give them a ring as I couldnt find anything in data sheet. from the other hand. will you need decoupling membrane for mosaic?

I believe this is what the company supplying the polypipe panels have recommended.

For white glass mosaic you will need a white backing otherwise any dark material will change the colour.....

yes but for normal tiles so the wont crack. but mosaic 2.5/2.5 it wouldn't. but wait for others more experienced members advice. as its only me thinking.

I'm struggling to work out your design.

I take it some of the displayed drawing is going to act as a worktop? If so you just won't have the structural strength in marmox. Especially over the span it appears to be, although again hard to tell as there are no dimensions on the drawing.

First work out what materials would be structurally stable over the spans needed and also straight andtrue, then decide which of those materials are best suited to tiling

They are ceramic tiles.

- De-coupling layer - Dural DURABASE CI++ matting
- mosaic tiling on top

Anybody see any flaws? Do you think this method would be ok with thin white ceramic mosaic?

Muchos regards, Jamie.

hey jstrats, as far Durabase is concerned 50x50 is smallest recommended tile size. Maybe something like the new Bal De-coupler would work!
Well Bal say it's suitable for Mosaic!
