i have only tiled one kitchen with those pebble type mosaics..they are quite random in pattern so really only practical in areas that the window cills arn't to tile as it can look a bit messy on the edges..i had to cut them using my wet cutter ..when setting out try to maximise your cuts to suit the corners etc..........dave..

Cheers dave, they are to go in a shower area so hopefully i shouldn't have any cuts that will look to mesy. i have a bricolina wet cutter, do you need a heavy duty cutter for these?

there is normally no need to cut them. just pull them off the mesh and put smaller pebbles in the space. just work off one of the walls cause you cant see if its out of square or not. make sure the floor is really flat as you may only be able to use a 6mm trowel on them

that cutter will be fine.use water ...dave...
