Iron and Tile Furniture

If the term "iron and tile" furniture gives you visions of a cheap Italian restaurant, think again - this design of furnishing can be a classic addition to your garden area or any room for that matter.

A sculpted wrought iron table with a mosaic top is a great way to bring a breezy air into your breakfast area or patio. If you're blessed with good weather all year round, a patio is the perfect place to have a quiet breakfast and get the day off to a good start. You're not limited to just wooden tables indoors. Wrought iron and tile looks great when presented as a small table to dine at, especially when paired with other wrought iron elements in the room such as cabinets, chairs or bakers racks.

The mosaics are all hand made by placing tiles on a wooden surface held in place by a high quality tile adhesive. They have grout rubbed over them to further hold the tiles in place. After curing for 24 hours, the tiles are clean thoroughly cleaned and a sealant is put over the tiles to ensure longevity and durability of the table top. It will easily stand out in the hottest weather but should be protected from long term exposure to freezing temperatures. Simply covering during ice and snow will protect your tabletop and let it give you many years of good service.

There are a good number of designs available and many of them look like the mosiacs found on the gardens in ancient Greece. If you want to add a classic design touch to your breakfast area or patio, think mosaic. A new iron and tile table will become a real focal point for friendly and fun gatherings around your home.
