Hey I have some mosaic effect tiles to tile one wall of a bathroom with. There not like the usual mosaic effect ones as the tiles are on a noramly ceramic tiles with a mosaic pattern on a with a white groute line already on the tile. I believe theses were bought as they were cheaper then the noraml mosaic ones. The tiles also seem to have a grout line on the patteren all round the edge of the tile. With this in mind do I not put spaces between these tiles? I guess I will have to for expansion and to make water tight I just think it will look strange as if I put spacers between the tiles as the grout I put in may not dry the extact same shade of white as the groute ''effect'' lines already on the tile. Thanks if any one has any throughts on this it's the frist time I have seen this type of tiles.

Re: Mosaic effetct tiles

just use a 2mm grout joint......and yes they do look pants , but thats why there cheap.

Ok do you find with these that the actual grout line looks alot different to the one on the mosaic?

If I put the butt up would I not struggle with water penetration? as its around a bath.
 
Re: Mosaic effetct tiles

where these 'fake' grout line are, is the surface glazed or is it scored back to the biscuit?
