    Default wedi-try tiling?

    Hi,
    Redoing hashed-up wet-room and curious to know if we're asking for trouble. Would like to tile a wedi-board tray with 'penny royal' mosaics, but apparently wedi recommend a diamond cut finish with standard tiles. Has anyone gone down the mosaic route and regretted it (either aesthetically or in terms of wet-room function)?

    As long as you tank for a wet room, mosaic will be fine

    I'm not sure you need to tank Wedi???

    Mosaics should be fine, just make sure that you use a flexi ahdesive and grout on the floor.
