    Default Wet room mosaic for first timer.

    Any advice on tiling with mosaic on a wet room floor. I had originally planned the sheets out so that I had no slivers at any wall but then thought that I should be starting at the square waste. It is 4 mosaic wide and 4 high. Should I start my tiling based on the wasteso that I don't end up with tiny cuts around the stainless grid?

    If I do this I will end up at some Walls with very small cut tiles allowing for an expansion gap.

    Any advice appreciated.

    Are the mosaics on sheets? If they are dont forget you can open/close the joints by cutting the mesh to get rid of any small cuts/gaps. Dont base your set out around one particular feature, do what will look best overall. It would be better to have a few small cuts around the drain than down a whole wall.

    That's a good point the mosaic are on sheets that can be cut and seperated into individual tiles. However as you say do what looks better. As it's such a small room and the drain is directly in front of you on entering I think it would look better not having any cuts around it. Think it might be easier to open/ close spacing around Walls than at the drain.

    It's also having under floor heating installed so would the expansion gap still be important with mosaics less than if you had large format tiles?
