    Default is there a less costly option than spectral mosaics?

    Hi all,

    Hope everyone is keeping well and spirits up. One of my customers has just had a few metres of the sparkly granite worktops installed and is looking at options for a splashback. They are after something quite contemporary but as the rest of the kitchen is white, not something with too much colour contrast. I have suggested maybe a spectral mosaic style. Heres the rub.....maybe only 3 sq metres (ish) in total but these tiles are running in at £83 a panel (11 panels a sq metre...£913 ) and even with trade discount will still not be far off that a square metre. The customer may go for them anyway but I wanted a backup just in case the heart attack doesn't get them.....will iridescent glass give the same effect or what do you all think?

    Thanks guys (and gals)

    Original style do a great range of mosaics both iridescent and glass, stone, etc. They do a really good brochure which you could take to your customer. Original style's website has a postcode finder to find your nearest dealer.
