In small areas such as bathrooms with lots of obstructions on the floor or worktops it's best to avoid large tiles - there will be so few whole tiles that the effect will be lost. Mosaic tiles are ideal in these situations as they are easily cut to fit round obstacles (6). The tiles are joined by a nylon mesh or a paper face which keeps them perfectly spaced. If your tiles have a mesh this is simply bedded in the adhesive whereas paper-faced tiles are laid with the paper uppermost. This should be removed when the adhesive sets.
Use a board and hammer to tap mosaics down.
