Very small pieces, often glass, are shaped in a 1 by 1 square. We usually call it 1 inch mosaic square tiles. Generally, twelve rows by twelve columns of these mosaic tile chips are connected in alignment to form a sheet with mesh on back. The mesh backing that combines the tile chips can be easily cut apart with a utility knife. That helps installers get whatever shape of tile at the occasion of needing to fit the corners and joints. Also, tiles can be individually peeled off to mend up the missing part.

Similar to 1 inch mosaic tile, mosaic tile with each individual tile sized at 2 inches square is usually available in mesh-connect form too. Yet the only different is that 2 inch mosaic tile has bigger chip surface to make textures and colors show apparently. In this way, tile sheet seems to look more like an entirety. Once grout gaps are filled up, it is attached firmly on the concrete wall and creates a mosaic backsplash that is integral all around. 2 inch mosaic tile is used in kitchen and bathroom for backsplashes and walls. In some cases, it can be also used for flooring, like if it is a full body tile or has a non slip matte surface.
