, where you can lay them next to the rest of your scheme.

Will the mosaic I receive look exactly like the photograph?

No, and that is the point of natural stone. Veining, tone and the density of markings shift from block to block, so your sheets will be their own thing rather than a copy of the photograph. Order the whole job in one go so it comes from a single batch, then open several boxes at once and shuffle the sheets as you lay, which spreads any variation evenly instead of leaving it in patches.

Can these be used on a bathroom floor or inside a shower?

Yes, provided the stone is properly sealed and the substrate is sound and tanked. Mosaics are particularly good on shower floors because the dense grout joints give grip and the small pieces follow a fall to the waste without needing cuts. Bear in mind that a polished finish is considerably more slippery underfoot when wet than a honed, tumbled or brushed one.

Are these mosaics suitable for underfloor heating?

Yes. Natural stone conducts heat well and is one of the better surfaces to lay over underfloor heating. Use a flexible adhesive and a flexible grout, leave the system off until the adhesive and grout have fully cured, then bring the temperature up gradually over several days rather than all at once.

How do I cut mesh-backed mosaic sheets?

Where a cut falls between pieces, simply part the sheet with a sharp knife through the mesh backing. Where you need to cut through the stone itself, use a wet cutter with a continuous-rim diamond blade and take it slowly — natural stone chips more readily than porcelain. Turn cut edges towards corners and internal angles so the factory edges stay on show.

What grout should I use with a stone mosaic?

A fine, unsanded grout is best for the narrow joints found in mosaic sheets — sanded grouts can scratch a polished or honed surface as you work them in. Seal the stone first, choose a grout tone close to the mid-tone of the stone unless you actively want the pattern outlined, and clean the faces as you go rather than letting haze set.

How should I clean and look after natural stone mosaics?

Use warm water and a pH-neutral stone cleaner. Keep anything acidic well away — limescale removers, vinegar, lemon and most bathroom sprays will etch a dull mark into marble, travertine and limestone within seconds. Avoid bleach and abrasive pads too, and wipe up splashes of wine, oil or toiletries promptly rather than letting them sit.

Can I see this mosaic in person?

Please do. Our family-run showroom is at 67 High Street, Ascot, and stone is one of those materials that really does need to be seen rather than scrolled past. Bring your paint colours and a photograph of the room and our team will help you work through it. Call 01344 620211 if you would like to check we have a particular mosaic out on display.

Installation & Care Tips

Installation & care

  • Sealing & Adhesive: Seal with an impregnating stone sealer before grouting and again once the grout has cured. Limestone is more porous than marble, so do not skip the first coat — unsealed shellstone will draw pigment straight out of a grey grout. Fix with a flexible white rapid-set adhesive.
  • Layout: Dry-lay four or five sheets side by side and rotate them until the green hexagons are spread rather than lining up in rows. Work outwards from a datum line so the honeycomb stays true, and press the brushed faces level with a grout float rather than a hammer block.
  • Cleaning: Warm water and a pH-neutral stone cleaner only. Acidic limescale removers, vinegar and bleach will etch a permanent dull mark into the brushed limestone surface.
