A friend has done something similiar in her bathroom last month and it looks
stunning. Their's cost a fortune, got a designer in. (Well for them!).
I love them too, but thats one whole load of grout. And when it gets faded,
stained, mildewed etc, it.
I was in Homebase today and looked at mosaic style tiles about 8"x8", they
would only have the grout that ordinary tiles have, but they are not as nice
are they?
I spotted a link to "Waterproof Wall Panels" from a local bathroom suppliers
site and thought it looked interesting. Some of them are a bit Hyacinth or
for the gold fittings brigade, but others are quite contemporary.

Hi all,

We're building a small ensuite shower room in one of the
bedrooms. I intend to tile the whole thing, floor and walls
including shower "tray".

I'm going to build the walls out of 3/4" WBP, and line the floor
with same (flexible floorboards).

I'm thinking of using glass mosaic tiles (~inch square) for the
whole thing.

Never used mosaic tiles before, but quite fancy it in this
situation.

Any thoughts/ideas on mosaic tiles? Also, any recommendations of
suppliers (I've googled, but I'd like actual recommendations if
possible).

TIA

I've used the norske mermaid panels in the bathroom and kitchen,
and they are superb - highly recommended.

We fancy a change for the ensuite, hence the tiles.

Oh thanks, good to know. What type/colour did you go for in the kitchen?

Dark marbled blue/green with specs of gold (barely visible).

This is the bottom line for me too, conventional tiles probably have less
than 1% of area as grout, mosaics, 10% or more; I'd rather the surface I
was cleaning was glazed over as much as possible, particularly in a
shower where you're sluicing off all those nasty bi-products of toil :-/. That
said, they can look fabulous.

They look interesting - sadly the website doesnt seem to have any hint
as to the prices of the panels - do you remember roughly what they
cost ?

Got mine from local builder's merchant - about £90 for an 8'x4'.
