Find your Sonite.

Over 300 colours. More than 200,000 combinations. Here is how we get you to the right one.

1. Closest match.

Tell us about your project and we send the nearest available sample. You feel the thickness, the sheen and the scale.

2. Your design rendered.

We build your colours and pattern in Sonite's own colour tool and show them on a wall like yours, so you can see how it will look in your space.

3. Your exact colour, if you want it.

If you want to hold the exact colour before you commit, we request it from Sonite and arrange delivery.

Made to order. Made your way.
Every Sonite mosaic is made to order. Pattern, finish and colour are yours to choose, which is why the possibilities run into the hundreds of thousands. The designs below are a selection to start you thinking. They are not the limit of what Sonite can do.

How to read the image labels
S12 Your reference. Quote it when you contact us.
Bamboo The pattern: how the pieces are laid.
15x30 The size of each piece, in millimetres.
Trochus Lite The finish: the surface look, from pearl and shell to metallic and silk.
071 The colour within that finish.

Most patterns can be made in other finishes and colours. If you like the pattern of one and the colour of another, tell us both numbers.

Price and delivery. Send us the S number and your area in square metres. We will come back with a price and a delivery date, and a closest match sample if you would like one.

Start with the finish.

Sonite is made to order, so we do not carry every colour and shape. We carry the process that gets you to the right one. Start with the finish, pick a shape, and we take it from there.

Shapes and patterns

Chip sizes (a chip is one small piece of the mosaic) from 5 x 5 mm to 40 x 40 mm, and long formats such as 15 x 100 mm.

Shapes include hexagon, diamond, chevron, herringbone, braid, rhombus and honeycomb.

Pattern families include Grid, Cosmos, Equinox, Magnolia, Polaris, Pleiades, Bamboo, Ellipse, Honeycomb, Chevron, Herringbone, Rhombus, Diamond, Staggered, Braid and Madison.

Bespoke mosaics

From patterned floors and lift lobbies to wall murals and vaulted ceilings. Colours and patterns can be made for your design, and short runs are normal for Sonite.

Feel it. See it. Then we get the real thing.

Made for interiors. Placed with care.

Sonite is at home on interior walls, in bathrooms, bars, lobbies and ceilings, anywhere you want colour, sheen and pattern.

Like most designed surfaces, it prefers a life out of all day direct sun. If your wall gets long hours of direct sun, tell us. We will say plainly whether Sonite is the right choice for that wall, and if it is not, we will tell you.

We tested a Sonite sample through a full New Zealand summer of exposure. It came through fine.

Six simple rules.

Surface. Smooth, even and clean, with no bumps or hollows.

Adhesive. Sonite has tested and approved Laticrete 254 Platinum, Weber Fix Plus and Weber epoxy. Use a white adhesive with translucent Sonite to prevent colour drop. Ask us about locally available equivalents.

Wet areas. Sonite is rated by Sonite for showers, baths and steam rooms with operating temperatures below 80 degrees C, fixed with epoxy adhesive and grout.

Floors. Sonite 10, 15 and 20 mm mosaics are rated for light traffic floors with epoxy adhesive and non sanded grout.

Heat. Keep Sonite away from open flame and hot appliances. Do not set hot objects on it.

One order. Shade and tone vary naturally, so order everything for a job together.

Not sure? Tell us about the space. We will tell you straight.
