Hi all
I plan on using a 300mm wide strip of mosaic (the kind on a webbing backing), half way up the wall. It occurs to me that the tiles above may compress them and everything might slip and become misaligned. Is this a concert and if so, how can I address the issue?
Thank you

Research the ‘dog tooth’ method.

300mm May be a bit wide for the old dog tooth but thin Wedi will work to build out the thickness required from the mosaics to the tile thickness.
