Default sheeted floor tiles

Doing a floor in a couple of weeks and the tiles are 10 x 10, however they are on a sheet of 4, as in like mosaic sheet but just 4 on it. Do you just lay these as normal or do i use a smaller notched trowel?

Thank you

agree with you both. also when beding them down use your grout float so the bed down even.

So basically just treat them as you would a mosaic then?

hi mat....

just use a 6mm solid fix trowel or you nearest to it but not below...cut a piece of ply 9mm or so to the same size as a sheet of tiles and then use this too pat the tiles flat with a ruber hammer ( lightly )..clean joints as you go......good luck mate...
