STONE FLOOR MEDALLIONS INFORMATION:
Marble Floor Medallions are available in the designs shown
on this page or in a custom design of your own, e.g., a family
crest or a corporation logo.
Our master craftsmen execute marble floor designs in marble, granite, or travertine. The stone medallions have been engineered to fit seamlessly into stone, tile, or hardwood floors. You can customize any water jet marble design with elements from other flooring medallions or borders, as well as different stones and sizes.
Prices are shown for several popular standard sizes, but can be customized. Most of the floor medallions can be scaled up to any size. Twelve-foot diameters are not unusual.
It's essential to understand the differences between mosaic, tile medallions, and stone waterjet medallions to appreciate the advantages of Czar Floors' products.
Czar Floors creates waterjet stone medallions by cutting natural stone slabs with a waterjet and assembling them as tightly as possible on a solid backing. Stones are polished, and there are no gaps or grout between individual pieces. You don't have to worry about cleaning the grout or matching the grouts in color. The availability of computerized waterjet equipment allows us to cut stone to incredibly close tolerances.
The standard stone medallion thickness is 3/8". This thickness matches most porcelain tile thicknesses.
A close-up picture of the standard 3/8" thickness waterjet marble medallion shows that the marble is mounted on an aluminum substrate.
It can be made in other thicknesses. For outdoor applications or different thickness requirements, you may order solid marble medallions with a thickness of 15-18mm without aluminum.
Czar Floors' stone medallions can also be specially treated to create a "non-slip" Honed surface for an additional charge. Stone medallions can be installed on either the floor or walls and can be used as backsplashes in kitchens or as tabletops.
Czar Floors' standard stone medallions use a sturdy aluminum backer. This "space" material is light and strong, allowing for easy handling and shipping. The same non-corrosive aluminum is used in avionics. The backside of the medallion is rough-sanded to allow for better adhesion to the subfloor. Thinset or adhesive can be used. Medallions up to 72" can be made as a single piece, ready to install. Please see the Stone medallions installation instructions for more details.
Other types of stone inlays available on the market:
- Mosaic medallions are made from small stones, tiles, or glass pieces assembled with grout gaps. It's typically attached to mesh on the back. Gaps between pieces have to be filled with grout. Czar Floors can also make this type of medallion using marble or glass chips. Mosaic is more commonly used in large backsplashes, pool walls, or shower walls. We supply extra chips for every color used in the design. Please contact us for a quote.
- Tile medallions are made from cutting standard off-the-shelf ceramic, porcelain, or marble tiles. These medallions are typically shipped as a set of labeled precut tiles to be assembled on-site, as a kit. The installer will have to put grout between the tiles and assemble the pieces. Medallions will have seam lines going across the surface. We do not produce this type of medallion.
