Hi all, I've got a question about a job I am in doing at the moment. There has been a wedi shower tray Installed in the room and I am due to tile it with 300x300 travertine tiles which are split into 50x50 squares on a mesh. My question Is are the tiles small enough to naturally follow the fall of the tray or am I going to have to envelope them? Help would be greatly appreciated.

Thankyou very much for your quick reply :) It was because I wasn't sure it they were still classed as mosaics due the the individual squares being larger than mosaics I have used before. When I lates some on the tray dry they seemed to bend quite nicely to the fall. Also its my first time with a tillable shower tray do I need to prime the surface at all or are they ready to tile straight onto?
