Tips on Making Mosaic Flush with Field Tile 

Using thin ditra was the first method I used, because we always had more ditra scraps of various thicknesses than we did Kerdi board. I picked it up from The Floor Elf website initially.

Thanks JC! 🙂

Hi Edie, there could be some variables with the glass tile. Our Customer support team will know best. Mind giving them a call? US 800-472-4588 CA 800-667-8746 Thanks!

Hi Jeff! You could use a 1/4" x 1/4" trowel or a 1/4" x 3/8" square notch and use the knockdown method, as shown in this video: instagram.com/p/CdwEkHNK6K2/? You could also ask the dealer or tile manufacturer if they have a specific recommendation. The main thing is to check for 95% coverage and make adjustments as needed. Hope that helps! 🍊

@Schluter-Systems North America / Amérique du Nord very helpful. Just to clarify tho.. will 1/4 x 1/4 cause squeeze thru in the mosaic at all? Thx again

It should, but again it really depends on the mosaic itself, depends on the size of the pieces, pattern etc. Best to confirm with the dealer or the tile Manufacturer to make sure they are not suggesting something more specific.

@@schlutersystems1 will do thank you for taking the time to respond... many on the tube won't bother👍

Hi Debra, Both the tile and the KERDI-BOARD shim are applied with thin-set in this installation. 🍊

Hi Robert, There are a few things we would need to go over with you and whether or not you require waterproofing. Do you mind giving our Product Support team a call? You can reach them here: US: 800-472-4588 CA: 800-667-8746 Thanks!

Hi Debi, there are a few options. You could do the same trick of building out the rest of your wall tile with KERDI-BOARD or you can install a profile to match the height of the mosaic with the anchoring leg under the mosaic. QUADEC, JOLLY, RONDEC or RONDEC-DB could all work. It might be best to give our Customer Service team a call directly so you can discuss your project in a bit more detail and they can advise from there. 800-472-4588 (US) or 800-667-8746 (Canada). Hope this helps!

Thanks, I had the same question. My porcelain field tiles that I want to use are not as thick as the marble mosaic.

Ok great, hopefully our answer to Debi helps, let us know if anything else!

i hate when that happens heh
