All I would say is keep an eye on how wide your grout lines are between mosaic sheets, and keep them the same width as the inner grout lines of the sheets themselves, as you can see the perimeter grout line of each sheet because it's a bit wider than the sheets inner grout lines.

Other than that, all looks nice and flat

Nice work geordie, i'd be pleased with that. Only thing as already posted is the 'halo' effect around the sheets, might it be worth brickbonding the sheets to help remove this effect? But impressive overall effect, id be chuffed for first job.

Nice job mate. Very nice tile as well. The most important question is does the customer like it? You'll learn on every job. The only thing I saw was the same as what everyone else mentioned.

The only other thing I can see, and it is ultra picky in a way only tilers can be, and that is on the 3rd pic it looks like the corner is seriously on the ****. You have gone into it with a sliver which kind of exaggerates the effect.

Because of the light i can't see whether you have just carried the tile on around the corner or whether it is a lone sliver.

Apart from semantics it looks excellent and I am sure the customer is delighted. Well done


When you stop asking questions you stop learning
