How does Sublimation work?

During the heat transfer process, the molecules of the sublimation dyes turn from a solid to a gaseous state and penetrate the surface of the tiles. When the tile cools, the dyes return to their solid state and are permanently impregnated into the tile.



Can I have multiple images or photos on one mural or stone?

Yes anything you can imagine we can make. For instance we can make one scene with a dozen different photographs; however some extra graphic charges will apply depending on how much time it takes over and above or single photo into stone price.



Can I put an imaged or stone mural outdoors in the sunlight ?

No, you can not put an imaged or stone mural outdoors in the sunlight. It will last forever indoors but just like a vampire it doesn't like the sunlight. To be outside the tiles and stones must be coated with a UV coating.



Can I put images on counter tops, tabletops, and floors?

Yes! However only use matte or satin finish. A glossy finish is not as strong as these and therefore is not recommended for floors or table-tops.



Does this process destroy or damage my photo in any way?

Not at all! All we do with the photo you provide is scan it, If you already have a high resolution picture on your computer, we will be happy to use that too. Photos on CD can also be used as well.



Can my photo be enlarged and made into various sized wall murals composed of many tiles or stones?

Yes! We can enlarge your photo or art and make into a variety of sizes and shapes. We can even help you figure out what sizes would look best in your space if needed.



Is this product durable?

Absolutely! Photos in stone and ceramic tile are virtually fireproof. They are waterproof, and have no glass glare like framed paper photos.



How do you clean the tiles and stones?

The same way you would clean your kitchen counter. Using any regular house hold cleaner should do the trick. However, using a harsh or abrasive cleaner isn't suggested as it can scratch the coating.
