Chapter 16 Park Place appropriately honors this great American city with names like Times Square, Wall Street, Terrace on the Park, Madison, Grand Central, Lexington, Gapstow, and Manhattan. The clean elegant lines and neutral color…

Chapter 16 - Park Place
Park Place is centered on clean design and subtle contrast with a hint of “glam.” The beautiful white honed stone tiles are subtly accentuated by delicate shimmering polished chips that present finish contrasts.

The jewel-like polished finish of the mosaic chips really sparkle against the honed white background. Also incorporating as much natural light as possible into a…
Do Chapter 16 mosaics need to be grouted?
Chapter 16 - Park Place
Yes, all Park Place mosaics should be grouted. Although mosaic pieces should be butted up against each other, grout is still required to fill in the joints between each mosaic piece and the individual pieces within the mosaic. We recommend using a white unsanded grout similar in color to the mosaic for a seamless look.
