Depends. The big grey patterned tiles were fine. The small orange mosaic ones, we couldn't get the colour we wanted on a sheet so got individual ones. They are also much thinner and slightly translucent. So I had to lay a strip of ply to raise them up and also use white adhesive as the grey stuff dulled them badly. They were then a pain in the dick to individually lay and get straight. It's not perfect, but it's the best I could do. They are also 20mm x 20mm, whereas the original design used 25x25, so the self levelling compound base is too wide so I had to order a different strip of oak beading, which ended up being £60 posted. It's a bit of a labour of love at this point.

Fireplace progress. Still waiting for the oak trim to arrive to go around the edge of the (fiddly bastard) mosaic tiles. Carpet fitters coming on Thursday. Hoping to rip up the old laminate and underlay and get the room ply boarded in time. Well, I'll have to.
