Round Room Tiling

[CCTiling]

Hi all.

In the near future I will be tiling a round room. The customer suggested a round centre piece e.g a compass. I guess these sorts of tiles would be mosiac? Does anyone know of anywhere I can buy such a thing?
Cheers Ross

Thank you all for your replies.
Gives me something to go on.
Any further links would be helpful.
The more options I have, the more info I can give to my customer.

Didn't dave @ Tradetiler have a gallery once over with a tiled compass picture?

To create a compass you dont need handmade mosaic to be bought. Too pricy and not every mosaic is suitable for a floor. Usual tile cutted with tile cutter or any other tool will do the trick.

We had a compass cut for one of our showrooms about 10 years back it was cut from large porcelain tiles with a waterjet cutting machine. The people that did it have been bought out and are now PSP in Southampton (they still do jet cuts I think). Or I have heard of another precision waterjet cutting company In Chippenham. They may be able to give you prices from rough sizes?
