Mosaic floor tiles
I'm about to lay a porcelain tile floor with a mixture (in 2 halves) of Mosaic tiles on a 'paper' backing and a 600 X 300 format tile. All tiles are 10mm thisck. It's a wet room and so I assume solid bed? In terms of laying the adhesive, I've read anything from 6mm to 10mm for the large tiles but 4mm for the mosaic. As I need them to finish level with each other - what's the secret?
Help please.

re: Mosaic floor tiles
if the mosaic tile is the same thickness as your 600x300 tiles 10mm. just use a 10mm trowel, were you have read about 4mm trowel for mosiac,s thats because there the really thin ones and you need to use a small trowel to stop addy coming through joints

re: Mosaic floor tiles
You may find the large format tiles will sit slightly higher because of the larger surface area, just somethink to watch out for
