How we set Herringbone Mosaic
We align the points of the herringbone across sheet seams and cut the edge pieces so the pattern meets the wall evenly.

Herringbone Mosaic questions
Is herringbone mosaic the same as herringbone layout?
They share the pattern. A mosaic comes on sheets and makes it easier on a small area, while a full layout uses larger tile.
Does herringbone suit a shower floor?
Yes. The small pieces follow the slope and the pattern looks beautiful underfoot.
