Thoughts please

Had a builder/bathroom fitter friend of mine contact today about a job he's got coming up. Not sure if it was general conversation or wether I might be asked if I want the tiling.

However, its an upstairs bathroom. Likely to be a chipboard floor and customer has purchased/wants glass mosaic on the floor.
Sheets are 300x300. With bricks of 20x10. Thoughts?

Shouldn't be a problem with the glass mosaic, but how was he planning on dealing with the chipboard?

The glass will be like an ice rink when it gets wet.

I agree with bri I would never recommend glass mosaic on the floor

If it isn't a wetroom , then why not glass mosaics.. ? ..

 

[AliGage]

A wet floor was my main concern. As you say Bri.

Chipboard I haven't seen its condition but at the very least it will be overboarded. But my thoughts are that if they want mosaic, particularly glass it has to come out to put more support in. Don't want ant fractures in the glass and a call saying the customer has sliced their foot open!

As long as it's prepared correctly can't really see a problem.

Here's one I did a few years ago

Porcelanosa mosaics, mixture of glazed and matt ceramics £120m



Used Butech grout on this one, and it was lovely to work with cleaned up really well.

I used glazed mosaics on a bathroom floor of a house i owned years ago, and they were very nice and not to slippy, it was a good selling feature of the house at the time

Ive done several floors with glass mosaic, never been a problem, all the grout joints tend to make it less slippery.
