    Default MOSAIC tile question....

    Hi all

    Different one this...

    Im using this taptile system to control the lighting in the bathroom

    Taptile - ditch the switch, waterproof hidden bathroom controls.

    Thing is, the max depth from the panel mounted on the back of the tile to the touch area is 12-14mm.

    the tile is 9mm and my mosaics are also 9mm.. so too thick

    where is best to get thin mosaics? I am only after 6 induvidual ones! so will just need one sheet!

    woudl like them to match my current ones!

    OR do I get the grinder out with my current ones and make steady my hand!?

    thanks

    Dave

    i don't think you'll get mosaics to match that are thinner dave, as you said get the grinder out, watch your fingers!

    I'm guessing by your thread, that you want to have 6 mosaics as the buttons, rather than the stick on transfers?

    Why not try and source a handful of glass mosaics? I've probably got some thin glass mosaics in my garage, depending on what colour you want?

    Daz, you are spot on mate. Im after some neutral / beige / stone type colours.

    Other than glass.. i think the grinder is the way
