Hi All,
First time poster and tiler here. Hoping to get a bit of advice on tile a wet room shower tray using hexagonal mosaic (30cm x 30cm sheets - individual tiles are probably 2.5cm x 2.5cm or so). The shower tray is level to the floor, I've used cement board on the walls and floor and tanked and taped the whole place. I've dry-layed and cut all the mosaic that I need and ready to go. The issue I am having is that I am using a nassboard tray (Wetroom Shower Tray Kit Aqua Tanking Kit - Nassboards - https://nassboards.co.uk/product/wetroom-shower-tray-kit-aqua-tanking-kit/) and it has a 15mm upstand around the drain and the mosaic tiles themselves are only 4mm high. Based on my significant levels of google research, I should only be using the V-notch trowel for mosaic so it doesn't leave me with much height on the https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/. Net result is, the tiles are sitting below the top of the drain which is bad news.
Any advice on how I could counteract this with https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/? I have seen some examples of using a 10mm or 12mm notch trowel and slightly flattening out the top of the https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ and laying the tile on that. Would that work or be something that would be recommended? Any other suggestions (outside of call a professional!) would be much appreciated.
Thanks very much!
