yes just set out about a month ago done 1st kitchen start a bathroom tomorrow any tips on mosaics

Hi mate 🙂

Just one tip springs to mind with doing mosaics, watch out for badly prepped walls.

If the walls are not even, and have deepish bumps and dents, a mosaic mesh will follow all the contours of the walls, so if you go over a sunken area, the mosaic meshed tile will also follow the depression, so you end up seeing the flow and bumps in the tiling.

Where as if you were using say 20x20 ceramics, you can always overcome some problems like this by adding a bit more adhesive "packing out" to allow for the depression, so the tile lays flat\even on a un-even wall, but doing this with a mosaic mesh is a heck of a lot harder, so more wall preparation could be needed.
