- Mosaic tiles can be used on a wall to create a colourful background to a décor or simply to add small bursts of colour. These tiles are easy to install and harmonize well with other types of tiles. Here, mosaic tiles are used to create a backsplash in a kitchen.
Before the installation, make sure that the surface of the walls is smooth and flat.
If you're tiling over a painted wall, lightly sand the surface first.
Tools and materials you'll need:
• Bucket
• Caulking gun
• Flat head nails
• Gloves
• Grinder or wet-cutting tile saw
• Grout
• Grout float
• Grout sealer
• Hammer
• Level
• Masking tape
• Measuring tape
• Notched trowel - 3/16''
• Pencil
• Plastic tile spacers -- 1/8'' or 1/16''
• Protective sheet
• Pull bar
• Rubber mallet
• Safety glasses
• Sanding paper
• Screwdriver
• Sheets of mosaic tile

So far, this is the best video I've seen on how to do this. Simple & concise. Thank you!
Thanks for a great how to video! First time tiler here. This was very useful.
Awesome! Very helpful!!
Thankyou for his video it's very well done and had my full attention right the way through.
I have just renovated our laundry and I am gong to tile from the new bench top to the bottom of the overhead cupboards. We haven't chosen the tiles yet but I would like to use mosaic tiles but with the clear glass type mixed in.
perfect, thank you!
8/10. Excellent video, well made, very informative, every time he said "adhesive" I wanted to self-immolate :P
When he started applying the Grout sealer I was like 'That will take some time' Then the commentator says 'After about 10 days' and I was Like 'Yep it would take me 10 days to seal all those lines too!' Lol
🤣
😂
Thanks much for sharing
love it
Good instruction
nice and helpful
Silicone after 10 days?
My question is when installing these clear type of tiles do you need a special type of tile adhesive as it would affect the look of the clear tiles, well I don't know that's what I'm thinking ???
I'm going to put these mosaic tiles on top of already existing tiled vertical walls as well on horizontal ledges (around the bath) in my bathroom. I'm not planning on removing the old tiles by the way, to much of a hassle and I'm not sure what I'll find underneath these tiles. The former owner of our house messed those tiles up by not using spacing, so I'm now wondering what "glue" he might have used to attach them. For all I know I could be ruining everything if I remove them, if you get my grip.
Are there things that I need to take into consideration, except for the wall being flat (which it is, thank goodness).
Thanks in advance!
2.17 fixing the second mat you should have turned it upside down first in order to avoid similar white tiles next to each other so it looks like random mosaik.
I thought the same thing.
thought the exact same thing!
wooow he made it look sooo easy.. take good few days for me and even then it won't be bang on right 😐
great
It was all good until the end when they stuffed up the silicone.
And the fact that the tiles shouldn't necessarily be leveled they straight to the counter tops otherwise you will endf up with small un even peices
So it don't matter if is a Sheetrock or do I have to put cement board ?
Cant wait 10days to apply silicone. any other advice when it comes to silicone?
Nice gloves
just use a grout float to flatten mosaics.
my thoughts exactly, never use a mallet on mosaics just push evenly with a grout float
Mosaic Art
hi..what grout did you use
sadly it doesnt explains how handle uneven squares. few corners of squares are pushed pushed or so
two white mosaic corners next to each other :(
They forgot to seal the tile before grout. More porous stones will retain the grout before finished
Is the h silent in "adhesive"?
I'm more interested in how that electrical outlet was set up.
Should of had box extenders put on or longer screws after taping around the wire screws so no shorts happened as the device tabs would hold flush to the tile.
Already tile ho to bhi tile k uper mosaic tile Laga sakte hai kya????
Why shouldn't we apply grout at the gap separating tile from other materials?
because it will crack
what is "adeecive" ?
Was going to comment the same lol. It's "ad-hee-sive"
What is “adeeres”??
You know it's what makes the tile a-deer to the wall
A deers, it's the plural for deer
English as a second language? Or Robot-Reader?
Or you can purchase a grout sealer that you mix with water and apply with a sponge by just wiping it all down with the solution. It's 99% faster than this way.
the tiles a deer with a dee sive
First you dont just sand the paint , at the least you need to score into the wall and prime with tilers primer , second using a mallet to tap them back ??? no dont use the mallet use a clean grout float
Finally, one person with sense and possibly experience. I love how everyone says "great video" but if you do what the video says, there WILL be problems.
🙈
Should have used clear silicone sealer. This is not an easy job. Get a pro.
3:55 Don't apply grout between tile and another type of material...next frame that space if filled in wtf?
With caulk/silicone for expansion
Totally wrong don't believe me ask a pro
