Tin tiles................ - Tile Advice

[Andy Allen]

Got a customer that wants these tin tiles in her kitchen....

Has anyone fitted this kind of tile..?
If so how do you cut them, what adhesive did you use, I assume you don't grout them..?
Cheers...

I'm pretty certain that @ISOMAT UK AK22 will stick them as will Kerakoll Bio Gel. Haven't had the pleasure of fixing any of those tiles myself though

Are they actually made of tin Andy, or an alloy??

Basically lay them out dry on the floor, and pre cut with tin snips to the areas measurements, and then stick em. Various methods suggested

But at worse I’d say prime backs with a grit primer, and stick with an S2. Like sticking to metal.

How weird is that. I've just sourced some glass lampshades for a light fitting in our house.

I got them from Andy Thorntons. They are based in Halifax 25 mins away from me, and I'm pretty sure I saw some on a small wall, although they were probably 450x450 in size

They specialise in antique and restoration furniture and lighting and contract interiors, restaurants etc and the showroom is a bit special.

Not sure how they would be cut or fixed Andy so no help really, but when I spoke to them they were very knowledgable about the products I asked about.
