When she belted out "And I Am Telling You I Am Not Going," Jennifer Hudson was not kidding. She rocked a shiny paprika Versace dress on Oscar night, and I would not be surprised if it made the Weight Watchers website crash. This bathroom is not going anywhere either!
Small tile. Mosaic tile in particular is very difficult to install and should be tackled by a professional. Mosaic tile for showers should be paper faced or film faced. Film faced tends to work a bit better, since you can see the alignment of the tile more easily.Many small tiles also have a directional arrow on the back. Make sure they get installed the same way on the wall — that all the arrows are pointed in the same direction. Glass tile expands differently, and the tile is oriented to account for that.Try not to use mosaic sheets in a shower. You need 95 percent coverage from the tile mortar to the back side of the tile, and many of these mosaic sheets are prepared with a water-based adhesive. As with natural stone, soak test any sheet tile to ensure that the glue or adhesive does not smell or break down with water.
