Edwardian style pathway tiling

[elizabethbob]

Hi. Any advice would be appreciated. We are getting out front pathway re-tiled. It is an Edwardian house. So we are going for an alternating cream and terracotta tiled mosaic with a border. One company I have looked at only use "sheeted tiles". I can't work out if there is any disadvantage to this... anyone any experience of re-tiling using sheeted tiles?

Thanks.

If 'sheeted tiles' are just tiles which are pre-cut and fixed to a mesh backing, then I can't see a disadvantage.
It would be just like tiling with mosaic tiles which come fixed to a mesh backing. This makes it easier and quicker to lay the tiles. If they didn't have the mesh backing, each tile would have to be laid individually, which would take ages, and so would cost a fortune.

If you want an 'off-the-peg' tiling pattern (eg chequerboard, with a standard border) and the pattern you want comes in sheets, then there's no problem.

I love those Edwardian tiles. We have an offer in on a house, and I'm already dreaming of retiling the hall

Thanks Eaglebird. They are tiles mounted on a mesh and it will be a standard chequerboard with border. The company tell me that it makes no difference apart from quicker to install so I'm feeling more reassured now. Good luck with your house!
