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.
