the tile are in a pattern sort of brick work pattern say around 10 little tiles stuck together in a a stagerd pattern which you then put the other 1 next to to match up type thing quite hard to explain.

 

[Rob01]

So mosaics then..?

 

[Rob01]

yeah but with out the mesh.

 

[DHTiling]

So what holds these 10 little tiles together..??

The weber adhesive will be fine..

 

[Rob01]

it looks like each tile has been glued together you can see the marks on the back would you recommened 6-8 mill notched trowel or somthing different?

If the tiles are around 10mm thick then ye the 8mm would be my choice.
