Visited a commercial renovation project in Bath on Friday. The artist designer wants to tile the communal (male/female) customer toilet floor with pebble mosaics (its a seafood restaurant).

Never tiled using pebbles, but cannot see a problem until it comes to grouting...

But would you put a pebble floor in a toilet? Is that really going to be hygienic? And what about customers in high heels, after drinking a bottle of wine with their meal tottering across an uneven floor? The main contractor has doubts, even more so when I told her it will cost four times as much to tile!

PS. I stopped wearing high heels when drinking on a night out - too risky. o_O

Epoxy with pebbles would be enjoyable! Not to mention super pricey. If you go ahead heavily seal the grout or it'll look awful very quickly in a commercial toilet. I've done loads over the years and not a fan. The sheets don't tessalate very well so you end up stripping them and becomes time consuming.

I've not done pebbles but if I was going to do it I would be using an old skool type floor grout for grouting such as bal superflex wide joint .

Pebble mosaics are massive in the states Andy, especially for shower areas.
Some lay sheets and in fill the bad areas, but it seems that most strip them clean from the sheet.
Probably find some extra info on John Bridges site or the 'floor elf'
Never done them, wouldn't want to try either I don't think haha

I did a full shower area in pebble mosaics, they didn't fit together too well so ended cutting the mesh a lot to tweak them about. Think they got them from porcelanosa, they came with some expensive rapid setting grout
