Small, naturally shaped stones adhered to a mesh backing form a distinct type of surfacing material commonly used in interior and exterior design. This material offers a textured, organic aesthetic, finding applications in showers, backsplashes, flooring, and outdoor landscaping. It is available for purchase at major home improvement retailers.
The utilization of these mosaics provides several advantages, including enhanced slip resistance in wet areas, visual appeal through natural variations in color and texture, and relative ease of installation compared to individual stone placement. Historically, similar materials have been employed in various cultures for decorative and functional purposes, reflecting a timeless appreciation for natural elements in the built environment.
