Hello all - my very first post. I am having tiling done - 60 x 60 porcelain grey tiles with a strip of same tile 30 x 30 mosaics running down the shower area from floor to ceiling. The mosaics are on a flexible background and have gaps between them of both 3mm and 4mm. Basicallly they are not all the same which surprises me but is apparently quite usual.
My tiler has started the job at 2mm spacing which he says looks smarter than 3mm spacing and that as the mosaic gaps are both 3 and 4mm that the grouting spaces between tiles can be different. He isn't making excuses because he did ask about spacing before the job started but the more I think about it the more I wonder if it shouldn't have been 3mm in an attempt to match the spaces between the mosaics.
What do you think? I know that this seems a little crazy but how about taking the mosaics off the mesh backing and laying them individually. Time consuming but accurate.
