Laying mosaics over a wet room former - TilersForums.com

[James De]

hello,

So I’ve been reading a few posts on here about laying mosaics, can’t seem to find anything for wetroom formers that already have the fall built in.

Can anyone give me a few tips to laying mosaics over a wetroom firmer please? Area is around 2.5m2 and custard hasn’t chosen mosaics yet so unsure of the size of tiles.

Thanks in advance
Jay

Is it a foam tray or resin?

Resin with a membrane layer

So the custard has bought quartz 30x30 mosaics (need sealing). I’d really appreciate some help on this as I’m laying them tomorrow

What exactly is troubling u about this tray with mosaics?

Stating the obvious use a trowel with a notch big enough to get a good hold but not to big to bleed through and use a suitable adhesive I've bin using kerakoll no limit recently it's really nice to use

Other than that mosaic on a former is pretty straightforward?

Check with the tray manufacturer that they are happy with the point loading of a 30 x 30 .
