We can do everything from removing blemishes from
portraits and eliminating damage from aged photos, to completely removing
backgrounds or individuals from photographs.
Once your artwork is ready and approved by you,
our imaging process involves a special six color UV resistant ink set.
Once printed, we use a sublimation process of intense heat and pressure
to change the ink to a gaseous form, where it migrates through
the top layer of specially manufactured tiles. Once the heat and pressure
is removed the ink is instantly locked permanently into place, leaving
behind a beautiful imaged tile!
The remaining step is installation and that's up
to you. These tiles should be installed with an industry standard method.
Each tile arrives individually packaged
and numbered.
Use our enclosed grid print-out to
reassemble the tiles in proper order..
Custom wood frames are also available and we can
mount your tiles into a finished mural for you at an additional charge.

6" tiles in a custom wood frame.
We recommend full color printed tiles for indoor
use, though they can last up to three years in bright natural
light conditions.
There are products now being researched and manufactured
to provide full color tiles in an outdoor application. Contact us today
to learn more.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much will these murals cost?
A: Some standard pricing is available and will soon be printed on this
web page. For now, contact Laser Image Tile for a consultation.
Q: Will my mural look exactly like the image I submitted?
A: Laser Image Tile strives to produce the highest quality image reproductions.
Color reproduction will vary based on the tile body selected for your
project. If we feel we cannot achieve satisfactory results, we will contact
the customer to discuss.
Q: How long will it take Laser Image Tile to produce my mural?
A: We typically ship your mural within 2 weeks from the day we receive
your order/image.
Q: What if I break a tile during installation?
A: Laser Image Tile will supply a limited number of replacement tiles
at no additional cost. Shipping on replacement tiles is not included.
The number of replacement tiles is contingent on the size of the project
and will be specified in your order confirmation. For this purpose, we
keep a digital file of every mural produced for a period of 3 months from
date of shipment.
Q: Where can I install these murals?
A: Almost anywhere! Specific tile bodies are appropriate for different
applications. Contact Laser Image Tile for consultation.
Q: Can these tiles be installed on the floor?
A: We have a glass tile product available that can be installed in both
residential or commercial floor applications.
Q: What installation method do you recommend?
Grout: Sand-free or silicone grout caulking should be used when
installing Glossy, Satin Hard Coat, and Textured Wall Tile bodies. Other
types of grout may scratch the imaged surfaces during fixing.
Sanded grout can be used on the following tile bodies if needed: Tumbled
Stone, Satin and Glazed Porcelain, Mosaic or VersaTile.
Sealers: It depends on the specific tile body, but Tumbled Stone
murals should be sealed if used in any water application. When installing
VersaTile on a counter top, it is recommended to use a sealer on the grout.
Q: What do you recommend for maintenance of a tile mural?
When cleaning your tiles, we recommend that you use any non-abrasive household
cleaner. Gloss murals should be cleaned with glass cleaner or multi-purpose
cleaner and a soft cloth.
Q: Can these murals be installed outside?
A: YES. Laser Image Tile utilizes "Millennium XE," a UV protective
overcoat that can be applied to your mural after installation. Our porcelain
tile bodies are perfect for climates that experience freezing temperatures,
like Wisconsin where we are based!
