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 😀
I’m sure you’ll find it enlightening 😛

How to Install a Tin Tile Backsplash - https://www.wikihow.com/Install-a-Tin-Tile-Backsplash

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 😀

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.

It seems they’re used a lot as ceiling tiles John, so maybe that was their original purpose, being that size.

Mad how things like that happen tho.

Providing they cut OK with tin snips, then I can't see them being that much of a problem.....
Makes a change from metros....

Quite interesting I’d of thought Andy.
Laying it all out dry to a plan to be able to cut them all first is something the Americans do a lot with feature panels or the like.
Some will tile the whole lot on to backer boards and just Fix boards direct to the wall.
