Hi all

I'm sure this is the first of many pleas, so here goes with no.1!

I am planning to tile a small cloakroom floor (approx 2+ metres) in white hexagonal mosaic tiles, and ideally, I would like to break up the starkness of the white with some black 'flowers' - see picture below.
Now my problem is this - for the life of me I can't find any UK based places that sell black hexagonal mosaic tile sheets (or honeycomb as I believe they are sometimes called). I've searched and searched without any success. I don't need many of them as the pattern is scattered, but I really want to create this effect without having to resort to painting individual tiles!

I've emailed a few places that sell the white version to see if they have black to no avail. If anyone knows of anywhere that sells these tiles in the uk please let me know - I would massively appreciate it!

Many thanks

Lizzie

Hi! Thanks for responding. I checked with that site but the postage was astronomical due to the weight! :eek:( Really appreciate you taking the time though! I've tried tile cutters before and I was rubbish, but a friend of mine has offered up his 'exakt saw' and apparently that makes cutting somewhat easier.........we'll see. cheers!
