[rma1]

why would you call yourself a specialist, isn't mosaic just another aspect to being a tiler ?

I wouldn't call myself a specialist in mosaics as im always learning new things about mosaics but I can find my way around a swimmingpool !! if you ever need a hand you know where I am:smilewinkgrin:

Mosaics, one really annoying thing for me is seeing every sheet when grouted, so for me always stagger/bond sheets especially glass. I HATE hearing, pool is going to be full no one will see it.


Any installation of mosaics should be stagger/bond

It's the one area of my a kills is need to develop more, I know all the work is really in the screed / plastering but some people seem to take it to new levels ( an art). IMO, mosaics are the most challenging installations.

Why do I consider myself a spcialist. Well there is the 3 years of intense training then a further 26 years of practis and continues personal development.

I'm in awe of the people who can do mosaics to a good standard. Takes great skill and patience and a flat substrate.
been honest I tend to shy away from doing much more than insets and stripes.
when I used to employ a few lads ( plumbers ) we did a lot of swimming pool heating systems for pool build company in Derbyshire. The lads who did the mosaic tiling said its all in the rendering. They did a fantastic job. But did feel sorry for the, when grouting what looks like a million tiles !
