i have 2 verticle columns of mosaic tiles to put as a feature in a bathroom the other tiles are rectangle and customer wants them laying in a brick effect what is the best way to set up for this type of situation

hi benny where are these faeutures to be? centre of bath/behind sink etc and are they on seperate walls?

they are to be inside the shower cubicle kilty

Use a square silver trim against the brickbond tiles as a stop and then mosaic between that.

Are your mosaic as thick as your brickbond tiles

are these the travertine mosaics?
if so i have done them upright lately a few times to reall good effect,it also save you a lot of hassle as you will need to cut only the top and bottom rows as you can set out your walls with these as the centre,they can also be put in bands around the room but it's starting to get a bit dated,if you are though i would tile the room up to and including the band in 1 day as it makes it a lot easier going on top of them

sorry david what are travertine???

the mosaic are slightly thicker so i will have to bed out the brick effect tiles is this correct??

I wouldnt

I woud use the trim as whitebeam has suggested this will disguise the extra thickness of the mosaic

Set it so the return walls follow suit and cut edges away from the mosaics..

dave

sorry i don't understand

i have 300mm between the vertical tile trim edge and the corner of bathroom .The bathroom tiles are 420 they are being laid in a brick pattern . Due to already having to cut the tile to fit into corner i need to get it to continue the brickwork look and not just be cut on cut on cut i couldn't do this the other side of mosaics

sorry dave my brain is frying

you need to follow your brickwork pattern around

I start from the window
