A question for the mosaic experts

[Cranbrook]

Been asked to price my first kitchen mosaic splashback in a seriously long time, and the customer is supplying the brick effect type.. but he wants the complete reveals tiled including the heads.. two windows worth.. Maybe im having a dull moment but how do the mosaic folk on here go about doing heads of reveals with such mosaics??

the soffit you mean?

I just run them linear to the long edge of the window. if that is what you mean?

 

[Cranbrook]

Yeah the soffit (I just always tend to refer to it as the head of the reveal)..

I was more sort of thinking how to secure the mosaics in place without them falling down

Mosaics are light ....the adhesive should hold them in place no problems.

Can you tell how long I haven't done mosaics for

To trim or not to trim?

depends on the mosaic edge... is it a finished edge to the mosaic?

 

[Cranbrook]

Fair point.. I'll have to check because I've only seen a pic of them.. thanks for your help @Tom Astley
