    I've used something similar and they can look quite good. That's a tidy bit of tiling, but maybe for future reference, you should stager the mosaic sheets.

    The one's I fitted are from Porcelanosa and were a pain in the butt to install and grout. I have them to do on another job, 25 square metres on one wall and I'm really not looking forward to it.

    you can get similar ones that are not required to be grouted!

    They come in sheets that have previously been set on a bed of sand/cement.
