Unique Counter Tile
Print VersionBookmarkEmail this page to a friend.
Here's a unique way to use small unmatched quantities of tile for an unusual countertop. Just break up the tiles into random pieces. Use thin-set mortar and create the pattern of your choice. Let the tiles set overnight, then use ceramic-grade grout with an additive to prevent wide joints from cracking. Let set for ten minutes and wipe with a dry synthetic pad. A wet pad would wash the joints out. When you're done you'll have an old-fashioned broken tile look.
