Default Mosaic Tiles

Have been looking for a particular mosaic tile. Pretty common, I thought.
Various shades of the same colour and white in a random mix. See them
everywhere. But not in green. Blue, yes. Beige, of course. Red, even. Can
get near what I want in faux mosaic from B&Q, but would rather have the
real thing.
Went to one posh showroom in Fulham. Had exactly what I wanted in their
kitchen area - help yourself to a coffee. Not available anymore but we can
do something similar. In glass. Made to order. 300 quid a square metre
plus VAT. Faux suddenly becomes less of an issue...


Tile prices sem to be quite regional in SW London. Chiswick may be a
little lower, Chelsea somewhat higher.

Glass if transparent is probably not a good idea. You have to have a
perfectbed of adhesive with no marks, blemishes or bubbles. Otherwise
the substrate shows straight through.
