Installing mosaic tile as flooring or an accent strip requires a bit different technique than laying large tile. Some mosaic tile are held together in squares with a mesh backing, while others employ paper facing. To lay mosaic tile:

  • Apply thin-set adhesive to the surface with a notched trowel.
  • Embed the squares of mosaic tile in the adhesive, positioning them carefully so the joints between the squares are even.
  • If the tile is held together with a paper backing on the front, wet the paper and peel off the backing once the adhesive has set.
  • Finish up by grouting between the tile with a rubber float and sponge off any excess grout.

Laying mosaic tile requires a little extra work, but the results are worth it. Watch this video to find out more.

    I watched this show but it didn’t show how you tiled the shower niche which is what I was interested in. Is this on your website anywhere?
