Hi

I am wondering if anyone can give me some advice. I have some old blue slate roof tiles that i would like to put on the wall behind my new shower. What i am unsure about is if it will work. They do not have completely straight edges and they are quite thin compared to normal wall tiles. I assume the adhesive will stick OK but the grout may have issues because of the tile thickness. Also, could water get in behind them easier? I don't think it would but a couple of people have raised this issue so they have got me worrying about it. They have a couple of small holes in them where the nail's went through to attach them to the roof but i don't think this would be an issue as i ca just dab a little grout in them. Any advice is much appreciated.

Regards
