This article is part of the article: Installing mosaic tiles This article briefly discusses cutting or clipping mosaic.

Once you've laid most of the tiles, you'll reach the edges of the room. Because of this, you'll almost always need to cut the mosaic tile sheets to size.

Glass mosaic tiles are cut, and ceramic tiles are trimmed. Special tools are required for trimming and cutting, which tilers usually have. Besides cutting, ceramic tiles can also be sawn with a table saw. Note: make sure you only need to cut the top or bottom, not both sides.

Mosaic tiles Measure space

Measuring your space so you can order the right amount of tiles is the first step in our mosaic tile DIY guide. Accurately measuring the surface is important to ensure you order the correct number of tiles. Use the length and width of the surface to measure. For example: You want to cover the hallway floor with mosaic tiles. The floor is 4 meters long and 2 meters wide. Multiply 4 meters by 2 meters, which equals 8 square meters (or m²). Divide this 8 m² by the surface area of one box of tiles to determine how many tiles you need. However, do take into account cutting waste. The sheets often won't fit perfectly against the wall, for example, because small mosaics may protrude beyond the sheet. This means you'll need to cut or trim the sheet. This results in some waste, which is called cutting waste. Mosaic tile space measurement DIY guide Measuring the space Do it yourself or have it done?

Grouting mosaic tiles

This article comes after installation. Read here: Installing mosaic tiles . Start grouting mosaic tiles as soon as you know the installation steps. You've successfully completed the grout. Also, read these grouting steps carefully before you begin. Once you've covered the entire surface, the adhesive must first cure thoroughly. After this, you can begin grouting. Choose a grout suitable for the application (wall, floor, pool, etc.). Also, choose a color that complements the mosaic tiles. We recommend purchasing the same brand of grout and sealant to ensure the colors match as closely as possible. Always mix grout with a mixer, not a trowel. This reduces the amount of water needed, ensuring the grout dries to the correct color. Mix the grout according to the instructions on the package. Spread it over the surface. Use a trowel to spread it. Check that all joints are properly filled with grout. Be careful not to leave any air bubbles or gaps. Once the grout is thoroughly dry, you can start polishing. Check the grout packaging for the drying time. Use a sponge and plenty of water for polishing. Mosaic tile DIY guide Measuring the space Do it yourself or have it done?
