I am doing the plumbing for a bathroom and have been asked to do the floor tiling (walls being painted only). I have tiled a fair bit but I have not used mosaics on the floor before - he has purchased mosaics (the Scrabble sort of size).
Any tips?
My first thoughts are... great, no tile cutting!
Other thoughts though...
Because one cannot cut... what happens at the edges if one cannot quite get a whole row in but one does not wish to have a half mosaic space?
The adhesive is white but the grout ivory... surely if some adhesive squeezes up into the gaps then the white will show through in places when the ivory grout is later added... or am I worrying too much?
I have been provided with some sealer. On the tin it just says to secure the tiles in place then use a roller or brush. I presume this is before grouting? Last time I sealed I used a spray bottle - is this the better way?
Sorry for so many questions. I generally try to pass tiling to a tiler but sometimes it makes sense to do it oneself and the job is on a tight timescale.
Floor will be exterior ply 18mm overlayed 12mm and well screwed down.
