An amazing mosaic on the walls can be a patterned drawing made of the same or different in shape and the size of solid particles timber mosaic is an unusual finish. It seems that the tree is not sufficiently resistant to moisture, capricious and unstable so that it can be created from it. The thing is that mosaics are most often used in humid rooms, where the tree looks inappropriate. However, the popularity of timber mosaics is increasing every year. The reason is the unique aesthetic characteristics that are due to the pattern of timber fibers and a variety of colors, as well as the durability and strength of the finished coating.
What are timber mosaics made of?
All of the above qualities are based on the right choice of materials. If for decoration you take an ordinary pine, then a durable and beautiful coating will not work. Hard timber species are required here, for example, beech, oak, hornbeam, walnut, wenge. To protect the timber from moisture, impregnations of oil and wax are used. But even with them, the mosaic is not applied where water can get.
In addition to different types of timber, coconut shells are used to make timber mosaics. It is very durable, has a very interesting texture and relief. They are emphasized using tinting and styling methods.
An interesting decorative effect gives bamboo. It is cheaper than other materials, but it creates a beautiful coating. A feature of bamboo tiles is a peculiar pattern of fibers, emphasized by special means. The disadvantage of this material is a loose structure, due to which strength and wear resistance is quite low.
Features of laying timber tiles
Timber mosaics can be used to veneer any surfaces that are previously prepared. They must be leveled and primed. If there are bumps, they will be noticeable under the coating. The primer will provide better and even adhesion.
Mosaic made of timber is not necessary to layout independently in small pieces. It is available in the form of modules in which the timber elements are fixed to the grid. Anhydrous adhesive compositions, for example, parquet adhesive, are used to fix the modules. Timber elements are lightweight, so they hold well on the walls.
Mosaic Timber Tiles can be fixed on the surface of the plywood. In this case, they do not need to be specially prepared. But it is worth remembering the diagonal docking to avoid deformation.
To fill the seams of such a mosaic, two-component epoxy grout is used. Minerals should not be used. A tree changes its size depending on temperature and humidity. The mineral composition is cracking. In addition, it is washed off with a large volume of water, which harms the timber surface.
For areas where water can get to the surface, the teak mosaic is suitable. It comes in the form of modules on a cork substrate. The joints are already filled with silicone sealant. Fix the modules on the glue for the cork, and the seams are sealed with sealant.
