Resalvage by Artaic

Collection Summary

ReSalvage is a mosaic tile collection by Artaic, made in sintered glass and produced to order for each project. The collection translates the visual language of discarded material (cardboard, wooden pallets, peeling paint, scrap paper, reclaimed wood) into ten distinct mosaic patterns (Twine, Barnside, Timber, Timestold, Corrugated, Newstack, Endcut, Weathered, Carcabo, and Windblown), each available across fourteen colorways. What distinguishes ReSalvage is its conceptual link between subject and material: the collection draws its patterning inspiration from the recycled glass it’s made of, rather than applying a reclaimed-wood or industrial look to an unrelated surface.

Design & Aesthetic

Each pattern in ReSalvage reads as a stylized close-up of a specific discarded material. Corrugated and Newstack lean into paper-based textures (cardboard ridges, stacked sheet edges), while Barnside, Timber, Endcut, and Weathered draw on reclaimed lumber, with grain, cut ends, and pallet-plank irregularity rendered at mosaic scale. Twine introduces a looser, tangled-rope motif. Across the range, scale, color, and material have been deliberately shifted from the source object, so the finished surface reads as an abstracted pattern rather than a literal wood or paper-look tile. Colorways run from neutral (Earthen, Sepia, Ash) to saturated (Flame, Turquoise, Tangerine), giving the same pattern a very different tonal character depending on selection.

Design Applications

ReSalvage is manufactured as large-format mosaic panels (120×180″) and is listed for both floor and wall application, which opens it up beyond flooring to feature walls, accent surfaces, and vertical installations where its textural, reclaimed-material patterning can read at a larger scale. This aligns with the collection’s tagging for commercial, residential, and feature-wall use — a bar backsplash, lobby feature wall, or textured accent surface in a lounge or hospitality space would all be reasonable applications given the verified floor-and-wall listing.

Specifying ReSalvage

ReSalvage is sintered glass, 9.5mm thick, with a glossy finish and flat surface, produced in square mosaic/geometric format. Like all Artaic mosaics, it’s made to order and is described as infinitely customizable by tile type, size, color, and imagery — so the ten patterns and fourteen colors listed here represent the standard offering rather than a hard limit. Because the collection is confirmed for both floor and wall use, designers should still confirm with a representative whether a given pattern/color combination has been tested or installed in wet or heavy-traffic conditions specifically, since general floor/wall approval doesn’t itself specify performance in those more demanding contexts. Lead time is listed as special order, roughly 7–12 weeks in the US, and should be confirmed directly given the made-to-order production model. Variation is rated V1 (low), meaning tile-to-tile color and texture consistency should be relatively predictable within a run.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can ReSalvage be used on a feature wall as well as a floor?

Yes — the listing specifies both floor and wall application, making patterns like Corrugated or Timber suitable for vertical feature surfaces as well as flooring.

Can I mix multiple ReSalvage patterns within one installation?

Because each pattern is produced to order and the collection is described as fully customizable by tile type, size, color, and imagery, combining patterns (for example, Timber and Endcut in complementary colorways) is generally feasible — confirm feasibility and cost impact for a specific layout with your representative.

Does floor-and-wall approval mean ReSalvage is suitable for a shower or wet area?

Not necessarily. Floor and wall are separate from wet-area or submerged-condition ratings; the sintered glass spec sheet does show water absorption under 0.5% and chemical/frost resistance, but wet-area suitability for this specific application should still be confirmed with your TXD representative.

How does variation rating V1 affect a large installation?

A V1 rating indicates minimal tile-to-tile shade and texture variation, useful for designers who want a consistent, uniform surface across a large floor or wall panel rather than a highly varied, artisanal look.
