    Travertine advice!!

    Ok I've used the green star before and I got on ok with it but guess it wouldn't hurt to move on to powder addy. I know the chap I'm doing it for has bought some cheap white powder adhesive from the builders merchant so I'll try and get persuade them to use something else. The kerracoll would be...

    Full tile at top of splashback.

    Ok I was thinking a cut tile would look pants, so would the step up be less noticeable? The step up to a full tile would be 70mm above the original line.
