Marble mosaic in bathroom

I'd like to use a marble mosaic in a band as a feature on the bathroom wall but I've been told the edges can't be cut straight enough to butt up to a rectified tile. If they can't be cut, what is their intended application?

    Hi Karen they can be cut, the only difference is if you are doing a tile strip then you're going to want to make sure the mosaics sit flush against the other wall tiles. Marble is generally thicker than ceramic so your tiler will need to pack out behind the ceramic tiles to compensate. Tile tile strip looks is a fairly dated trend, you'll see it a lot in spec builder's display homes but that's about it. If you look at any of the latest design trends you'll find marble mosaics much better suited to full walls on application. Whether behind a bath or vanity wall it looks fanatic on a larger scale rather than the old style vertical strip. Hope this helps.

    Thanks Birdblack design. I will rethink using the mosaic in this room. I have an ensuite where I could use it on most of the wall but I would like to stop the marble before the shower begins. The tiler is telling me he can't cut a clean enough edge to have that edge exposed though.

    Hi Karen,
    Peter from M2tiles here, yes these can be cut neatly if the tiler users a correct electric saw for stone . Our product of marble mosaics are the same thickness as a standard gloss or mat white tile which we also sell. If your heart is set on using a border or strip down the wall then do it there will always be trends, yes the latest is feature walls and block designs next year it will be something else .

    Thanks Peter, I will have a further discussion with my tiler.
