fluorescent tiles
Strange request I know but looking for some for fluorescent tiles, size material etc not important going to cut them up for mosaic.
Young brother in-law past away at start of the year & im doing some sort of feature at his grave (liked bright colours) He was a former student of the Glasgow school of Art & the family think its a good idea not exacly sure what im going to do yet maybe vases or something like that, waiting to see what the headstone is like black granite I think
Anyway did a google search etc and tried my local supplier and cant seem to find anything!
Anybody used the or know where to find some?

Saw some in a local tile shop but they were floor tile,not sure what they were made of but one was a barbie pink another was a lime green..
Looking where your based it would'nt be cost affective."Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes"

300x300 where they if I come across something suitable theres a good site that gets you prices from couriers, can be under a tenner picks it up drops at your door 3-5 days later used it a few times only after prob 1m or 2, between 3 or 4 colours.

Re: fluorescent tiles
Wow good idea that, I was just remembering when Del & Rodney done there mums Headstone and thinking it wasnt such a good idea, you see when I mentioned it to the Mrs and family I was sort of half joking Aye hed like that ill do him something luminous and they jumped on it!
What grout you recomend and what colours does it come in

Re: fluorescent tiles
I just got some Litochrom Starlight epoxy online and on their site they show and sell the night vision grouts, but I remember, vaguely, that other companies do it, too, I'd just google if I was you.
I also remember reading somewhere that some hotels quite like it so their guests find their way round in the bathroom at night ..
but it could be kind of neat...

Re: fluorescent tiles
This is the litokol catalalogue, the "night vision" additive /effects are shown on page 8, I see if I find some more...
http://www.creationsomni.com/co/imag...e_grouting.pdf
This is the place where I bought the epoxy grout from, they may sell the additive, too, don't know, it's not what I needed
Litochrom Starlike Tile & Grout Tiles/Tiling Accessories Adhesives & Grouts - Walls and Floors
This American company sells glow in the dark powders to add to grout or concrete in lots of colours, they look pretty wicked..
Glow in the Dark Powder
and Laticrete do a glow in the dark grout, but I have yet to find where Laticrete is available in the UK, had a Scottish contact once but lost that with my old pc, was very expensive, but it is the undisputed grout of choice amongst American mosaic artists....
