Setting Out Stainless Steel Tiles

[Chris Alderton]

I have had a customer ask me about fitting stainless steel tiles in her kitchen. this is a new one on me. can anyone give me some pointers and advice of fitting them...firstly, adhesive, grouting, cutting etc. and any special products needed and secondly how easy for her to keep clean afterwards. many thanks

Are the tiles solid steel Chris? Or ceramic/ porcelain with a steel face?

[Rich]

As Bri says, I assume these are mosaics with steel faces? In which case you dont need a special adhesive and they can be fixed as any other mosaic. Be careful not to use a course grout as the faces are easy to scratch.

[Mike]

if they're as rich says they can be cut with a glass/diamond disc as the stainless is really thin

Thanks for the info, if it helps, below is a link to the tiles she is looking at.

Yeah they can be fitted as a normal ceramic tile (I would use a single part powder adhesive), cut with a diamond wheel and grouted with a fine grout. They are basically ceramic tiles with a steel cover over them.

Thanks Rich, i will let the customer know and see what she decides.

Quick question Chris, Are there lots of neglected campervans down there if you're tiling full time now? (Assuming this is the same Chris!!)
