Glass mosaic for a shower former

[poynton phil]

I'v a customer who wants me to put 10mm x 10mm x 4mm glass mosaic on her shower tray. Just need to know if these will be ok for the shower tray, and what size trowel would be best to use. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

:yikes: What's the shower tray made of?? Not a plastic one, surely??

 

[poynton phil]

No, its a insulation board one.

Ah...over the the wetroom experts... :lol:

I'am sure it can be done but I will not be giving any advice as I would certainly assume that a GLASS mosaic will be too slippery underfoot to perform to any relevant guidlines for slip resistance!

Is it the marmox tray

there's gonna be a lot of grout lines to get a grab underfoot tho' John, but likewise, i won't be advising as I'm a bit unsure on this one:smilewinkgrin:

Ive got glass mosaic in my own shower floor but they are purpous made non slip no probs, polished glass mosaic will probably ok but why not use the proper stuff.

My customer had already bought them, the tile shop said it would be ok. But how many times have we heard that one.

Marmox say in there information that the minimum size tile is 50mm x 50mm on there trays, don't know if its similar advise on your tray

 

[peckers]

the other thing to think about is how thick is the main floor tiles that the mosaic is going to butt upto!(or is it all over the floor) I wouldnt like to have to pack up the mosaic to make up the thickness what a mess you will get into!
Unless it is possible to make it up with those plastic packers i saw on here somewhere?

I've got to admit we never use anything other than anti-slip tile's on swimming pool step unit's , it's a bit risky IMO

 

[poynton phil]

Cheers guys i think she, will be better off changing them. souund a bit to risky.

Phil, just to back up your advice to the customer, phone Mapei's tech department and speak to them...

Hey buddy,

Is that not the maximum size of tile to be used without needing to make envelope cuts in a tile?

No mate, it's the minimum because the tile adds strength on there trays
