Tiling with 2-diff thickness tiles

[marie27]

Hiya again

It was reading another newbie's Q, that it occurred to me, that I might also have a problem.

I am tiling my bathroom with B&Q's 7mm thickness Ripples tiles, with a border tile which is 5mm thick. It is Honeycomb's Sapphire Mosiac tile which I shall be cutting into rows of 4 dots / circles to create the border.

Will the 2mm difference cause many problems, or I am looking for problems when there will be none?

Thanks
Marie

No,2mm should be no problem.
Tile up to where you want the boarder then fix a piece of timber the width of the boarder in the gap,tile above.
When the adhesive has set remove the batten then fit you mosaics,press them in with a grout float across the gap to keep them nice and flush with the other tiles.
