The sparkle of a pebble glass mosaic or other tile creation, metal tiles, is well worth the time and effort you put into it. Nothing shines year after year like the bright "pebbles" you find at Pacilantic.com. And, for a swimmingly fine pool, cozy bath or old country kitchen, put together a contrasting stone glass combination pattern that lets those colors really pop.

What has hundreds, even thousands, of pieces that fit together splendidly, is easy to repair and adds value to your property? The easy answer is tile. But there is so much more to tile than one-color squares. The tiny, rock-like stones that make up a pebble glass mosaic can be arranged in an infinite number of amazing ways: abstract patterns, portraits, jaw-dropping landscape scenes and just about any other concept imaginable. Even thousands of pieces put down in one color can be more beautiful than it is possible to describe in words.

Many a tiling project has been doomed from the start by impatience. Whether working with ceramics, porcelain or a stone-glass combination, you'll get more life out of your project by steering clear of a few easily avoided errors.

First, don't skimp on tiles. A good rule of thumb is to buy 15 to 20 percent more than you think you'll need. Don't skimp on prep time either; a clean and even surface - no matter how long it takes - is worth it in the end. Take your time on grouting too. Let the tile adhesive dry about 24 hours until it is fully set before you spread the grout. When you do, use a squeegee to spread it evenly, making sure to get the grout deep into the spaces.
