Tip #6, NEVER install glass tiles in a shower door opening where you plan to install any type of frameless heavy glass enclosure. The glass tiles are NOT suitable as a material base for frameless glass installations and will crack and break due to the torque exerted on the baseplates of the hinges and clamps. . Use a ceramic or porcelain tile for any surface that is to be mounted to.
He said 'movement' joint. Just keep movement joints free from grout every 8 ft. and use a matching silicone caulk. His corner movement joints look like about 1/16", so it 'Looks Nice' but Custom probable specs out 1/4" movement caulk joints 'Everywhere' if you want a warranty.

sir, your product find very nice. i would like to inform you that i have developed a actual sheet glass tile. which can be mounted on bathroom,kitchen side walls with cement.it can be produce with verious colours and designe. l hope for your reply . thanks.
Excellent video, nicely explained. I want to buy your product. I previously used MAPEI thinset mortar and grout for an RV bath mosaic floor install. I did it myself. Held up well. I now want to tile the small shower stall of an RV, It moves, so thinset and grout must be flexible. I will use your thinset product and Polymer. How do I mount the mosaic to wall? Someone had done it professionally in an RV. They used some sort of fiberglass mesh (?) or something to hold it up firmly on the walls. It also has to be moisture proof, so needs a water barrier skin. Principal problem is the RV movement when driving. Please share any tips for mounting mosaic tiles in a moving van, on vertical walls, moisture proof, and good adhesion to surface substrate. Many thanks!
Lass - please give our technical services team a call to discuss your project at 800-282-8786. Generally speaking, CUSTOM offers various products to help prevent cracks in tile and grout such as flexible mortars (like MegaLite and FlexBond), crack isolation membranes (such as RedGard Waterproofing and Crack Prevention liquid, EasyMat, and RedGard Uncoupling Mat) and backerboard.

Meh, as long as you use the right thin set, it's not really any different than ceramic- there are crazy amounts of standards for everything and the most important ones are always followed by pros, but everything else is to protect the manufacturers

Hummm. Too many numbered standards for a DIY project.
