About LithoMosaic

The LithoMosaic system utilizes mosaic patterns together with a Lithocrete paving system. This is the only system that installs mosaics in a full thickness monolithic pour, allowing designers the flexibility to create their own art piece at significantly less cost than any other medium currently available.

From start to finish, the LithoMosaic process has been designed in such a way as to achieve creative control in ways that other process can’t begin to match. No longer does the artist need to “hand seed” the aggregates. Complete works can be assembled in the studio and then transported to the jobsite for installation. This also allows review by the client, architects and other team members prior to the final install.

Lithocrete® is a Shaw & Sons signature patented concrete product. LithoMosaic™ is covered under pending U.S. patents and trademarks and U.S. trademark #3,416,208.

The LithoMosaic Process

Creation of a LithoMosaic involves the following steps:

Off-site:

- The artist or designer creates an image.
- They meet with a Lithocrete installer to avert any technical issues.
- The artist or a sub creates the mosaic in porcelain and glass, full     scale, in reverse.
- The completed mosaic designs are shipped to the jobsite.

On-site:

- The Licensed LithoMosaic installer sets the work in one clean and efficient process.
- No mortar, no grout, no touch-up necessary.
