I get all my metro's from tons of tiles. Can't say I've seen mirrored ones on there. But worth a look. They're pretty well priced.

What are you wanting to use them for...?

I fitted a wall full of them in a hair salon! i think she bought them from Walls and Floors also. Looked really good when done. They are not stuck up with tile adhesive though, you have to use the glass/mirror silicone stuff in a tube. Dont forget that the edges where you make any cuts (if any) will be rough, so you will need to disguise these somehow. I bought some narrow pvc beading to frame the wall with when i had finished. If you find this and private message me i will try and dig out a photo for ya. Or i will put it on here if i can work out how!!!

If they're glass then BALs mosaic fix or Weber set.plus

Those walls are painted, what's under the paint, skimmed plasterboard or painted plasterboard?
Could be issues there..

 

[elizabess]

They are skimmed plasterboard I think :/

This should be ok shouldn't it as I have had the shower room which is a new build as well, and the same plasterboard and skimmed walls tiled with large heavy tiles and they are ok.

Looks good. like that. not too much to spoil it but just enough to make a feature.

 

[kilty55]

nice to see them up!!

My first reaction was - that's different, then I wondered if I could live with the uneveness of the fixing!
To me mirror and polished porcelain are similar and the reflection should be seamless. These are all over the place and although a certain rustic charm, on reflection not for me!

I'm glad someone said that. My 1st observation was the uneveness too.
If the customer is happy though.... ?

 

[elizabess]

This customer is very happy as it is the effect I was after, I wanted small mosaic mirror but could not find what I wanted and these tiles were the next best thing to get the pisculated effect
The original idea was from this attached pic
I lovvvvve them

We did the Tuxedo Princess nightclub in the early 90's using mirror mosaic - plenty of bling!

Hi timeless john, yes it is different but you really don't notice unevenness In fact I wondered what you ment when you mentioned it and they are not all over the place it may be my pics on a wrong angle but to me and others they are perfect , I just see colour reflecting from items in the kitchen and light drawn in ( to what was a dark area ) from sky lights above and the the other side of the kitchen.
