How will I know when my order will be done?
We’ll keep you updated on the status of your order and coordinate pick up/drop off with you or your driver. Orders take a minimum of 7-10 business days to complete once we receive the material. Rush orders are available at an additional cost.
What should I have before going to AXA Stone Designs?
To ensure accurate pricing and lead time, please provide material type, size, design, quantity, and any additional specifications. Visual aids are always helpful.
What percentage of overage do I need for my order?
Generally it’s about 10%.
The percentage of waste generated during the production of custom mosaics can vary depending on several factors, including the shape and fragility of the material, as well as the specific cut and design requirements of the order. To obtain a more accurate estimate of the waste percentage for your individual order, please feel free to inquire during your visit or contact us directly. It is important to note that waste is generated due to various factors, such as the shape, cut, breakage, and variations in the material.
Can vary 5% to 50%.
Will my material chip?
Chipping can occur when cutting material for a variety of reasons including material quality, finish, and how it is cut. We do our best on our end to make sure the equipment and machinery we use are in good condition as well as make recommendations where necessary to prevent chipping.
How will I know my mosaics will be installed correctly?
By finding a reputable installer you can ensure correct installation for your project along with proper after care. Here at AXA Stone we can provide you with an understanding of the tile installation process and help you take your first step in finding a reputable installer.
Are samples provided?
Samples are always made before approval of the order to give clients the best idea of what they’ll get.
Can I change my order after placing it?
Yes you can change your order after placing it. We do advise against it unless it is absolutely needed as it can require additional material and costs depending on how far we are into the order. If you have any changes contact us immediately to ensure you get the right order at the right price.
Do you guys hold any stock?
We do not hold material in stock, all orders are made to order. We do have samples and templates to provide inspiration.
How much does it cost?
Mosaic prices vary greatly. Generally the more work involved to create mosaics, the higher the cost.
The cost to make a mosaic is higher when the size of the pieces are smaller and when the design is more intricate. The price per square foot also depends on the type of material being used and the amount of waste for each tile. At AXA Stone we do our best to give our clients the best price.
How are mosaics packed?
Mosaics fit in a range of cardboard boxes and foam boxes. We ensure that all orders have sufficient padding and protection so that your mosaics travel safely.
Do you accept returns?
We cannot accept returns because all of our orders are custom orders. The only return we can provide is the return of the clients materials if they decide to cancel the order.
Do you guys do cove base?
Yes we offer cove base for our clients. Cove base is a requirement in commercial spaces for a cleaner environment.
How can I pay for my mosaics?
Credit/Debit Card, cash, check, and we can accept payments via quickbooks and square
Can I customize an existing AXA Stone design?
Yes! We have a variety of templates and samples to look at that you are more than welcome to take inspiration from and alter to your liking.
What are the benefits of waterjet cutting?
Waterjet cutting is faster and can provide some of the cleanest cuts with no chipping. We highly recommend choosing waterjet especially with polished porcelain.
Do you guys work with slabs?
We try to stay away from slabs because they are too large, heavy, and expensive to handle. We will work with materials that are up to 2 inches thick, but only up to a certain size. If you have thick material, please call us in advance so we can see if we can work something out.
How do I get a quote?
Call us! We’ll ask you all the questions you need for a quote.
What can you do to the edges of tile?
We do bullnose (no glazing), chiseling, beveling, pillowing, and matching. Contact us and show us the edge you’d like for more details.
What angled cuts do you do?
We do mitered cuts, pool copings, and stair treads. We also offer cove-base for public spaces.
We match the glue to the color of the tile to create a seamless look.
What is your process for quality control?
We make sure at every step that what we’re doing is what the client asked for. This includes things such as comparing our sample to yours and looking at each individual sheet before packing.
