Has anyone fitted this kind of tile..?
If so how do you cut them, what adhesive did you use, I assume you don't grout them..?
Cheers...

The first link is to a uk company who supply them Andy, they should be able to help.

It seems it’s very much an American thing, the second link is to a tutorial site :D
I’m sure you’ll find it enlightening :p

Basically lay them out dry on the floor, and pre cut with tin snips to the areas measurements, and then stick em. Various methods suggested :D

But at worse I’d say prime backs with a grit primer, and stick with an S2. Like sticking to metal.

How weird is that. I've just sourced some glass lampshades for a light fitting in our house.

I got them from Andy Thorntons. They are based in Halifax 25 mins away from me, and I'm pretty sure I saw some on a small wall, although they were probably 450x450 in size

They specialise in antique and restoration furniture and lighting and contract interiors, restaurants etc and the showroom is a bit special.

Not sure how they would be cut or fixed Andy so no help really, but when I spoke to them they were very knowledgable about the products I asked about.
