Re: Mosaic effetct tiles

They are rather cheap tiles and seeing as the grout lines are glazed and fairly shallow I would imagine, then I doubt you'll ever be able to grout the whole tile as you can do with some of them. Added to the fact they have a fake grouted edge to them, It's going to be neigh on impossible to make them look good, I would explain this to the customer and tell them "These tiles will never look like mosaics!"

I'd try and offer them a different tile, failing that i'd tile them with 1mm spacers and be done with it

Re: Mosaic effetct tiles

ok thanks yes I was looking at a 1mm grout line to try make them look the best I can.
 
ive used boat loads of these tiles for the tight arse landlords i tile for.

its the old saying you cant make a silk purse out of a sows ear.
 
Sorry, but as stated above these tiles never quite pull off looking like moaic. Just do your best mate, good luck:thumbsup:
 
I use my rubi wedges and get the joints tight as possible, to wide a grout joint and it will look PANTS..🙂

Make sure you leave perimeter joints left/right and top/bottom.. then no worries with expansion..
